A Short-Term Fix vs Permanent Replacement of Damaged Windows

If your windows are fogging up and leaking cold air into your home, it’s time to take swift, decisive action. What kind of company do you hire to perform window repairs? When is it better to opt for window replacement? Home Pro Exteriors, Inc., the area’s premier window & roof repair company, helps you decide.

Hiring a Handyman for a Short-Term Fix

Band-Aid solutions for window problems usually lead to recurring issues, repetitive repairs and more expenses down the line. Replacing the glass or parts of the frame doesn’t always fix the underlying problem. Still, you can hire a handyman to perform a short-term fix while you save money for a window replacement. There are some projects that a handyman may not have the license to do so check with your local licensing agency to see if your handyman has the license for window repairs.

Replacement Lasts Longer

When you’re able to, replace windows at first sight of disrepair, malfunction, or recurring issues. A window or roof replacement by a factory-certified contractor will cost a lot more than a repair. Nonetheless, you’re guaranteed to not spend any more money on the window for 10 years or more. Repairs aren’t usually guaranteed for more than five years, and often don’t last more than one year. A remodeling contractor and a handyman are actually the same when it comes to ability. Where they usually differ is the size and the scope of the work that they perform.

Hiring a Handyman or Contractor

Before hiring a handyman or contractor, interview several candidates for the job. Check for references to determine their reputability. Be wary of handymen that try to ask for full payment before doing any work. Ask for a written agreement that details the job, the cost, and the payment schedule.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
