Lessons in Home Ownership: When the Kids Break a Window

November 14, 2023 by collegetown

“Looking back at what my parents went through raising four kids, clearly they were saints,” Maria said. “My kid breaks one window and I’m so stressed out about it it’s ridiculous. Who do you call for a broken window? Is this something I’m supposed to be able to fix myself? I’ve looked at YouTube videos with the glass cutter and the putty and I’m not really a crafty person, you know? What is the simplest way to get a broken window fixed?”

Is Window Repair a DIY Job?

You may remember your parents or grandparents fixing broken windows. It’s important to understand that the windows in your home now are likely very different than what was in their homes then. Energy efficient modern windows have several panes of glass and need to be sealed perfectly in order to work. Back in the day, most windows were single pane glass and homes tended to be draftier.

So to answer the question is window repair a DIY job, in most cases, probably not. It’s faster and easier to have the local glass service do the repair. Literally the experts on window glass repair, they can provide you with glass that’s an exact match to what was in the window, and install it so the window works exactly as it should.

Important money saving tip! When you’re looking for someone to fix your broken window, it’s important to be clear you want window repair, not window replacement. Window repair is for situations where the glass is the only part of the window that has been damaged – the window sill and frame are fine as they are. This is typically the situation when a ball goes through the window, for example. Window replacement involves replacing the entire window unit, including frame, sill, and glass. This is the more expensive option by far, with window repair being much more affordable.
