Repair or Replace?

When a window breaks, people often think that the only way to fix it is to replace the entire unit; however, if the damage is not that severe, it can simply be repaired. Repairing a window can save a lot of money compared to a full replacement, so it’s important to check the damage of the window before deciding whether to repair it or replace it.

It is very important to fix a broken window as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse. If the damage is just a simple chip, scratch, or small crack and doesn’t pose immediate danger, a simple repair is enough. If a large section of the glass is broken, or a crack runs all the way from one side of the window to the other, it should be replaced immediately. Identifying whether the window needs to be repaired or replaced is very important when it comes to the safety and security of your home.

If a window isn’t necessarily broken, but instead foggy, a simple repair could do the trick. Rather than replacing the entire unit, it can be more cost effective to replace just the glass component. With new state of the art parts such as spacers, adhesive, sealant, and desiccant, Baystate can repair failed insulated glass. A typical repair only takes about two days or less, and can save you a lot more money rather than replacing the entire unit.
