5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Home’s Glass Windows in Northern Virginia
Published by Apex Glass & Doors – Serving Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax & D.C.

Your windows play a major role in your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. But how do you know when it’s time to replace them?

Here are 5 warning signs to watch for:


1. Foggy Glass Between Panes
If you notice condensation or fog trapped inside your double-pane windows, that’s a sign the seal is broken. This not only affects visibility but also reduces insulation. It’s time for a replacement.


2. Cracks, Chips, or Scratches
Even small cracks or chips can spread over time. Damaged windows also pose safety risks and allow drafts and insects into your home.


3. Difficulty Opening or Closing
If your windows are jammed, warped, or don’t lock properly, they could be putting your home security and comfort at risk. Our team can replace them with smooth-sliding, energy-efficient models.


4. High Energy Bills
Old or inefficient windows can let warm or cool air escape. Replacing them can drastically reduce your heating and cooling costs.


5. Outdated Style or Rotting Frames
Beyond function, windows affect your home’s appearance. If your frames are worn or the design is outdated, new glass windows can upgrade both style and resale value.
