WINDOWS AND DOORS

Minor issues with windows typically refer to small problems that can be easily addressed without requiring a full window replacement. Some common examples of minor window issues include:

• Cracked or chipped glass.
• Worn-out weatherstripping.
• Broken window hardware (locks, latches, hinges, etc.).
• Caulking or sealant problems.
• Rotted wood in the window frame (limited to a small area).
• Foggy or hazy windows (in double or triple-pane windows).

These minor issues can typically be repaired without the need for a full window replacement, making them more cost-effective solutions in many cases.

Yes, in most cases we can repair a sliding glass door. The repair process depends on the issue with the door. Here are a few common problems and their solutions, so you can try yourself to save time and money:

1. Sticky Door: If your sliding glass door sticks, it's often because of dirt and debris in the track. You can clean the track using a wire brush and vacuum. If cleaning doesn't solve the problem, the rollers might need adjustment or replacement. Most sliding doors have a mechanism that allows you to adjust the height of the rollers.

2. Broken Glass: If the glass is broken, you'll need to replace the entire panel. For this, you need to remove the door from its track, take off the trim, and then remove the broken glass. It's important to wear safety gear for this task, such as gloves and safety glasses. Once the broken glass is removed, you can install a new panel, replace the trim, and rehang the door.

3. Lock Problems: If the lock is not working, you might be able to repair it by taking it apart and cleaning it. If cleaning doesn't work, you might need to replace the lock mechanism.

4. Drafts: If there's a draft coming through your door, you might need to replace the weather stripping. This is a relatively easy process and kits can be bought from most home improvement stores.

5. Broken Roller: If the roller is broken, it may need to be replaced. To do this, you will need to lift the door out from the bottom and then remove it from the track.

Remember, while many of these repairs are doable as a DIY project, some might require professional help, especially when dealing with broken glass or major components. Always prioritize safety and consider your skill level before undertaking any repair. If you're not comfortable with the task, calling WOWFIX  might be the best option.
