As a homeowner, the glass replacement process may appear scary and daunting at first, but it's simple and effective when done safely. Safety is key when it comes to glass repairs as broken glass can be very dangerous when not handled properly, so it's recommended the homeowner finds a professional to complete the work.
When the pro gets started, they will remove the old glass pane from the window.
Then, they clean up the edges that have been caulked and sealed so new caulking can be applied. This caulk is important to keep the elements out of the building, so proper installation on a thoroughly cleaned surface is a must.
After cleaning, the pro installs the new window pane with a fresh layer of caulking on both sides of the window. This new window pane has been cut to the size of the opening, ensuring a proper fit so no air, water, or dirt can get through. Finally, the pro cleans up the job and inspects their work to ensure all fits as intended.
