Home Window Repair & Replacement – Not a DIY Project

When it comes to repairing one of the most complex building components in a home, it is worth the money you spend to have the work done by professionals.

Licensed glaziers are masters of their craft with the skills, knowledge and experience with glass, window and door components to get your home windows repaired or replaced correctly.

Windows - Complex Building Components

Windows are one of the most complex building components in a home, and at several hundred dollars or more each, also among the most expensive. Investing in quality windows now will save you later.

The Value of Honest and Reputable Service

One of the most important aspects of shopping for home window glass replacement is to choose the right contractor.  In order to get the service and quality you deserve, you should find a glazing contractor who will measure for the correct size, recommend the correct type of replacement windows for your home, install them properly, and warranty their work.

Dual Pane Window Spacers

The panes of glass in an insulating unit must be kept apart at the appropriate distance by spacers. In addition to keeping the glass panes separated, the spacer system serves a number of other functions:

• Accommodate stress induced by thermal expansion and pressure differences;

• Provides a moisture barrier that prevents passage of water or water vapor that would fog the unit;

• Provides a gas-tight seal that prevents the loss of any special low-conductance gas in the air space;

• Creates an insulating barrier that reduces the formation of interior condensation at the edge 

Foggy Window Repair: Is It Worth The Money?

Insulating glass is created by bonding two panes of glass together along their perimeter while maintaining a (usually) 1/2- to 3/4-in. space between them.

Insulating glass in windows and doors has to put up with a lot of abuse. The seals have to withstand slamming and banging. They have to be flexible enough to allow the panes to contract in cold weather and expand in hot. The seals can’t stiffen and become brittle in the cold or soften and ooze when it’s warm. They have to stand up to wind, hail, rain, damaging ultraviolet rays, age and atmospheric pressure changes.

Integrity in Business

Integrity is doing what a company says they are going to do: what they say, what they do, and what they are obligated to do. Companies that are trusted are believed to have great integrity.

How a company gains integrity and what they do to attain their customer's confidence also defines their trustworthiness.

What Is A Glazier?

A glazier is a construction tradesperson who selects, cuts, installs, replaces, and removes residential, commercial, and artistic glass. Glaziers also install shower enclosures, mirrors and glass walls.

Glazing, which derives from the Middle English for 'glass', is a part of a wall or window, made of glass.

Expect More Value For Your Dollar

Prices for services and the costs of materials have risen over the past decade, and something that has not kept up with the rise is customer service. The attitude of expectation and entitlement by retailers, vendors and contractors has worn out its welcome with today's consumers.

Why You Should Use A Licensed Window Replacement Contractor

It is in the best interest of homeowners and licensed contractors to protect consumers from poor and unsafe work by unlicensed contractors.  Always hire a licensed contractor, even if you think you can save a few dollars by accepting an unlicensed contractor's offer.

When is Safety Glass Required for Home Windows?

When replacing glass windows, there are building codes and standards that must be met. One of those codes is when the use of tempered or safety glass is required.
