Common Storm Window Issues We Address
Storm windows can have problems that affect their performance and appearance. We fix many types of damage, from broken glass to worn frames. Each problem requires specific care to restore protection and energy efficiency.
Broken or Cracked Glass
Broken or cracked glass is one of the most common issues we see. It can happen from storms, impacts, or age. Damaged glass not only looks bad but can also reduce insulation and allow drafts inside.
We replace broken panes quickly and use glass that fits perfectly for your window style. Our glass is clear and strong, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. We also check the window’s fit to make sure it seals tightly after repair.
Screen and Seal Damage
Screens and seals protect your storm windows from bugs, dust, and water. Over time, screens can tear or come loose. Seals often wear out, crack, or shrink, leading to leaks and poor insulation.
We repair or replace damaged screens to keep your home clean and pest-free. For seals, we use high-quality materials that restore airtight and watertight barriers. Proper sealing reduces energy loss and prevents moisture problems inside your windows.
Frame Warping and Corrosion
Frames are exposed to weather and can warp, bend, or corrode. Warped frames may lock or fail to close properly. Corrosion, especially on metal frames, can weaken the window's structure and cause rust stains.
We carefully inspect frames for warping and rust. Small warps can be corrected, and corroded parts are cleaned or replaced. This work improves window operation and extends the life of your storm windows. We focus on restoring strength and alignment to maintain a secure fit.
Types of Storm Windows We Repair
We work on many types of storm windows that protect your home from weather. Each type has different materials and repair needs. We focus on fixing the parts that affect durability, insulation, and appearance.
Wood Storm Windows
Wood storm windows add a classic look to any home. We repair wood frames by fixing cracks, warping, and rot. We also replace or reglaze broken glass to keep the window airtight.
Maintaining wood windows means checking for moisture damage. We can sand, repaint, or reseal the wood to stop decay. Proper repairs improve energy efficiency and extend the window’s life.
Aluminum Storm Windows
Aluminum storm windows are sturdy and need less upkeep. We handle damaged or bent frames by straightening or replacing sections. Rust spots are treated and repainted to prevent spreading.
Window locks and seals are often weak on aluminum types. We replace worn weatherstripping to keep drafts out. Our repairs keep these windows secure and easy to open and close.
Vinyl Storm Windows
Vinyl storm windows are low-maintenance and resist moisture well. We fix frame cracks and broken locks to maintain their strength. In some cases, we replace damaged glass or panels.
Since vinyl can discolor or warp in extreme heat, we check for those issues. Repairs include cleaning and resealing to improve insulation. This helps the windows stay functional and look fresh.
Preventive Maintenance for Storm Windows
We believe regular preventive maintenance is key to keeping storm windows in good shape. It helps avoid costly repairs and extends the life of your windows.
Checking windows for cracks or gaps is basic but important. We recommend inspecting seals and frames at least twice a year, especially before winter and after storms.
Cleaning your storm windows regularly prevents dirt buildup that can damage seals. Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
Lubricating moving parts like hinges and locks is part of proper care. This keeps the windows easy to open and close without damage.
If you notice fogging inside the glass or difficulty operating the window, that signals a problem needing repair. Catching issues early helps us fix them before they get worse.
Our team supports you with maintenance plans. This keeps your storm windows weatherproof and ensures good energy efficiency year-round.
