Your home’s windows are essential for keeping out rain and wind while allowing the flood of natural light into each room. Often, homeowners don’t pay attention to their window glass until it’s broken or cracked. If you need glass repair, here are a few questions to ask before hiring a repair company.

What You Should Ask a Glass Repair Company

Do I need a full replacement or a repair?

Depending on the damage to the window, you can usually repair only the glass. However, if there is significant damage to the frame or track, then you need a full replacement. If you own an older home with single-pane windows and one of them breaks, get a quote for new, energy-efficient windows throughout your entire home.

How long will a repair take?

The time it takes depends on the amount of damage. However, if it’s a simple screen or glass repair, expect a few short hours or days if all of the parts are available. Consult a professional and get a quote for the length of time needed.

Why is there condensation inside my windows?

This occurs in double-pane windows when the seal that connects the two pieces of glass fails. This could be due to improper installation or general wear and tear. Fix this as soon as possible by resealing any gaps before it worsens. If you let this problem persist, it could damage the whole window.

Will upgrading my windows save money on energy bills?

Yes. If you have single-pane windows, then you’ve likely been paying for air that escapes through the cracks. Upgrading your windows to double-pane and more energy-efficient units will result in lower bills. Over time, the savings will help pay for the windows.
