Windows are vital within the home because they protect you and your home from the elements. Imagine there being a storm or a hot day and not having the ability to close or open the windows. Here at Phil DiBello Family Roofing, we are experts in regards to window installation and replacing windows. If you’ve had your windows for over twenty years, then it’s probably a good time to start looking into window replacement. Keep reading to discover some myths about replacement windows.

1) You Shouldn’t Replace Windows During the Winter

Since it’s frigid during the winter, you may think that it’s too risky to have your home exposed to the elements. However, any window replacement expert knows what precautions to take to replace your home from the cold. The rooms where work occurs should be closed off from other parts of the house to combat the change in temperature. An expert should also make sure that no debris gets left behind in your home and have your home exposed to open air for as little time as possible

2) Windows Can’t Be Energy Efficient

Doors, like windows, have a significant impact on the energy that transmits in and out of the home. Take the time to research what types of windows are energy efficient and talk to your contractor about installing them. Look up low emissivity or “Low E” windows. Also adding argon gas into between window panes allows better insulation.

3) Wooden Windows Trump the Rest

Vinyl replacement windows made with unplasticized PVC are ideal because they’re less susceptible to water damage, rotting, and are very sturdy. These types of windows are very low-maintenance. Wood is classic and timeless, so if you still want a wood-like appearance, there are wood grain options.

4) You Should Ignore the Rating of a Window Replacement Company

When having work done to your house, always check the ratings. Phil DiBello Family Roofing is highly reputable with rave reviews. You don’t want to spend more money trying to fix the work of a contractor that wasn’t an expert or didn’t care about what they were doing. Also, when windows are improperly replaced or installed within the home, it’s a safety hazard, and your home may be susceptible to energy loss which in the end, causing your energy bills to become higher as well.
