There are some home improvement projects that most people avoid as long as they can. No one wants to get a new roof unless it’s absolutely necessary, right? Likewise, no one wants to go through window replacement in Newport Beach, CA unless they have to. So how can you avoid window replacement? By making your current windows last. Here are a few tips to help you out:  

Tip 1: Keep Up With Maintenance 

The maintenance needs of your windows will vary based on what type you have, but whatever you have, if you maintain it well, it’ll last longer. If you have wood windows, there’s a lot more to do. You’ll want to make sure the windows are sealed properly so the wood is protected against the elements. Otherwise, the windows will start to warp, rot, or sag, and the wood will look awful. It will mean scraping and painting or staining every few years, but it’ll certainly make your windows last longer. Other windows might need re-caulking or weather stripping on occasion and you can also oil up the tracks on certain windows to keep them operating smoothly.  

Tip 2: Repair Quickly 

Any number of things can happen with windows and when you notice something occurring, get it fixed right away. Window issues don’t heal like a paper cut on your skin. If you don’t address the problem, it will only get worse, like an infection. Repairing it right away will keep the window in good condition, which will make it last longer. If you don’t know how to do the repairs yourself, contact a professional. Having someone fix the windows will cost much less than having someone replace them later.  

Tip 3: Get Inspections 

When your windows are starting to look old and worn, have a professional come in and take a look. If you get a company you know you can trust, they won’t tell you to replace the windows unless that’s really want needs to be done. You can trust their opinion and if there are necessary repairs or other tips that can keep your windows working longer, they’ll tell you that as well.
