Are you still using the same window styles and decorations that you did during winter? In this post Renewal by Andersen® of British Columbia shares some fun ways to spring-proof your windows!

5 Tips on Transitioning Your Home From Winter to Spring

1. Clean the Windows Thoroughly

Get rid of watermarks, rotting wood and mold spots. These are just some of the common water damages that might have accumulated on your windows last winter. Feel free to hire a window company if the stains are too hard to clean.

2. Get Rid of Dark, Heavy Curtains

Dark, heavy curtains can help keep you warm and cozy during the cold winter months. Now that spring is here, however, switch to lighter, airy ones. Retaining your old winter curtains will only hinder airflow, increase humidity, and trap heat indoors.

3. Check for Damage

Watch out for mold buildups, rotten wood, and panel cracks, among others. These seemingly small issues can quickly worsen, spread out, and become a bigger, more expensive defect than they originally were. So make sure to have a window contractor address them right away.

Tip: Inspecting your windows during the cold winter months isn’t wrong. However, it’s much easier to spot window damages and problems during spring because there’s no ice or snow to obstruct your repairs.

4. Decorate Windows With Indoor Plants

Bust out your favorite indoor plants and build a small garden by the windows. Apart from improving your home’s interior design, these can help get rid of unwanted odors by stimulating natural airflow and ventilation.

5. Consider Getting New Windows — If Needed

Have you been meaning to get a new set of replacement windows? Spring’s the best time to do so! Contractors get more daylight, the weather is always nice, and the warm temperature helps window caulk set faster.

Thanks to Ariel and Nick Baker for ensuring the job at my Mom’s was finished following her passing. Nick was thoughtful and went the extra mile, and Ariel was helpful in scheduling. Thank you again.

Vlad and his team did a fantastic job. They arrived on time, were efficient, professional and communicated effectively throughout the installation. Highly recommended.

Despite the salesman’s statement about the final condition being just like it’s current condition, I was nonetheless concerned. My concern was that the trim inside and out would be damaged as the trim inside is very dated and would’ve been impossible to duplicate and the outdoor trim is very weathered vinyl, replacement would also be impossible. The installers were very professional and did an amazingly great job and the finished job was perfect in all ways.

We recently replaced our bay windows with a 10’ sliding doors by Renewal by Anderson. We are extremely happy with the quality and service of their work. And for a reasonable price too. Dustin, the project manager was above and beyond, punctual and very attentive to details. It is not a small job , but Dustin manage and coordinate the works and finish the installation within a day. Touch up was done in the later days. Dusting came a few times to confirm all work was done properly. We were fully satisfied the work. The installation team and touch up team (Nick and Cody) were also great. They were polite and professional. I asked touch up team for dry wall patch texture so we can patch other walls that were damaged by us. But they offered to patch and sand the damage for us free. It was completed a lot better than what we can do. For this, I will give a 5 star rating.

We had our windows and patio doors replaced by Renewal by Andersen. Jason gave us multiple options to choose from that would fit into our strata's requirements and was straightforward about the time it would take to manufacture the windows and doors. While it took slightly longer than expected for the job to be completed due to some Covid-19 supply chain issues (who hasn't run into those in the last couple of years?), the job was completed and we are very happy with the results. Corey and his crew were very professional and respectful of our concerns about physical distancing, etc. during the installation. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the installation work was completed. The installed windows and doors look very good and make our home more comfortable. I'd give Corey and his crew a 10 out of 10 for their service.The 20 year warranty on the glass and Fibrex portion of the windows and the 10 year warranty on the remainder of the hardware was much appreciated seeing as one of our neighbours who went with a different company three years ago had issues within 2 years but were only covered for 1 year.

The installation crew was awesome, the office communication and the technician were great. The windows quality is very good, I highly recommend. Just to warn you that the standard order doesn't include any locks, handles, or slide stoppers by default: you have to order them separately.Also I want to mention, the company does go above and beyond to make things right for you. At the end you will have cool windows that will keep your house warm and beautiful.

They took their sweet time to explain well the differences between other materials/products. The company know how important it is for any homeowners to be energy efficient and helped ease the financial aspects that comes with window installations.
