Window Maintenance Tips
New windows can have a huge impact on your home, both in energy efficiency and in general aesthetics. And while window replacement can be a big undertaking, the benefit is that most windows and doors are made to last for many years. But how can you ensure that your windows continue to function properly throughout the seasons? Regular maintenance can make all the difference. Cleaning and checking your windows regularly can keep things operating smoothly and provides the opportunity to identify any issues before they can grow into larger problems.
Here at HEGG, we recommend doing regular maintenance on your windows at least once a year, typically around when the seasons change. But what does window maintenance entail? Below we included a list of items to review, and as always, we are here to help if you have any questions.
Window Maintenance Checklist
- Clean the window track of dirt and debris that may have accumulated throughout the year
- Ensure weep holes are clean and unobstructed (if necessary)
- Inspect caulking around the windows and fill in as needed
- Check weatherstripping and ensure that everything remains securely attached
- Check all hardware and tighten screws when needed
- Open and close each window to check for smooth operation
Choosing to work with HEGG Windows & Doors means that you will get superior products as well as a top-quality installation. But as with anything, regular maintenance can help prolong the life of your windows and keep things working smoothly for years.

I'm a big fan of HEGG Windows because of their customer service, attention to detail, and amazing communication. I had got several quotes before deciding on HEGG and what helped with my decision was that they are a local company, sales was not pushy, professional, price was reasonable, and communication/follow-ups were so nice. The installers were great and the quality inspection afterwards was helpful - they already found something to fix (hardware replacement) and are on it! I feel really taken care of. Thank you HEGG! Will definitely look for you for more windows in the future.

Probably the best company I’ve ever dealt with for home improvement. We just had a small, one door project and I felt like they treated us like we had a huge whole house window install. Communication was excellent from the company at every step. Final product was high quality, and they even did a follow up inspection to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely use this company again when the need arises.

Highly recommend Hegg Windows and Doors! Knowledgeable, professional, communicative, great selection, and low pressure sales approach! Recently had sliding doors, 3 season room windows, entry doors replaced. Very happy with end result. The walk-through after installation addressed any questions or adjustments needed. They even caulked and touched up paint inside and out! A rare company built on customer satisfaction.

The whole team was great to work with. They are skilled in what they do and very professional. We had a small job of replacing just two windows and they did an excellent job. We appreciated the follow up inspection and lessons on how to care for our new windows. Kudos to Josh, Virginia, and the whole team.

Excellent communication from the beginning of the process to the final QA walkthrough after the installation. This is the type of company you WANT to do business with rather than a company you have to work with. Excellent organization!
