About Our Professional Window Repairs | Vancouver, WA

Newly repaired window in Vancouver home by Mr. Handyman

Mr. Handyman’s Vancouver window repair technicians are highly skilled and experienced in working with all types of windows. Their meticulous eye for detail can quickly detect problems that would otherwise go unnoticed. You may be paying an increased energy bill without realizing that heated furnace air is escaping through your double-pane window.

Besides problems with opening and closing, there is a wide range of other damaged windows we handle, including:

  • Rotted frames: When you have holes, gaps, and cracks in your window frame, they will allow moisture to seep through and wreak havoc on the wood. If it has no way to dry and the moisture level reaches 20%, wood rot will start to form. That is why, in the event of visible cracks, we recommend immediate window repairs. Vancouver, WA technicians at Mr. Handyman will use professional tools to run an inspection, remove any rotted timber and replace it with a new frame.
  • Fogginess: Foggy windows or interior condensation signal that the insulating properties in between the sheets are no longer effective. That is when temperature and moisture content in the air can infiltrate the structure and cause damage.
  • Chips: Not all chips are visible at first until they grow larger and indicate that you have water damage in the frames and in between the panes of glass. While small chips may be repairable, they won’t be if they have developed into large cracks.
  • Damaged drip cap: The drip cap is an L-shaped flashing that is installed above your window, designed to protect your structure from intrusive moisture. It’s not recommended to use wood-based drip caps because they’re prone to rot without regular maintenance. And plastic materials are inefficient and, over time, will fail to protect the exterior part of your window from the elements. Our Vancouver window repair professionals recommend upgrading to high-quality aluminum materials.

Double pane and triple pane units are well-insulated structures that contain either argon, krypton, or xenon gas and can last for over 15 years before refilling is needed. Regular maintenance and inspection are recommended to ensure you’re not experiencing any leakage.

FAQs About Our Window Repairs, Vancouver WA

How Much Does A Window Repair In Vancouver, WA Cost On Average?

Repairing sashes, seals, and open mechanisms is typically quick and easy for your Vancouver handyman and not expensive. However, when dealing with interior glass issues, it will be a different story. Without a detailed inspection, it is difficult for us to put a rate on repair service. We do recommend that you give us a call and describe your current situation. We may be able to give you a price estimate or an average cost guide. Or we could even arrange for a service technician to stop by for a no-obligation inspection.

How Do I Know I Need A Window Replacement Service Rather Than A Window Repair?

Vancouver, WA homeowners may not realize that their window problem has underlying issues. While it may look intact, it may no longer be efficient or serve its purpose. This is especially true when your current system is 15 years old or older. It doesn’t always take broken glass to know you have an irreparably broken window, and our skilled Vancouver handyman team is happy to help you determine this. When it is time for a replacement window, our installation crew will be at your service.

Should Windows Have A Lifetime Warranty?

Most window companies offer a limited warranty of up to five years, depending on the model and brand you choose. Higher quality IGUs (insulated glass units) sometimes even have a warranty of up to 15 years. But you must be able to prove that the window installation service was handled by a certified professional, as a lot can go wrong during the installation process. Luckily, Mr. Handyman’s Vancouver window repair technicians are also qualified installers. We work with trusted suppliers and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding warranties.

Do They Still Make Single-pane Windows?

Single panes are still being manufactured; however, they are only suitable for interior designs, like interior French doors or other decorative purposes. They are not energy efficient and should not be installed as primary windows that are in contact with the outside.
