As with all areas, Marin County has very new neighborhoods and older neighborhoods, many with beautiful homes. Homeowners in these older neighborhoods may be starting to experience problems with their windows, and some of these problems are reasons to start considering home window replacement.
By working with a top company in the Marin County area, homeowners can choose home window replacement as part of a large external or internal renovation, or replace the windows in just a single room. With both types of renovations, knowing if replacing the windows is required starts by considering these common reasons to get rid of the old and put in something new.
Old and Dated Looking Windows
Window styles have changed, and old windows can make a house look dated. New windows tend to have smaller, more streamlined frames and they also offer UV blocking glass, insulated glass, and coated glass that stops cold air loss in the summer and warm air loss on those few chilling nights in the winter.
Damaged Window Frames
Window frames can be damaged by exposure to water, rotting wood or any type shifting of the foundation of the home. Top companies like Northwest Exteriors can evaluate the condition of the frames and let homeowners know if there may be other issues at hand to consider before planning a home window replacement.
Rattling and Drafty Windows
Older styles of windows are also more likely to rattle and allow in a draft around the window or around the frame. Some may not be correctly close, which contributes to the problem. Replacing these damaged, old windows can eliminate these problems.
Water Leaks
Water leaks around windows when it rains may be corrected with chalking, but it may also be an issue with the frame itself. The longer the water is allowed to come in through the leak, the more damage it does to the surrounding walls.
