Screens and Glass Repair

Torn window screens and cracked glass make your home look unattractive, even as they make it less functional. They can even pose a security risk to your home.

That’s why Handyman Bill Can provides window glass and screen repair and replacement services. We repair screen doors, too, and for all the same reasons.

How complicated is a screen repair?

More complicated than most people think. Sometimes the problem is the frame, for example, which means the whole frame will need to be replaced, not just the screen.

Half the challenge is ensuring the screen fits correctly.

Do I need to replace an entire window if it’s cracked?

You’ll need to replace the pane, at least. Sometimes this will mean removing the broken pieces from the frame and inserting a new windowpane. Other times this could mean removing your entire window so we can take out all the old broken shards. Usually, this will happen with a larger window.

There’s no compound you can brush across a broken glass window to fix it, no trick you can employ. Minor cracks may seem like little more than a nuisance, but they’re letting air from outside into your home, increasing energy costs. They also allow moisture into your home that you’d otherwise be keeping out, which can lead to mold and mildew.

Finally, a cracked window isn’t safe: you can still cut yourself on them if you’re not careful, and the weakened structural integrity could mean it might shatter later, probably at the worst possible time.

Other Window Problems

Foggy, leaky, cold windows aren’t something to ignore. All three symptoms signify moisture is getting in somewhere, most likely around your window framing. We also see a lot of rotting and rusted drip caps (water damage, again).

You might also want to call us if your window is sticking or if it’s got problems with the locks and hinges.

We’ll come quickly and promptly. When we leave, your window will be as good as new.
