Five Signs Your Windows Were Poorly Installed

We all want beautiful windows to put the final touches on our home, but it’s important to make sure your contractor installs your replacement windows properly. Poorly installed windows can make your home uncomfortable with drafts and may contribute to energy loss with your system working twice as hard to keep your home’s temperature consistent. In many cases, the best solution is investing in high-quality replacement windows, like those we carry at Mr. Rogers Windows. As the Tidewater area’s exclusive source for Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows, we know the right way to install windows.

Here are a few signs to look out for when the windows in your Virginia Beach home have been poorly installed:

  • Trouble operating: Any windows that are meant to open and close or slide, like double hung windows, should be easy to move every time. If you struggle to open or close your windows every time you use them – especially after just getting new ones – faulty installation could be the reason why.
  • Gaps between the windowsill and frame: Windows should fit perfectly in between the windowsill and frame, so any noticeable gap means the measurements are off. Gaps can let in drafts and moisture, especially during our rainy seasons here in Virginia. They may also make your windows less energy efficient. We pride ourselves on our legacy of environmental stewardship, and that includes our installation process. When your windows are properly installed, it helps to save the environment and eliminate waste.
  • Uneven or poor caulking: Caulking is what seals your windows and keeps them in place. It can also be one of the easiest ways to spot poor window replacement. Virginia Beach experiences harsh weather, and if the caulking isn’t done right, it can wreak havoc. If the caulking on your windows looks sloppy and uneven, your installer might have lacked patience and did not complete the job correctly, so your windows won’t be as efficient. Mr. Rogers Windows only uses Certified Master Installers, who take care to make sure to take all the time needed to install your windows properly. We never use subcontractors.
  • Water damage: Poorly installed windows tend to collect water damage because they are not sealed correctly. If your windows leak when it rains, or water stains are left on the walls around them, chances are your windows were not installed correctly.
  • Lack of warmth: If drafts are getting into your home, or it’s unnecessarily cold around your windows, this could mean there are gaps or poorly sealed areas around your windows. Your home should be heated in the colder months, but with improperly installed windows, you will lose heat. Since we measure our custom-built windows to within a fraction of an inch of your current openings, you’re guaranteed a tight seal and immediate performance.
