Home renovation projects can be tricky, especially if you're dealing with a broken window. How do you know if it's a problem that requires a complete replacement or a minor fix? Owner William Kyrtopoulos and the home remodeling experts at B & D Home Improvement have been serving North Haven residents since 1976. In addition to window repairs, they specialize in home additions, kitchen remodels, and bathroom renovations.

Unfortunately, a broken window is often too complex an issue for the average homeowner to tackle. That's because window damage isn't simply limited to cracked glass. Other issues that may affect windows include rotting wooden frames and sills, damaged seals, and drafts. In many of these cases, you’ll need a window repair professional to determine the true extent of the damage.

Usually, it's smarter and more cost effective to simply repair the window as opposed to replacing it. For example, a rotten wooden frame can be quite expensive to replace because it involves extracting the entire window and fixing the wood. Often, this is the financial equivalent of replacing the window entirely. Always check with a professional to see if they can repair the issue before springing for a new window.

Additionally, it’s important to call a pro instead of trying to fix the window yourself. A skilled home improvement contractor can make quick work of many common window repair issues. A broken seal is a relatively painless fix that involves replacing the existing sash. A window that's slightly sluggish and difficult to open and close can be repaired with some light painting and sanding work. Similarly, a window with a draft can easily be sealed instead of completely replaced.

Whether you require window repairs or a full replacement, the home remodeling experts at B & D Home Improvement will handle the job with skill and precision. For more information or to get started on your project today, visit their website or call (203) 239-1974.
