When to Replace Your Windows and Doors

Windows and doors, like any part of your home, can suffer from different conditions. They can become drafty, or their frames can rot due to changes in the weather. While some problems can be repaired, there are also issues that require a total replacement.

Let Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming show you what problems can be repaired/or replaced.

Problems That Can Be Repaired

• Inoperable Doors and Windows – If you are having a hard time operating your doors and windows then chances are that there is debris buildup in their tracks. Broken hardware or sashes painted shut can also be the reason. You have the option of cleaning the tracks and other parts as a solution. You can also break the paint seal with a putty knife to open a painted-shut window.
• Drafty Doors and Windows – This can be due to many factors such as worn out caulking, weather stripping, loose sash, or rotting wood. You can patch small rotting areas with epoxy while you can replace old caulking and weather stripping.
• Broken Seals – Contractions and expansions caused by heat buildup can destroy seals, leading to condensation between glass panes. Installing a new sash is a fast and easy way to repair this problem.

Problems That Require a Total Replacement

• Extensive Rotting – If many parts of your doors are windows are rotting, then it is best to replace them.
• Broken Panes – If you see cracks, dents, or chips on the glass panes of your doors and windows, then you are better off replacing them with brand new windows and doors in Douglas, WY.
• Warped Entry Door – If your entry doorframe is too warped to open, then trading them with a new door is a smart move.
