It can be, it generally depends on the age of the home and windows, as well as the type of windows you have in your home. The level of humidity your home is set to during the very cold spells also plays a huge role. Not many people are educated on this. We can educate you!

Is it normal to have condensation on my windows in the winter?

This is quite prevalent this time of year here in Calgary with our varying climate. We get a lot of temperature fluctuations, especially in the winter with our chinooks This causes snow and ice to melt during the days when it warms, but due to the temperature drop the water freezes again overnight. This freeze/thaw cycle over a period of time causes condensation, freezing, ano melting all contributing to moisture in attics and in walls, this generally appears around bath fans and pot lights. There are ways to help mitigate this depending on your home and its age, a professional contractor can inform you of these and help keep your home dry.

Cost plus billing is a more transparent way of charging for a job that allows for more flexibility during the renovation or building process. The contractor keeps track of all expenses and invoices the client as they come in, adding their management fee to the total.
