Fenestration Frustration?

Is it time to think about replacing the windows in your cabin? Below are five reasons why you may want to start lining up estimates.

1 Decaying or deteriorating components.

Older windows are made mostly of wood and glass. Even with regular painting, water can find its way into the wood, creating decay. Seals between double panes of glass can deteriorate, allowing moisture between the panes. Over time, glass will become hazy. Frost inside or between panes also indicates potential problems with either the window unit or its installation. (Note: During extreme temperatures, even high quality, well-installed windows can frost.)
