    “Shape Up or Ship Out”? Get a Window Damage Inspection

    Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco

     

    Windows give us a peek at what’s outside our homes while providing us with protection from the elements. Professional window contractors in San Francisco know well the importance of properly installed windows to a home and its occupants. A good window should be able to protect against the weather, give adequate lighting and provide proper ventilation. If your windows do not, then it’s probably time to decide whether they need repairing or replacing.

    Seek the help of window experts for a hassle-free damage inspection. A professional will be able to tell what the damage is and how to get to the root of the problem. Here are a few signs that a window is damaged.

    • It is difficult to open or close. If you find it tough to open or close your window, check the screws. A small object might be stuck in the track, obstructing its operation. If you find nothing, then the window is probably damaged.

    • You see peeling paint. Discoloration and peeling paint are signs of a damaged window. They might be precursors to more serious damage in the window which needs to be checked by a professional. It’s possible that the window can no longer handle the moisture inside as well as it used to, affecting the exterior paint. If left untreated, this can result in mold growth.

    • It creaks when moved. Just like windows that are difficult to open or close, a creaking window also could be damaged. This might be due to foreign elements in the window. While you’re at it, check for cracks and leaks. These are also signs of window damage.

    • Check furniture near the window area for damage. If they show signs of discoloration, your window probably does not effectively shut out harmful ultraviolet rays.

    Some types of damage cannot be easily found by untrained eyes and require those of an expert. Seek the help of professional San Francisco window companies to inspect the extent of damage so they can provide you recommendations that suit your windows’ needs.
