If your windows or sliding glass doors are in need of replacing, there is no better time to have the work completed than during the Spring season.
There are many reasons that Spring is the perfect time to have your windows replaced.
The conditions are perfect… literally! The materials used to replace the windows, such as vinyl and aluminum, can expand in warmer weather and contract in colder temperatures. Another material that is directly impacted by the temperature is caulk. If caulking takes place when the weather is cold, the caulk could crack and/or split. Waiting for summer is also not a good idea when it comes to caulking. In hot temperatures, caulk may not cure properly. The perfect temperature to apply caulk is typically between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The weather is perfect. One obvious reason that Spring is the ideal time to replace your windows is the weather itself! If you replace your windows during the winter months, you will be letting in tons of cold air into your home and most likely be turning on the heat, and therefore increasing your energy bill. On the other end of the spectrum, if you replace your window during the scorching summer months, you will be letting in hot air into your house, and most likely cranking up your air conditioner!
It’s the perfect time to change the look of your home. When it comes to aesthetics, what better time is there than Spring to give your home (including windows) a new facelift! It is also the time when you may notice that your windows need replacing in the first place! Many people notice their windows or framing are deteriorating when they are doing their annual Spring cleaning. It may have been a while since you have even tried to open your windows, especially if you live in a climate with snow and freezing temperatures during the winter months. So you may even notice that your windows are not opening and closing easily, or perhaps they are even stuck.
As you may know there are many benefits to replacing your windows, no matter what the season. These include aesthetics, energy efficiency and addressing maintenance issues. So if those reasons are causing window replacement to be on your to-do list, the Spring season is the perfect time to get the work done and cross the task off your list!
