The Top 3 Signs You Might Need New Windows This Year

When you think about all the different functions your windows are responsible for, from beautiful curb appeal to maintaining a safe and comfortable indoor environment, it's easy to see how investing in timely window replacements can significantly affect your home's overall value and integrity. 

All-timate Roofing has helped countless homeowners maintain healthy homes through our many exterior remodeling services, including window replacements. If you aren't sure whether or not your home is due for updated windows, below are the top three signs that you should get in touch with a trusted window contractor this year.

1. Visible Signs of Damage or Decay

If you can easily spot signs of damage or decay just by glancing at your windows, there's a good chance that they will need to be replaced by the end of the year. Whether they sustained damage from a recent storm or have simply reached the end of their natural lifecycle, windows that are noticeably deteriorating are most likely not performing as well as they used to. 

Some of the most common forms of wear and tear on windows include:

  • Rotted or Warped Frames
  • Broken or Cracked Glass Panes
  • Water Stains Around Windows
  • Peeling Paint on Frames

2. Windows Aren't Functioning Properly

Another way to determine if your home will need new windows in 2025 is observing how well they function. Your windows should be able to easily provide your home with natural light, fresh air and more, so if you find that they aren't performing as well as they used to, you'll want to call a window specialist sooner rather than later.

There are many signs that your windows have lost significant functionality, such as:

  • Difficult to Open and Close
  • Water Leaks
  • Increased Noise from Outside
  • Foggy or Cloudy Glass

3. Decrease in Home Energy Efficiency

If your windows appear intact and seem to be operating normally, the final indicator that you need a new window installation is a decrease in your home's energy efficiency. Quality windows should be able to stop heat transfer from occurring and keep your home at a stable and comfortable temperature year-round. When homeowners begin relying on their heating and cooling systems more and more, a window replacement could greatly improve your indoor climate.

You can determine if your current windows are lacking adequate energy efficiency capabilities by looking for signs like:

  • Faded Furniture or Carpeting
  • Increased Monthly Energy Bills
  • Worsening of Allergy Symptoms
  • Drafts or Air Leaks
