Prepare for Winter with Upgraded Doors and Windows

It’s common practice to upgrade or replace your doors and windows before or near the fall season. These new additions help your home perform better as the weather gets colder, but that means nothing if the job isn’t done from a quality handyman service.

That’s why you should call upon Magnuson Handyman Services for your door and window needs. In this month’s blog, we’re going to discuss fall season replacements, and why you can always count on MHS.

Why Replace in Fall?

Replacing or upgrading your doors and windows in the fall is more of a reaction to what comes after fall, being winter. There are many reasons as to why it’s important you replace your doors and windows before the winter strikes:

• Replacing old or inefficient windows and doors before the colder weather sets in helps improve your home’s insulation and energy efficiency.
• Fall’s mild temperatures are ideal for window and door installation, allowing materials like caulk and sealant to set properly without being negatively affected by extreme heat or cold.
• Magnuson Handyman Services has more availability in the fall, with it being an off-peak season, offers potentially greater flexibility in scheduling and shorter wait times.

To put it simply, if your windows or doors are showing signs that they should be replaced in the fall, then they’re really going to show those signs in the winter. The sooner the better.

What are the Signs of Windows/Doors Needing Replacements?

While some are obvious, like cracks, mold, fading in the glass, here are some to watch out for that are just as important.

• A sudden increase in energy costs
• Drafts around windows and doors
• Condensation between windowpanes
• Sticking, jamming, or just having difficulty in operating them
• The age of the window or door

All these characteristics can go unnoticed before it’s too late, so keep an eye out for these before you end up in the back of a line or spend more money than you need to.
