Q: What’s the biggest mistake homeowners make when it comes to their windows?
The biggest mistake is waiting until a window completely fails before replacing it. Most windows give homeowners years of warning through drafts, condensation between panes, difficult operation, rotting frames, or rising energy bills. Addressing those problems early often saves money and prevents water damage to surrounding walls and trim.
