Reduce Break-Ins

Did you know that crime rates rise during winter? Installing quality doors and windows is one of the most effective ways to prevent unwanted entries into your house. Quality window and door replacements that meet forced entry resistance standards add an extra layer of security to your home. Furthermore, keep these replaced windows and doors in good condition by regularly checking for issues such as drafts or loose hinges and addressing any concerns quickly.

Helps Get Ready for Spring

Spring is the time to enjoy the nice weather and go outdoors, so get your home ready for the season. Installing new windows and doors during winter can help ensure you’re ready to enjoy the fresh air when spring arrives. Not only will it make your home look more inviting and aesthetically pleasing, but it will also improve energy efficiency by providing better insulation and air tightness, as well as brand new screens to enjoy the fresh air in the spring. This can help reduce your energy costs and improve the comfort level in your home when it starts to get warmer.

Easier Clean-Up

Snow and moisture can wreak havoc on an old, worn-out window or patio door. With fewer drafts, it will also be easier to keep your house warm without worrying about dust or dirt getting in via cracks or gaps in old windows or doors. Additionally, updating your windows and doors will help to prevent any moisture build-up, which can cause mold or mildew to grow over time. Winter is the perfect time to replace your windows and doors, so you can enjoy a clean, safe home come springtime.

Fewer Pests

During the chilly winter, pests such as ants, mosquitoes, wasps, and other bugs become dormant, meaning they are less likely to enter your home or cause any problems. Installing new doors and windows during winter can help prevent these pests from entering your home as it warms up. Additionally, the caulking and weather-stripping used to install these new doors and windows will further protect your home from any pests that may try to enter. This will help reduce bugs in your house all year long, making it a more comfortable place for you and your family.

More Energy-Efficient

Many older model doors have materials that need more effectively sealed air, leading to higher energy bills. Installing new windows and doors can help you save money by preventing air leakage and keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This is especially beneficial if you choose windows and doors designed with energy efficiency, as they can even more effectively reduce air exchange between the inside and the outside of your home.

Protection from Snow & Wind

Colorado Springs residents understand that snowstorms can be dangerous, as they bring high winds, low temperatures, and icy conditions that can make outdoor activities hazardous. Installing new doors and windows can help protect your home from the worst conditions by creating an insulating barrier and limiting the amount of snow and frigid air entering your house.
