Spring is the best time to inspect your windows in DFW. The temperature swings of winter have stressed your seals, and you have a few months before the peak summer heat arrives.
Why Spring Is the Right Time Window
seal failures that developed over winter often become visible in spring as temperatures start to rise. The thermal cycling of warming days and still-cool nights creates the condensation conditions that reveal failed seals. Catching them now means you can schedule repairs before summer — when demand for window services peaks and wait times are longer.
The Inspection Checklist Walk
each room and look at every window from the inside: check for fog or haze between panes that doesn't wipe away, look for mineral deposits (white or gray streaks between the panes), inspect frame condition for peeling paint or water stains, check that weatherstripping is intact, and test that hardware operates smoothly. Walk the perimeter of your home: check the caulk line where the window frame meets the siding, look for gaps or rust in the metal flashing above windows, check for soft or spongy wood frames, and make sure weep holes at the bottom of frames are clear of debris.
Prioritizing Repairs Broken glass and water infiltration or mold require immediate attention. Persistent fog (failed seals) should be addressed within 1 month. Morning-only fog (early stage) can wait up to 3 months. Cosmetic frame issues should be addressed before winter.
