The Best Solution For Drafty Windows

Are you suffering through those long Michigan winters?

Does your home feel cool and drafty during the winter? 

Are you constantly searching for blankets and slippers when you’re lounging in your living room?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, you might be in the market for replacement windows in Ann Arbor!

At Wilderness Construction, we offer a variety of window replacement services and install quality brands at great prices.

We also want to make sure that you save your money wherever you can, and fix those drafty windows on a budget.

• Get replacement windows. This is the most expensive solution, but if your windows have never been replaced and are starting to deteriorate, this could save you money on your heating bills in the long run.
• Get a “draft snake”! You’ve probably seen these around doors in older homes. These tubes of fabric can be filled with dry rice, and put on windowsills to keep cold air from seeping into a home.
• Apply weather stripping. For an easy fix, you can get plastic weather stripping to put along the sides of the sashes on your windows. Windows can still open and shut with this type of seal in place, but it will keep the cold air outside your home, instead of creeping inside.
• Re-caulk your windows. Sometimes window sashes on older windows and in older homes shrink with age, causing drafts. Rope caulk can be applied to fill in the gap, and comes out easily when spring arrives.

If your windows are old and simply past their useful lives, it might be time to call the pros at Wilderness Construction and consider a total window replacement. These windows will last longer than some of the simple fixes listed above.
