Window Repair & Window Replacement
When you find yourself noticing it may be time for some new windows. You might start to wonder whether your home is in need of glass repair, or full window replacement. To many homeowners they might sound like the same thing. Recently while on a service call, a future Maverick Windows customer asked one of our Foreman the following question, “If my home windows are made of glass, isn’t replacing the glass the same as window replacement?” While it may seem that way, the answer is no.
Window replacement differs from glass repair in a variety of ways. So today, the Maverick Windows research team is taking some time to explore the following topic: the difference between window replacement & glass repair
Window Glass Replacement
Glass repair is a common fix for many homeowners in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex, as well as The Greater Houston Area largely in part to direct issues with broken glass. Often times, homeowners will fall victim to accidents outside of their control that will result in glass breakage. Sometimes neighborhood kids may play sports in the street. In the event a ball comes through the window and breaks a pane of glass, or an acorn falls from a tree in the yard and chips the glass. The homeowner may seek glass repair.
Companies like the Glass Guru, or Doctor Glass, are known for their ability to repair glass. This service is cheaper than replacing the entire frame. Additionally, it will increase the safety of your home to eliminate broken window glass. Broken glass can create an opportunity of unwanted entry from the elements. It also can create safety issues for your home.
Oftentimes homeowners will notice condensation in between the panes of their window glass. At that time, they think it is time for window repair. They will then schedule an appointment with a window replacement company. The window supplier will provide an estimate. Upon receiving the quote, homeowners may seek other options and opinions.
While glass repair is most certainly a cheaper option, it is not the most effective. Oftentimes only replacing the glass on your home’s windows can be likened to putting a band-aid on a wound in need of stitches. If next to your body, your home is your most sacred temple. It only makes sense to treat your home’s structural ailments with the same effectiveness you would your body.
