How to Repair a Window at My Home

Windows are the best way to let light into your home. They also allow you to see what’s going on outside without having to stand up and look out the window. Unfortunately, windows are one of those things that require a lot of maintenance if they’re going to last for years or decades. It’s important to learn how to repair a window, because otherwise the natural wear and tear will catch up with you. Home window repair Indianapolis will guide you through the process.

In general, you want any hole that is larger than an inch or two plug ASAP before it gets bigger, but there are other things as well. If the bottom of the frame has rusted metal showing through (or if water pools around them), then they should be replaced entirely—especially if it’s not just one window.

Cracked glass should be fixed or replaced as needed, but you’ll need to call a professional for that because while it’s possible for someone who is familiar with how windows work and the safety precautions involved to fix cracks themselves, they will have better results if they’re already trained in certain aspects of doing so.

If your window got hit by a branch and you can’t open it or the lock is jammed, don’t be afraid to try your hand at repair. You’ll need something that will work as an anchor on one side of the window: a piece of wood or metal scrap works great for this. Then use rope (you might not have any handy) or wire from around the house to tie them together—unless you happen to have some leftover ropes in which case they’re perfect material! From there, stick a long object through the top part of the frame so you can reach inside with both hands if needed while standing safely outside and see what’s going on.
