Windows may need to be repaired for numerous reasons. The glass panes in your window may be cracked or shattered. The frame around your window may be bent or rotted. The seal between the frame and glass may be wearing thin. Or fog and condensation may be developing on or between the glass panes on your window. Window repair can range in price, depending on many different factors. Here are a few of the factors that affect the price you will pay for window repair. 

What Materials Your Window is Composed Of

One factor that has a huge effect on the price that you will pay to have a window repaired is what materials your window is made from. As a general rule of thumb, windows with an aluminum frame and single glass panes are cheaper to repair than windows with wood frames, double pane glass, or specialty glass products. 

What Types of Damage Needs to Be Repaired

Another factor that can affect the price you are quoted for window repair is what type of window damage needs to be repaired. For example, resealing or caulking windows is a quick and easy fix. This will generally cost much less than trying to remove fog or condensation build-up between a double pane window. The more extensive and time-consuming the repair is, the more it will cost you. 

The Condition of the Window and Frame

The final factor that will affect the price of a window repair is the overall condition of the window and frame. If a glass pane is cracked or shattered, you may think that you just need the pane of glass replaced. However, if your window and frame are otherwise damaged, it may not be that simple. Repairs may first need to be made to the frame to ensure the pane of glass will properly fit inside of it and function. If your window is in poor overall condition, additional repairs may be needed. 

If a window is broken or is in need of repair, the materials your window are composed of, the types of damage that your window has sustained and the general condition of the window, seal, and frame can all affect the price that you will pay to have repairs made. Contact window repair services to get estimates before signing a contract to have repairs made to your window. This will help you find a fair and reasonable price for the work that needs to be done to your windows.
