5 Reasons May Is the Perfect Time to Replace Your Windows in Arkansas

If you’ve been thinking about replacing your windows, May is one of the best times of the year to do it—especially here in Arkansas. The weather is ideal, contractor schedules are still flexible, and summer’s heat is just around the corner.

At Southwest Window & Door, we’ve helped homeowners all across Little Rock, Bryant, Benton, Hot Springs, and surrounding areas get ahead of the summer rush by upgrading to energy-efficient windows in May. Here’s why now is the perfect time to schedule your replacement.

☀️ 1. Replace Windows to Beat the Summer Heat

Arkansas summers are no joke. By the time June and July hit, your HVAC system is working overtime—and inefficient windows can make it worse.

Old windows let in heat, UV rays, and humidity. Upgrading to Low-E, argon-filled double or triple-pane windowshelps:

• Reflect solar heat

• Keep indoor temps stable

• Lower your energy bills

• Reduce stress on your cooling system

✅ Installing in May means your home stays cooler and more comfortable all summer long.

📅 2. Take Advantage of Open Scheduling

By mid-to-late summer, installers are booked solid. Waiting too long can lead to:

• Delayed installation

• Fewer options on styles and colors

• Potential price increases on materials

✅ Scheduling your window replacement in May means better availability, more attention to detail, and faster turnaround times.

🌦️ 3. Perfect Weather for Installation

May in Arkansas typically offers mild temperatures and fewer rain delays than the summer. This allows for:

• Clean, efficient installations

• Better sealant curing

• Fewer complications during your project

✅ Ideal conditions = smoother installs and less disruption to your day.

💸 4. Lower Energy Bills Before They Skyrocket

You don’t have to wait until your bills spike in July. Replacing your windows now gives you immediate savings during peak cooling season.

Wincore 7700, ProVia Endure, and Andersen SmartSun® windows are built to:

• Minimize solar heat gain

• Increase energy efficiency

• Qualify for ENERGY STAR® ratings and possible tax credits

✅ The sooner you upgrade, the sooner you save—month after month.

🏠 5. Boost Curb Appeal for Summer Projects or Sale

Whether you're refreshing your home for summer or planning to sell, new windows:

• Instantly improve your home’s exterior

• Impress buyers and appraisers

• Increase perceived value

✅ Add premium curb appeal with black frames, clay or tan options, or woodgrain laminates—available with many of our Wincore and ProVia packages.
