Window replacement in Kansas City
Hail storms are part of life for windows in Kansas City. On April 10, 2001, a storm along Missouri's I-70 corridor dropped hail up to 3 inches across and did major damage in the Kansas City area. The state climate summaries for Missouri and Kansas both call severe thunderstorms with hail common. If a storm cracks a pane or splits a sash, have someone check whether the frame itself is sound before you price a whole new unit.
The state line runs right through the metro, and on energy rules both states take the same approach. Neither Missouri nor Kansas enforces a statewide residential energy code. Each city or county adopts its own, so the rules for new windows depend on the town you live in, on either side.
Summers ask a lot of glass here. The airport averages about 36 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter, and the Energy Department's county list puts Jackson County in climate zone 4, the mixed-humid zone. Glass that blocks summer sun matters here along with glass that holds in winter heat.
In Kansas City, Missouri, more than six in ten homes were built before 1980, the Census Bureau estimates.
