Window Repair vs. Replacement Saves You Thousands of Dollars
Window repair can fix foggy, drafty, difficult to open and close windows with damaged trim, sills, or sashes.
Don't call a window replacement contractor that's going to try selling you $20,000 to $40,000 in replacement windows. Kimberly Painting offers a far less expensive and intrusive solution.
An inspection of your siding, fascia, soffits, and windows is included as part of your house painting project. We'll make recommendations if repairs are needed and provide first-class carpentry services.
The Parts of a Window
1) Window Trim Repair
Window trim (also called casing) extends beyond the end of the window frame so that the window fits flush with the exterior wall.
Window trim takes a beating from the sun, rain, hail, and humidity.
You may not notice the damage or feel an urgency to maintain window trim just for appearance's sake. Window trim repair involves removing and replacing damaged pieces.
2) Window Sill Repair
The sill is the piece of trim across the bottom of the window frame. It is usually on both the inside and outside of your home.
A window sill's primary goals are to keep water out and improve energy-efficiency. They are usually sloped on the exterior to allow water to run off the window in rain or during cleaning.
It's a big project, costing hundreds of dollars, to replace a window sill as it affects the drywall and paint on interior walls.
In most cases, window sill damage is minor enough to fix. Our experienced carpenters repair window sills for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
3) Window Sash Repair
The sash is the framework that holds the glass in place. It is not a piece of trim you can easily pull on or off.
So, if a window sash is loose, stuck, or suffers other damage, you might think you'll have to replace the entire window.
Save your money! Kimberly Painting repair window sashes including fixed, double, and picture windows.
