Homeowner Checklist
4 Clear Signs Your Windows Need to Be Replaced
Are your windows sending warning signals? Learn how to identify failing window seals, rot, sticky operation, and cold drafts.
Sign 1: Condensation or Fog Between Glass Panes
When the airtight seal holding insulating argon gas breaks, moisture creeps between panes, creating permanent foggy streaks that cannot be wiped clean.
Sign 2: High Energy Bills & Cold Floor Drafts
If room temperatures drop noticeably near windows during cold Utah winter nights, heat is escaping directly through worn weatherstripping and thin glass.
Sign 3: Difficulty Opening, Closing, or Locking
Swollen wood frames, warped vinyl, or rusted balance springs indicate structural fatigue and potential security vulnerabilities.
Sign 4: Frame Decay, Mold, or Water Damage
Soft wood sills, chipped paint, or water stains on surrounding drywall signal active water intrusion that can lead to structural rot.
