Window Frame Repair Services

It’s possible to fix vinyl window frames depending on the extent of the damage. If a vinyl window gets warped by excess pressure or force, replacement may be the only viable option.

It’s possible to fix small chips or cracks with inexpensive repair kits. However, it’s best to contact a professional window repair service for large spider cracks, as these larger cracks can cause the window to fall apart when pressure is applied.

Yes, a cracked frame is often worth fixing. It’s best to fix a cracked frame as soon as possible to prevent further damage and to maintain good indoor air quality. Here are the types of cracks we typically see:

• Small hairline cracks: These are the least severe and can typically be treated with epoxy or wood filler.
• Larger cracks: When these cracks threaten to compromise your window’s integrity, a professional window repair or replacement service is likely your best option.
• Multiple cracks: If there are too many cracks on your window, replacement may be the best long-term solution.

Rotted window repair involves digging out compromised wood and replacing it with offcuts. This process is best handled by an experienced window repair pro who knows exactly what needs to be done.

Small cracks in a wooden window frame can be repaired with wood filler, while special adhesives can treat small cracks in vinyl windows.

Repairing a water-damaged wood window frame involves removing and sanding off the compromised portions of the frame. If the damage is too severe, window replacement is then the best option.

If the window is leaking at the frame, check the caulking for breaches, missing, or damaged caulk. If the caulk is damaged or missing, it’s possible to stop the leak by recaulking your window with latex adhesive. Provided the damage isn’t too extensive.
