A window glass replacement job is something that should be performed by a professional who is trained in this line of work. There are all kinds of things that can go wrong around a house, and if you like working with your hands and you are able to figure out what needs to be fixed, there is nothing wrong with doing most of the jobs yourself and saving a little bit of money.
However, what you do not want to try and repair is something that if you do the work incorrectly, could end up costing you way more money than it would have if you hired an expert in the first place. When it comes to window glass replacement that is precisely what we are talking about.
After you carefully remove all of the broken glass, the next thing that needs to be done is to take out all the caulking and other materials that were used to hold the window in place, without damaging the frame. Unfortunately, more than one homeowner has destroyed their window frame while attempting to do this and ended up having to buy a new.
If you got through the first part without breaking anything, the next thing you have to do is measure the space the glass goes into so you can have it cut. It goes without saying, if the figure you come up with isn’t perfect, the glass will never fit properly.
The final step in a window glass replacement job is putting the glass back into the frame. You need to make sure it fits perfectly and does not leak. While that might sound easy enough, more than one homeowner has failed to correctly waterproof their window and lived to regret it when the first major rain storm hit. Please, do yourself and your home a favor, the next time one of your windows breaks or starts leaking, call in an expert on 131 546 who will do the job properly.
