Residential Window Repair Advice
Mr. Handyman is well adept at keeping your windows in tip-top condition. We have tackled many different brands and settings. From the oversized and larger windows of homes with amazing vistas, to the smaller windows usually located in your smaller rooms, residential window repair and window installation are a couple of our most popular services. When evaluating your window needs, be sure to look at the following:
- Check for rotting wood. To check for wood rot, use a screwdriver. If the screwdriver goes into the wood easily, then it's likely the window frame that needs to be replaced. Cracked window caulking also needs to be inspected regularly.
- Replace caulk. Heat is a common culprit for dried out and cracking caulk. Prevent water and air leaks by applying exterior caulk on windows every six months.
- Improve energy efficiency. When it comes time to replace your home's windows, consider energy efficient ones.
