Window Replacement FAQs
Can historic window glass replacement preserve the original look?
Yes. Pros can source glass with the waviness of old panes and repair original wood sashes to keep the window's look.
How do I prepare my home for window installation services?
Move furniture, curtains, and wall hangings away from the window, and clear a path to it both inside and outside.
Is it better to repair or replace a broken window?
If the frame is sound, replacing the glass may be enough. A full replacement makes sense when the frame is damaged or several parts have failed.
Can just the glass be replaced in a double pane window?
Yes. If the frame is in good shape, the insulated glass unit can be replaced alone, which often costs less than a whole new window.
What should I do immediately after a window breaks?
Stay away from the broken glass, cover the opening from inside with plastic or cardboard if you can, then call for board-up or replacement.
