Keep Your Views Clear, Your Bills Low, and Your Home Protected Year-Round
Windows are more than just a way to let in light and enjoy the view — they’re key to energy efficiency, home security, and overall comfort. Yet, many homeowners overlook window maintenance until problems arise, like drafts, condensation, or mold. In this blog, we’ll walk through simple, proactive steps to ensure your windows stay in top shape through every season.
Inspect for Damage Seasonally
Check frames for signs of rot, warping, or cracking, especially after winter or heavy storms.
Look for moisture between double panes — a sign of seal failure.
Ensure locks and latches are secure and functioning properly for both safety and insulation.
Clean the Right Way
Use a vinegar and water solution for streak-free glass. Avoid abrasive cleaners that damage finishes.
Clean window screens gently with a soft brush and soapy water, then air dry.
Wipe down sills and tracks to prevent mold, bugs, and grime buildup.
Maintain Weather Seals and Caulking
Examine weatherstripping annually and replace if brittle or missing.
Re-caulk around the exterior of window frames to prevent drafts and water intrusion.
Use foam insulation tape or draft stoppers for quick fixes during colder months.
Upgrade for Energy Efficiency
Install thermal curtains or cellular shades to regulate indoor temperature.
Consider applying low-e film to reduce UV damage and lower cooling costs.
Replace old windows with double- or triple-pane models if drafts persist.
Seasonal Tips
In spring, check for pollen buildup and clean window exteriors thoroughly.
In fall, remove screens (if needed) and ensure windows are tightly sealed for winter.
During winter, watch for condensation inside, which may signal humidity issues indoors.
Regular window care not only preserves your home’s appearance but also enhances comfort, reduces energy costs, and extends the life of your windows. With a little seasonal attention, you’ll keep your home brighter, safer, and more efficient — all through the power of good window habits.
