Open the windows and doors. High humidity is often caused by a hyperventilation or poor air circulation. Opening a window or door will change this.
Turn down the heat. Keeping your home cooler will reduce the temperature difference between the air and the glass. Try to keep the temperature between 66 to 68 degrees.
Minimize your cooking times and turn on a fan when cooking.
Turn on the exhaust fan in your bathroom when showering and take shorter showers with cooler water.
Check that your clothes dryer is properly vented to the outside and not the attic. Try to make the vent ducts as short as possible and seal them with duct tape or caulk to ensure that the moisture leaves the house.
Turn a fan onto the window to evaporate the liquid and put it back into the air. Of course, this will only work as long as the fan is turned on.
Cover windows with plastic or interior storm windows. This will provide a layer between the moist warm air and the cold surface.
Long Term Solutions
Install exhaust fans in your bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room. If possible, install a timer that will keep the fan running for 15 to 20 minutes after you shower to remove any excess moisture.
Invest in a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers are great additions to bathrooms and basements where humidity levels are highest.
Reduce the number of plants and aquariums in your home—both add water to the air. If possible, water your plants less often.
Excellent work!! I had the glass in my patio door replaced because it had moisture in between the glass panes and started to have a gray look. The two gentlemen that came out and did the installation were very professional and on schedule. They took the door off, removed the old glass and cleaned out all the old compound. They also made sure that it was all cleared out before installing the new glass and new compound. Don’t let other companies tell you, you need a whole new door… that’s not true…. I am so happy I found Ardmor… my door looks brand new….and for a fraction of what a new door would cost… Thank you Ardmor your works speaks for itself…
This is the first time I have engaged Ardmor to fix some windows including replacing foggy glasses. The tech person came home to provide estimate and subsequent to approve the contract, they were able to schedule the work timely. People are professional and did a great and clean job. I consider it a bit pricey side but a great, clean, timely and professional job.
This is a great company to do business with. They are upfront and transparent with their pricing and services. The technicians worked on our project were absolutely knowledgeable and skillful. They did an outstanding job repairing my window.
🏆 Alex was fantastic! He was so considerate, personable, and very respectful of my home. The work was done efficiently, thoroughly, and without any mess or noise. 🤫 My new replacement window sash matches perfectly with the other windows!✨ A wonderful experience. 💪Alex is a true professional with great communication skills.. if I ran a business I would even try to hire Alex away from Ardmor! 🙏Thank you!!
Thank ARDMOR for the outstanding service they provided in replacing my window. Their staff’s professionalism, efficiency, and high-quality work exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciate their assistance in cleaning up the broken glass. The price they charged is fair and reasonable. I highly recommend their services!
The Ardmor team did a fantastic job replacing our old windows with new Advanced Window Corporation windows! The installation crew was amazingly quick and the job site was immaculate after installation. The Advanced windows have been amazing this winter - a nice snug fit that really keeps the drafts out!
Contracted with Ardmor to replace cracked glazing of two metal-frame basement windows dating from 1960. The old glazing putty was like cement, so it was not something I was comfortable doing myself. The work was done quickly and efficiently and at what I thought was a fair price. Cleanup was thorough. We were highly satisfied with the job.
Job well done. One screen for window was not of the appropriate size, but then they asked us not to make payment until it was custom made and fixed. Very professional work. New windows cost thousands, but ARDMOR fixed and repaired old ones with fraction of the cost otherwise we would have paid. Very happy with their service.
We hired Ardmor to replace glass in some Anderson windows that had failed seals in our home. They were prompt and professional every step of the process. Their pricing was competitive, their quotes were clear and concise outlining every detail including warranty. Their installation team was prompt, courteous and very careful to keep the work areas clean. I highly recommend them.
Every bit of the process was painless. Our salesperson, Todd, did a great job of explaining the different windows and why we should go with one over another. The ordering times was only about a month, and the two guys that did the install were very professional and got the job done in a few hours. They cleaned up very well we they were done. Would definitely use again!!
They were very efficient and went above and beyond. Contacted me as soon as the parts came in. Came out the very next day. Promptly on time. Finished the work plus a little extra(thank you so much). Highly recommend.
The workmanship was great, and my window looks like it was never damaged. This would have originally been a 3 star review due to the technician showing up 90 minutes without even a call, however after contacting the main office and lodging a complaint, the matter was rectified in less than a few hours. I would recommend this company for window repair/replacement.
Armor did a fabulous job with my front door replacement. The planning process, scheduling, and installation were all very smooth. The customer service was outstanding throughout. The team who did the installation went above and beyond. I would absolutely use them again for future projects!
I had 2 screen doors and 1 basement exterior+screen door replaced by Ardmor. The basement door was an odd size and was pretty drafty, but Ardmor did a great job replacing it and it's been a noticeable difference in temperature. They aren't the cheapest, but I truly feel I got what I paid for.
