Types of Storm Windows We Repair

We fix many kinds of storm windows with care and skill. Our repairs cover different glass types, frame materials, and shapes to ensure your windows work well and look good.

Single and Double Pane Repairs

We repair both single and double pane storm windows. Single pane windows often need glass replacement or sealing because they can get cracks and leaks.

Double pane windows have two glass layers with a space filled with air or gas. These can suffer from fogging or broken seals. We fix these issues by resealing or replacing the glass to restore energy efficiency.

Our team uses proper tools and materials to handle glass safely. We also check for frame damage that can cause window problems.

Wood, Vinyl, and Aluminum Frames

Storm window frames come in wood, vinyl, and aluminum, each needing special care. Wood frames can rot or warp. We repair damaged wood by sanding, filling, and repainting to keep the frame strong and sealed.

Vinyl frames may crack or discolor from sun damage. We repair minor cracks and replace weatherstripping to keep out air and water.

Aluminum frames can bend or corrode. We straighten bent frames and treat corrosion to prevent further harm.

We match our repair techniques to each frame type to maintain window function and durability.

Custom-Shaped Storm Windows

Some storm windows have custom shapes like arches, circles, or trapezoids. These windows require precise measurements and special glass cutting.

We repair custom windows by replacing broken panes with exact fits. If frames are damaged, we carefully restore or replicate their shape.

Custom window repairs can be more complex but are important to keep the home’s style intact. Our experience ensures these unique windows get the proper care they need.

Our Storm Window Repair Process

We start by carefully checking your storm windows for damage and weaknesses. Then, we use specialized tools and methods to fix problems promptly. Finally, we verify that repairs meet high standards to ensure durability and safety.

Assessment and Inspection

We begin by inspecting each storm window thoroughly. This includes checking for cracks, broken seals, damaged frames, and worn weather stripping. We also test how well the window opens and closes.

Our team looks for signs of water damage or air leaks that reduce energy efficiency. We take precise measurements to prepare for any needed parts or glass replacements.

This step helps us identify all issues at once, so we can offer an accurate repair plan without surprises later.

Repair Techniques and Tools

We use modern tools designed for storm window repair, including glass cutters, sealant guns, and frame straighteners. Our methods depend on the type of damage.

For example, small cracks are often fixed with epoxy resin that strengthens the glass without replacing it. If seals are broken, we remove old rubber strips and install new weather stripping.

We handle frame repairs by realigning bent parts and tightening loose screws. Our work aims to restore full function and improve window insulation.

Quality Assurance Standards

After repairs, we conduct multiple checks to ensure quality. We test windows for smooth operation and confirm that seals are airtight.

We inspect all repaired areas for any signs of weakness or gaps. Additionally, we verify that materials used meet industry standards for durability and weather resistance.

Our team documents each repair and provides customers with details on maintenance to extend the life of their storm windows.

Storm Window Maintenance Tips

We recommend checking your storm windows regularly to keep them working well. Look for cracks, broken seals, or any signs of damage. Early repairs can save you money and prevent drafts.

Cleaning your storm windows often helps maintain their clarity and function. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the glass or frame.

Lubricating the tracks and hinges keeps your windows sliding smoothly. Use a silicone-based lubricant to prevent rust and wear. Check these parts every few months.

Inspect the weather stripping around your storm windows. Replace any worn or missing strips to improve insulation. Good sealing helps keep your home energy-efficient.

If you notice condensation between the panes, it could mean the seal is broken. This requires professional repair to restore the window's effectiveness. We can assist with this to avoid further damage.

We suggest scheduling a full inspection at least once a year. This helps catch hidden issues before they become big problems. Our team is ready to provide expert care and advice.
