Replacing windows and doors can seem stressful—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re unsure if you need to replace or are wondering what to do next, we’re here to help you understand each step and make your replacement project a success, just like we did with designer and stylist Emily Henderson and her family's Mountain Home.
Is it really time for a replacement? Some signs, such as condensation or cosmetic damage, might not need replacement at all and are actually perfectly normal. Others, like water stains and wood rot, need immediate replacement.
Knowing the signs that require prompt attention versus those that can be easily fixed can help you evaluate whether and how soon a replacement is needed.
Need help deciding?
We can help you navigate the process of selecting your replacement windows and doors. We’ll get started with a high-level look at basic choices like window/door styles and materials (wood, extruded aluminum or Ultrex fiberglass), and then we’ll guide you through design options – like wood stains, colors, hardware finishes, shades and screens.