We don't have enough positive things to say about working with Ardmor on this project. We bought an older house recently, and the windows were in really bad shape. The actual windows were fine, but the window frames themselves had been subjected to years of water damage and rot. Other window companies we contacted only cared about trying to sell us new windows (which we didn't need) and would not address our actual issue, which were the frames.Thankfully we found Ardmor and the work they performed was absolutely amazing. We are SO pleased with how our windows turned out and the sheer quality of work that was performed. The workers were punctual, professional, and explained everything as they went along. They cleaned up after themselves each day and we always knew what time they would be there the next day. This was a tricky custom job on very old windows and they look absolutely fantastic. If you want a company that is beyond professional with truly high-quality work, definitely reach out to Ardmor. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!
We recently hired Ardmor to repair two windows in our home, and now they work as good as new!The whole process, from scheduling the estimate to the final repair, was smooth and pleasant. Initially, an estimate was done, and then new parts needed to be ordered. The cost was higher than expected, but we wanted to be able to open and close our windows effortlessly again.From start to finish took a week or so, the staff was friendly and personable throughout the process. The Ardmor team did a great job, so we're more than satisfied with the outcome.
Bay window repair was completed perfectly. Courteous and professional staff, from the office personnel to the technicians. Exceptional price too. Would highly recommend this company for any window or door repairs/replacements
I absolutely love my new windows. I didn't know you can love windows but now I know it's possible. What I love almost as much as my new windows is how easy and professional installation went. It felt like luxury construction service.Everyone came and they were ready to work. My project was riddled with complexity. The crew discussed how best to approach the project. Then they executed flawlessly like a swarm of specialized bees. I will never have anyone else install my windows. The experience with ardmor is too good.Also one more point. These are not typical windows. They are Oknaplast windows. They came from Poland and block noise. They are tilt and turn style.The installation is tricky and specialized. They order and install which makes the experience dramatically better than doing it yourself.Genuine thank you for delivering on your promise.
Ardmor did an OUTSTANDING job on our windows. We had a tenant who destroyed four windows, plus the window frames. Ardmor sent an estimator over who showed up precisely on time. The windows and materials were CUSTOM-PRODUCED as all the windows were of different sizes. On the day the work was done they sent over two separate crews, which completed the work in around six hours. The workers did both the glass work and made extensive carpentry repairs. The crews left the space MUCH CLEANER than they found it. Workers were courteous and professional. Note: Ardmor is not cheap and they can't fix your custom windows "tomorrow." Nobody can do that. But having deal with two other Phildelphia-area companies, I can say unequivocally that Ardmor was the absolute best. I highly recommend Ardmor for any window or related repair work.
Armor windows & doors did an excellent job repairing our wood sash windows. Their servicemen were prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable. They even went above and beyond with a no-cost follow-up repair for a minor adjustment to the window. We highly recommend them for your door and window needs!
Very satisfied with the repair results. Ardmor tech Alex arrived within the appointment window and was very professional and was able to satisfy my expectations. Great job by Alex!
They have some of the best people over there who come in for inspection, measurement and order the parts. It takes about 3 weeks for everything to close out . Thanks Alex for the install.
Great company with good customer service--Alex handled our instillation and he did a great job, made everything super easy and quick, he was great and super nice.
Alex came to my home to fix my Andersen door. He was quick , thorough and totally professional. I would definitely would ask for him again if I needed extra work on my door. Very professional.
They showed up on time to measure window. Window came in pretty fast. Once window arrived they scheduled me extremely fast and installation was done clean and fast. Great service from start to finish
We had our 70+ year old leaky and creaky french doors to the patio replaced. The appraiser was professional and clear. The price was fair (we got 3 bids), and the 3-person installation crew were amazing. Worked all day without the radio...hard-working and careful, polite and of course professional. I would definitely recommend Ardmor and hope to have the opportunity to do so soon.
We moved into a new home in a historic district of Philly and the windows were in desperate need of replacement. Over the home's more than 100 years, previous owners had removed the original wood windows, altered window opening sizes and replaced them with single pane aluminum windows. We could feel the wind inside! Ardmor had replaced all the windows at my previous home and so I knew just who to call. This was a tricky job because it required working with the Philadelphia Historical Commission (PHC) to find windows that met their requirements to look as close to the original windows as possible. The team at Ardmor recommended Marvin Elevate windows and we love them! They worked on drawings and got them approved by the PHC, no easy task! The installers were on time, courteous, and extremely tidy and thorough. Even my neighbors commented on how diligent they were with caulking and properly flashing the windows. They look great and help the home look the way it used to. We could not be more pleased with the whole process and recommend them wholeheartedly!
