Windows in PA
Spring in Pennsylvania is right around the corner. During your “spring cleaning”, we encourage you to take the time to carefully inspect your windows for winter damage. Windows in PA need basic window maintenance, and spring is a great time to do that. The winter months can take a serious toll on the functionality of your windows in PA and windowpanes, so a quick inspection while wiping them down will allow you to see small problems before they become problematic.
Here are a few signs to look out for when cleaning your windows in PA:
If you have old windows, you may notice the wood around your windows (or your window panes) has become discolored, yellowed, or soft with rot.
Carefully inspect each joint and seam for missing parts or cracks. If you do have cracks, you should be able to feel a draft by putting your hand in front of the windowpane.
Do you see dings or cracks in your glass? If so, contact a window professional before the cracks grow or the glass shatters entirely. Caulk can prevent an existing crack from spreading in a sash or frame and heat seal plastic can serve as an insulator against leaks, but nothing can substitute a good window repair or replacement job done by a professional.
Spring cleaning means more than just cleaning your home. Take the time to inspect your windows in PA can prevent future expensive damages, problems, and repairs.
