Title: Northeast Homeowners Are Replacing Windows Before Another Harsh Winter Hits
From coastal Maine to New Jersey, homes along the Atlantic Coast face a unique mix of freezing winters, humid summers, and the occasional nor’easter. This combination can wear down even the highest-quality windows over time.
Why the Northeast Is Tough on Windows:
- Freeze-Thaw Cycles – Constant temperature swings expand and contract window frames, loosening seals.
- Heavy Snow Loads – Can stress frames and cause warping.
- Salt Air (Coastal Areas) – Corrodes hardware and eats away at paint.
- High Heating Bills – Drafty windows drain energy during long winters.
Modern Northeast-Ready Windows:
- Triple-pane insulation for superior warmth.
- Reinforced frames for snow load resistance.
- Low-E coatings to reduce summer heat gain.
- Custom designs that match classic colonial, cape, and Victorian styles.
Replacing old windows before winter can save hundreds in heating costs and increase comfort. Local pros offer free inspections and quotes—before the snow flies.
