The Homeowner’s Guide to Windows

Windows are what we do best, and we’ve been at it for nearly 100 years. Here is what you need to know when it comes to the windows in your home.

Time to Replace Your Windows?

As a homeowner, you have to be able to recognize the signs of a window that needs to be replaced. This may include:

• Increased draftiness in your home
• Condensation on the glass

If you have concerns, a Pella representative can help you answer some initial questions.
