A quick fall refresh goes a long way. Taking a little time now to clean and inspect your Porch Windows will keep them looking great and sliding smoothly through every season. Here’s a simple checklist to follow:
Take a walk around your porch and look for anything out of the ordinary.
To remove sashes for cleaning: slide the sash to the left and pull out on the right side.
To replace: set the sash into the left track, push it fully to the left, and then slide it into the right track. Make sure you’re in the same track on both sides before letting go.
Important: Keep all the sashes for each window together. They can go back in any order, but they need to stay with the correct window frame.
If you’re local to the Twin Cities, our team can also replace the damaged vinyl in your sash(s) for you — just start with a service request through the same page.
💡 A Note for Our Customers No matter when you purchased your porch windows from us, your warranty coverage continues. If you ever need help, the best place to start is with a request through our Porch Windows Direct Service Page.

When reinstalling your sashes, always snap the top sash into the top track.
This locks everything in place and keeps your porch snug and secure for the winter season.
While you’re at it, check that screws are snug and give your door hinges a drop of oil if needed — a little tune-up now helps everything run smoothly later.
