Nothing can ruin a view more than a crack, gap, or damaged glass. It not only obstructs the scenery but also compromises the functionality and energy efficiency of the entire window. Whether you have a small crack or a larger gap, such issues should be promptly addressed to avoid escalating into an extensive repair job involving the entire structure.
The experts at Mr. Handyman can repair a wide range of different types of windows and damage, including:
- Single-Hung and Double-Hung Windows: These classic styles require precise repairs to ensure their smooth operation. Without proper maintenance, the sashes may become difficult to open and close, compromising the functionality of the unit.
- Single-Pane and Double-Pane Windows: Single-pane glass units have one glass layer, offer limited insulation, and are often installed in your home’s interior today. A double-pane glass unit contains two layers separated by insulating gas and provides improved insulation compared to single-pane varieties. They are more energy-efficient and can help reduce heating and cooling costs in your home.
