Top 5 Reasons to Upgrade Your Windows and Doors This Spring

Spring is an exciting time of year. The chill of winter has finally faded, and everyone is gearing up for a long Florida summer. Spring cleaning is a common side effect of wanting your home to be fresh and new with the season. In addition to polishing every surface and deep-cleaning every corner of the house, the perfect time to upgrade your windows and doors is in spring.

The weather is wonderfully mild and the perfect time of year for a few strategic home upgrades.

Why Upgrade Windows and Doors in Spring

These are the top five reasons homeowners benefit from upgrading windows and doors in the spring. Explore each reason to know what you will enjoy most about new windows and doors for your home.

1. Hurricane Storm Protection: No More Shutters
   Each year, Florida homeowners start storm preparations as early as possible. With storm season beginning June 1, spring is the ideal time to make upgrades to protect your home.
   
   Impact windows and doors are built to withstand Category 5 hurricane forces. An upgrade provides safety and elegance without closing the storm shutters before every high-speed tropical storm or hurricane blows through.
   
   Storm shutters protect your windows, but they are hard to operate, especially for older homeowners. They will darken your home until it's safe to open again. With hurricane windows and doors, you can enjoy the security of sturdy storm protection with access to natural light and a view.
2. Energy Efficiency and AC Cost Savings
   Warm weather and rising hot temperatures are on the way. With summer just around the corner, spring is the perfect time to prepare your home for improved energy efficiency.
   
   Energy-efficient windows and doors made from durable impact glass can help keep the inside of your home cool and comfortable. Look for signs like cracks or condensation that indicate your old windows aren't what they used to be and could be letting warm air in.
   
   New windows and doors are better insulated and can help lower your power bill. When running the AC can occupy over half of your monthly bill, the cost savings from insulated windows and doors can provide a serious boost.
3. Enhanced View With Noise Reduction
   When you upgrade your windows and doors, you gain an enhanced view of the outdoors. What you might not realize is the blessing of peace and quiet inside your home after the new glass is installed. Impact glass is insulated against temperature changes and noise transfer. This means far fewer sounds will make it through the window into your home.
   
   Replace your patio door with sliders or French doors for an elegant view plus noise reduction convenience. Lanai or patio styles are an extension of your home that you can enjoy as an outdoor living space. Insulated glass windows and doors allow you to enjoy your outdoor space and keep indoor areas quiet. You also don't need to worry about neighbors enjoying their outdoor space, as your home will provide enhanced audio privacy.
4. Home Security
   Impact windows and doors stop flying tree branches and patio furniture propelled by hurricane-force winds. Home intruders and normal human strength do not compare. This is why impact windows and doors are often prized for their home security protection against home intruders as often as they are valued for storm protection. With the triple-layer design, even if the outer pane breaks, intruders would still have to break the inner pane and push through a membrane covered in glass shards - a prospect no thief seeking an easy mark would choose.
5. Curb Appeal and Home Value
   Whether you are looking to make your home a jewel of the neighborhood or are boosting property value to sell, new windows and doors are a great addition to the market value of any home. Enhance the value of your home while enjoying its beauty today with new windows that perfectly complement the home's architectural style.
