Rhode Island Window Repair

Window Repair - When leaky or damaged windows are allowed to sit for an extended period of time, it can lead to some serious problems. Moisture can easily seep into damaged window frames, panes and sashes causing hundreds of dollars in damages as well as ruining the indoor air quality of your home due to mold. If your windows are damaged and in need of repair, don’t hesitate to call a window repair expert in your area.

References

More often than not, a license isn’t required to repair windows. That’s why references are such an important part of hiring a window repair company. When you receive a bid, always ask for at least 3-5 references to ensure your window repair expert has the history, experience and customer base to get the job done right. Follow up each reference with a phone call or a visit to the job to be certain that their past customers are happy with the work, so you can be too.

Warrantees

Many window repair experts are associated with a particular window company and brand. This means that they often carry specific warrantees on their products and labor. Some window repair companies are not backed by a specific brand and therefore cater best to older style window repairs. Always ask your potential window repairpersons if they cover your specific brand of windows with any guarantees or warrantees, and then get it in writing if they do.

Costs

General costs associated with window repairs can differ greatly between problems. Broken glass for instance is typically an easy fix and can be repaired once the broken glass pane has been measured and cut. Once the glass is ready, a repair technician will insert the new glass in less than an hour. These projects are usually charged by the square foot for materials and a fixed price for labor. Additional window repair costs are commonly performed on an hourly wage with a minimum hourly rate. Always get any payment schedules worked out in advance before you hire any widow repair company.
