As temperatures begin to drop across Dickinson, Belfield, Killdeer, Bowman, and Bismarck, now is the ideal time to take a close look at your home’s windows and doors. At Simons Homes, we’ve helped North Dakota homeowners upgrade their windows and doors for more than 40 years, and fall is consistently one of the best seasons to get it done before winter arrives.
Replacing windows and doors in the fall gives your new installation time to seal and settle before the coldest months hit. It also means you’ll be ready to handle sub-zero temperatures, high winds, and heavy snow with a tighter, more energy-efficient building envelope — rather than discovering drafts and leaks in the middle of January. Cooler, more moderate fall temperatures also make for better installation conditions overall. Caulking, foam sealants, and weatherstripping cure more reliably in mild weather than in the depths of winter, which means a fall installation is often a higher-quality installation from day one.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth having your windows and doors assessed before the snow flies. Small issues that seem minor in October can turn into much bigger, more expensive problems once freezing temperatures and heavy snow loads set in.
New, properly installed windows and doors do more than improve curb appeal. They reduce heat loss, cut down on energy costs, and help protect your home’s interior from moisture damage during North Dakota’s harshest months. Modern options also offer improved insulation ratings designed specifically for extreme climates like ours, including multi-pane glass, low-E coatings, and durable frame materials that resist warping in temperature swings from well below zero to summer heat.
Beyond comfort and efficiency, updated windows and doors also add real value to your home. Energy-efficient upgrades are consistently one of the most attractive features to future buyers, and a well-sealed home is simply more pleasant to live in — no cold spots near the walls, no drafts sneaking in around the front door, and a noticeably quieter interior during high winds.
Every home is a little different, which is why we start with an on-site assessment to understand your current windows and doors, your goals, and your budget. From there, we help you choose materials and styles that fit both your home’s design and North Dakota’s demanding climate — whether that’s classic double-hung windows, energy-efficient casement styles, or a new entry door built to handle heavy use and harsh weather. Once materials are selected, our team handles the full installation, paying close attention to flashing, insulation, and air sealing at every opening, since a poor installation can undo even the best materials.
As a family-owned business based in Dickinson, Simons Homes understands exactly what our winters demand from a home’s exterior. Ben and Mason Simons and their team handle every window and door installation with careful attention to proper sealing, flashing, and insulation, ensuring your home stays comfortable and efficient all season long.
