As anyone knows, one of the most important things to keep in mind when buying a home is the condition of the windows. Although, many homeowners tend to overlook this part of their home once they have moved in and become settled. The changing of the leaves can serve as a great reminder to not only get yourself some pumpkin spice coffee from the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts but also pay some attention to your long-neglected windows before the winter arrives.
The Best Of Both Worlds
Unlike many household chores that are either strictly indoors or outdoors, windows are special because they act as a doorway between the elements of nature as well as the contained chaos that takes place within your home. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to ensure that your windows are kept updated, cleaned and in good shape because if not, this combination of aspects can lead to a variety of negative impacts on your home such as heating and cooling losses as well as a decrease in curb appeal and value.
Common Practices
When beginning your Fall window maintenance, it is important to start with a window cleaning on the outside and the inside. The reason why it is crucial to start with this step is due to the fact that when the window is dirty it may be hard to get an accurate understanding of what condition the window is actually in. Once your windows are clean you can easily go through a list of questions such as: is there any broken glass? Do the windows open and close easily? Are the locks functional? Once you have completed all of these steps it becomes very easy to compile a list of things that need to be addressed in order to get the windows in optimal condition. An example of one of the most common issues to become apparent is the need for a new paint job. The paint on windows tends to chip and become faded over time due to exposure to the sun’s UV rays decreasing the home’s curb appeal as well as appearance as was mention earlier. Although, in some cases, the windows are beyond the point of maintenance as they have become officially outdated and due for replacement.
