Many people assume that you can’t replace windows in winter. They think that it’s too cold and wet for window installers to be able to do a good job. They also worry about their home’s interior being exposed to the elements, as they think that all of the windows are taken out before the new ones are installed.
In truth, you can indeed replace windows in winter. The process is a bit different than it is in the warmer months and weather impacts scheduling, of course. However, if you have a broken window or you just want to get some windows replaced, there’s no need to wait for spring. You can replace windows in winter by working with expert window specialists who know how to work with the elements to provide you with the highest quality work, regardless of the season.
How Do You Replace Windows In Winter?
Winter window replacement is done a bit differently than other seasons. The basics of measuring, removal, and installation are the same. However, in order to keep your home as warm as possible and minimize interior exposure to the elements, window installers work one window at a time.
Energy bills just keep spiking. Money aside, no one wants to feel like they’re freezing in their own home. By closing the doors to the room they are working in (if possible) or using floor-to-ceiling plastic barriers and working only one window at a time, installers are able to keep as little cold air from entering your home as possible.
What About Winter Weather Conditions?
Concerned about the cold, wet weather impacting the quality of your window installation? That’s a valid concern to have. Window professionals know how to work in each season – including when the temperatures have dropped down too low or when the weather would impact the quality of a job.
If rescheduling is necessary, you can trust an experienced pro to communicate with you. That way, you can rest assured that even if the job has to be rescheduled due to the weather or the temperature, it will be done, and when it is, it will be done correctly. The last thing you want is to shell out the money for window replacements only for shoddy workmanship.
When you work with professionals like the team here at Creekside Windows & Glass, you can rest assured that we’ll get the job done right – the first time.
Should You Replace Windows In Winter?
The answer to whether or not you can do something is usually yes, depending on the amount of effort you put in. However, whether or not you should is another question entirely. For many things, like DIY pressure washing, yes, you can, but no, you really shouldn’t.
Winter window replacement, on the other hand, is something that you should have done if you need it. If you’ve got old, drafty windows, those are driving your energy bill up and making your home less comfortable. Old windows can lead to mold and mildew. Like any other season, if your windows need to be replaced, your curb appeal is suffering and your wallet is hurting.
As such, if you need to replace windows in winter, you can go ahead and schedule a service.
Benefits To Replacing Your Windows In The Winter
Beyond the obvious benefits that accompany window replacement as a whole, there are some unique perks to when you replace windows in winter.
- Easier scheduling. The warmer seasons tend to be very busy, as everyone is trying to get their window issues taken care of. Since many people prefer to wait until winter ends before getting their windows replaced, you may find that it’s easier to get your project scheduled.
- Potential for “off season” deals. This isn’t always the case, of course. But some installers and window companies will provide incentives during the winter months that they wouldn’t otherwise.
