Hurricane season can bring high winds, heavy rain, flying debris, and the potential for significant damage to your home. While you can’t control the weather, you can take steps to make your home better prepared before the next storm arrives. One of the most important places to start is with your windows and doors.
Inspect Your Windows Before the Storm
Take a walk around your home and inspect your windows for visible cracks, damaged frames, loose hardware, or deteriorating seals. Pay attention to windows that are difficult to open or close, show signs of moisture between the glass panes, or allow drafts into your home.
These may be signs that your windows are aging or no longer performing as efficiently as they should. Addressing these issues before hurricane season can help you avoid scrambling for repairs when severe weather is approaching.
Don't Forget Your Doors
Your exterior and patio doors are also important parts of your home's protection. Check for loose hardware, damaged weatherstripping, gaps around the frame, or difficulty opening and closing the door.
A properly installed, high-quality door can help keep wind and rain from finding their way into your home while also improving energy efficiency and comfort throughout the year.
Consider an Upgrade Before You Need One
If your home's windows are older, hurricane season is a good time to consider whether they're still meeting your needs. Modern replacement windows can offer improvements in energy efficiency, durability, comfort, and overall performance.
