The windows of your home boost curb appeal, help you enjoy the outdoors from the inside and protect you from the elements. But how do you know when they should be replaced? This is a question many Treasure Valley homeowners ask themselves while wondering whether they should replace them one at a time or all at the same time. That’s why Pacific Home & Patio would like to provide you with the following information concerning single and whole-home Boise window replacements.
Window Lifespan
When installed properly by an expert contractor, windows insulate your home, and prevent harsh UV rays and weather conditions from damaging your interiors – but, for how long? The lifespan of your windows can vary depending on the type of windows your home currently has.
- 20 Years – Double Pane Windows
- 30 Years – Aluminum Windows
- 40 Years – Fiberglass Windows
Furthermore, you can extend the lifespan of your windows by washing them regularly and having them routinely maintained by a professional.
Boise Window Replacements
Typically, you won’t have to replace your home’s windows before their expiration date. However, there are certain scenarios that can result in the need to replace them before then. These include:
- Cracked windowpane
- Damaged window frame
- Unwanted drafts
- Condensation between panes
- Home renovations
- Insulation failure
- Installation failure
Single & Whole Home Replacements
Not sure whether to replace one or more windows? When it comes down to it, you have two options depending on your individual situation. You can replace all the windows of your home at once or replace a single window at a time. However, it’s important to keep in mind the following pros and cons of each.
Whole Window Replacement Pros
- Whole window replacements often come with money-saving discounts.
- Your Boise window replacements project is completed sooner.
- Uniform window frames improve the aesthetic appeal of your home.
Whole Window Replacement Cons
- Whole window replacements can be expensive.
- Installation inconvenience due to a big project.
If you’re still unsure whether you want to replace one or all of your windows at once, you should contact Pacific Home & Patio to discuss your available options.
