Condo Window & Sliding Glass Door Retrofit Evaluations

The end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season is here and for the most part, the dry season is upon us in Florida. Many common interest ownership associations will be evaluating their buildings to plan for any capital projects in the upcoming year like retrofitting or replacing existing windows and sliding glass doors.

Often, problematic water intrusion issues will be incorrectly attributed to window systems rather than issues related to flashing failures or interface deficiencies.

Recon Independent Assessments can provide water intrusion investigations for a reasonable cost to help determine the proper course of action to resolve leaks. Knowing the right course can save tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds, so invest in having professionals conduct a forensic testing and evaluation of the envelope prior to jumping into a full retrofit project.
