5 Signs It's Time To Replace Your Windows
Katelyn Lewis • June 26, 2024
How Do you know if it's time to replace your home's windows?
The lifespan of your windows depends on the type you have and their maintenance, but here are the top 5 warning signs you may need new ones:
• You feel a draft.
• Your windows have visible damage or moisture, such as cracking, decaying, or condensation between the glass panels.
• Your energy bill is super high due to your windows’ inefficiencies.
• Your windows are difficult to operate.
• You can hear outdoor noises loud and clear inside your home.
Replacing your windows is a great investment that will increase your home’s energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal.

Unfortunately there are folks out there more concerned with a quick sale than with helping you with your home exteriors.
This Midlothian homeowner originally reached out to Retex in October 2023 for a roof repair for a leak in her kitchen as well as a roof replacement estimate. RETEX’s Andy Connor met with her, gave her both quotes, and we repaired her roof. She reached back out to Andy in March 2024, ready to move forward with RETEX on replacing her roof.
If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.
Bryan Rizo serves on our Repair Team Alpha. Alongside Julio, Bryan repairs shingle roofs and installs small flat TPO roofs on homes across Richmond and Fredericksburg. He’s been with RETEX for three years, and we’re blessed to have him on board.

Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.
This story began in April 2022, when a neighbor with many hats – a fellow Surreywoodian, a local pastor, and owner of an auto mechanic shop – reached out to RETEX’s Josh Lewis and Mark Erickson to assess his church’s roof and siding after experiencing hail damage.
