      Window Replacement: Is It Necessary?

      Houses don’t speak, but they know how to show when parts of it need to be replaced. The window says a lot about the home. More than the exterior addition that it is to the overall design of the house, it also speaks of the home’s efficiency or the lack of it, especially after a few years of use. It is easy to say that windows are particularly communicative when they need to be checked or changed. Windows don’t last forever, no matter how high the quality of the material is or how often it is maintained.

      Why do windows need to be replaced? Several factors come into play. What should you be on the lookout for? Here are some tell-tale signs that your windows try to tell you that new windows are needed:

      • Damaged windows need to be replaced. You don’t have to wait until everything falls into pieces. Weatherstripping or requiring new hardware are minor window problems and having it repaired might be the best option. But if your windows refuse to stay open or fog up, repair is no longer an option. Although the windows may be operable, they are no longer as effective as you want them to be. It’s their way of telling you that they need to be replaced.If you are aiming at lowering the energy consumption of the entire household, then you must rethink about having your windows replaced. Windows help you save on costs by letting in sunlight during winter days. However, drafty windows could mean higher energy costs by as much as 25%. Replacing the old windows can genuinely make a remarkable difference in the heating and cooling bills.
      • If you are aiming at selling the house soon, new windows will be a good selling point to start.
      • Does it feel like your house needs a makeover? You can start with the windows. They are one of the most prominent features of the home, next to the door. When they look worn out and dilapidated, the entire house will listen too. Are the colors fading? Is the material warping? When your answer to either question is a yes, then it’s time to have your windows replaced. More than the aesthetic value it adds to your home, it is the overall efficiency that you must consider in the replacement window you plan to install.

      Is this the first time you are having your windows replaced? Make sure to work closely with home exterior innovators. They have the knowledge and the skills you need to help you pick the right window design and structure to ensure maximum efficiency is achieved in the house.

          The first time I talked to Gord for an estimate... was in the spring of 2018. It took me a full year to actually make the decision to go ahead with the project and Gord was super patient about having to come out and measure everything a second time this summer. He also put me in touch with an electrician who did excellent work with us as part of this project. We had all of our stucco removed and new insulation put up and then hardie board and all of the trim pieces/window finishes done as well. Everyone who worked together to make this happen did an excellent job. If you live in Edmonton, you know that we had pretty terrible weather this summer, but it didn't feel like this project took longer than Gord originally estimated it would take so that was great! I had a couple of questions at the end and Gord was great at answering them and sorted out an issue we had with one downspout placement no problem as well. This commitment to customer service/satisfaction is so important and I am happy to recommend MCM. He was also super helpful when we were choosing a colour and had a swatch book fedexed over to us. Pricing: In comparison to the other quotes I got, MCM was the lower cost option for sure. Based on what the other quotes looked like it seemed like other places were really marking up the hardie board product quite a lot. It was an expensive project, but I'm very happy with it and believe it was worth the price!read more

          We chose MCM Contract Installations because of... their excellent reviews. They did not disappoint with their excellent work. The two roofers were punctual, thorough and very knowledgeable. Frank, the fellow that did the fascia, shutter and siding work was very conscientious and particular about detail. We are extremely happy with the job and highly recommend MCM.read more

          We have just successfully completed a full... exterior renovation project with MCM Home Exteriors. We replaced and updated all windows, roof, siding, stonework, soffits, fascia, eaves and downspouts. This was no small undertaking on a 2300 sq. ft home considering our start and completion date requests. The project began and concluded as per the scheduled timelines that we arranged with MCM. The quality of the workmanship is simply unparalleled and the quoted amount of this enormous project is the exact amount that we paid upon completion. This is a rarity in the world of renovations and demonstrates MCM's commitment to excellence and maintaining the trust of their valued customers. We have been solely working with MCM since 2003 when we were fortunate enough to begin our longstanding and trusting working relationship with the Owners, Managers and dedicated Crews. We would recommend MCM to those looking for professionalism in the realm of renovations and trades, particularly if you are considering a project but simply aren't sure what questions to ask and where to begin. We would trust MCM to work on our children's future home projects. That alone says a lot about our working relationship. The Auger'sread more
