Common Reasons Your Windows Need Replacement
Some signs are more obvious to see than others when diagnosing your windows. Those obvious signs will look like drafts, visible damage, and condensation.

Drafts
Drafts can be frustrating to deal with. They usually go unnoticed during the warmer weather months but during the colder days it can warrant a problem for home owner. There are some cases where you may even hear a whistling noise coming from your window. Drafts are caused by weather stripping or a poor seal.

Condensation
When it comes down to your windows moisture is not good. Especially, if that moisture is on the inside of your home or even inside the window panes. Modern windows have gas on the inside of them between the panes that offer an extra layer of protection. If you find condensation on the inside of your windows that means the gas has escaped. This could be due to cracks in the glass or a faulty seal.

Damage to your window can seem like the most obvious reason for window replacement, but depending on the situation they can be repaired. Some examples would be mold, cracks, rust, and rotten wood to name a few. An expert will be able to determine if your window needs a full replacement or just a simple repair.
