According to the National Association of Home Builders, exterior doors can last a lifetime if they’re properly maintained, but fiberglass and vinyl doors generally require replacing every 20 years. Windows generally should be replaced after 30 years for wood or 20 years for aluminum or vinyl. Windows and doors require inspection and periodic repair to remain in proper working order.
You should ensure doors and windows are draft free. You can do this yourself by take a candle and move it slowly around your doors and windows. Any movement of the flame indicates you have a draft. During a cold Vermont winter, those small drafts ensure you are wasting money heating your home because much of your heat escapes through these drafty areas. Kevin’s Home Maintenance repairs and replaces doors and windows helping you to save hundreds of dollars per year.
