How Windows and Doors Wear Out in Flowood
- Seal failure: a fogged or hazy look between panes means the insulating gas has escaped and moisture got in.
- Rot at the sill: years of rain hitting a poorly flashed sill turn wood soft and spongy.
- Air leaks: shrunken weatherstripping and gaps around frames let humid air in and cooled air out.
- Hardware wear: locks that do not engage and sashes that will not stay open are safety issues as well as annoyances.
Storm Damage and Your Insurance Claim
Hail, wind-blown debris and falling limbs can crack glass, dent frames and knock doors out of alignment. After a storm, we inspect each opening, photograph the damage, take measurements and write up what needs replacing. You can share that documentation with your insurer, and we are glad to talk with your adjuster. We cannot promise what a policy will cover, but good records make the conversation much easier.

- Product selection, including ENERGY STAR options rated for our climate.
