Top 7 Signs Your Windows Need Replacing

We all know winter in Winnipeg hits hard. But if your home still feels cold inside, your windows might be to blame.


Here are 7 signs it's time to consider a window replacement - before problems snowball into major headache

1. Frost on the inside

Condensation and ice buildup inside the glass usually mean poor insulation. It's not just annoying - it can damage window frames and your walls over time and lead to higher heating bills.

2. Drafts you can feel

If your curtains flutter even when the windows are shut, cold air is finding a way in. And that means your heat is finding a way out.

3. Sky-High Heating Bills

The average Winnipeg home loses up to 30% of its heat through old windows. Replacing them can help drop your energy costs significantly.

4. Difficult to open or close

If your windows stick, swell, or won’t lock properly, that’s a red flag for warped frames and poor sealing.

5. Visible damage or rot

Wood rot, cracked seals, or chipped frames aren’t just cosmetic—they’re a structural issue.

6. Street noise is louder

Newer windows offer better soundproofing. If outside noise feels like it’s inside, your windows are outdated.

7. They're Just... Old

Sometimes you can just tell.

Don't wait until it's -40°

Window problems don't fix themselves. But the good news? We do. With one call, you can fix them for good.
