Your windows are an important feature of your house. They not only add to its exterior and interior aesthetic appeal, but they also provide natural lighting for your indoor areas. Windows keep the cold or heat out during the winters or summers, respectively. They also keep bugs out and allow fresh air to circulate. When they start to fail, whether in terms of performance or operation, or even if it’s a case of broken or cracked glass, it’s in your best interests to schedule residential window repair services right away.
Broken or Cracked Glass
Replacing glass in a residential window can be extremely simple or frustratingly difficult. It can even dangerous if it isn’t performed by a professional. It could be as easy as removing the snap-in glass stops, disposing of the old glass, measuring for new glass, heading to the local hardware store for a replacement, and of course installing the new glass into the opening. It could also be as difficult as slicing your body parts with a sharp, broken piece of glass, or buying a sheet of cut glass that you can’t use because you incorrectly recorded the dimensions. If, however, you get help from professional residential window repair services, you can be assured that the job will be done safely, quickly, and at a reasonable cost.
Whole Window Replacement
Perhaps your windows are old, outdated, inefficient, or just in need of replacement with a more modern, higher performance, new window. If that’s the case, think of the energy you could save, given that approximately 70% of the energy inefficiency in your house is the result of poorly performing windows. Replacing a window isn’t particularly difficult, but rather than risking damage to your walls, flashings, or new windows; it’s best to have a professional repairman facilitate the replacement. You also want to be able to trust that the window was properly sealed to prohibit air and water infiltration, so try calling the experts at Westside Glass, Inc.
