What do I do about scuffs on my vinyl windows

The good news about vinyl windows is that there are simple ways to fix issues with them. They’re long-lasting, they don’t dent, they don’t scratch, they don’t bend, they don’t warp – in short, they’re a great option. If you find that they have scuffs, just grab a soft cloth and wet it with a mixture of water and mild soap. Then wipe down your vinyl windows. Avoid using harsh, abrasive cleaners.

What do I do if I have a crack in my window?

Unfortunately, you’ll need to contact a window company for help with a crack in a window. It’s possible that the window can be fixed with a simple glass repair. It’s also possible that the glass will need to be replaced. It all depends on how bad the crack is and now deep it runs into the frame. If it’s an extremely deep crack then you may need a new window entirely.

No matter what the situation there is one answer that’s always true: Don’t ignore a crack in your window. Even if it’s teeny tiny, it has the potential to let in bugs and to allow wind and cold air in. You can find that your home is less energy efficient due to one small crack, which can result in much higher energy bills. Note as well that ignoring a crack practically guarantees that it’s going to get worse. What may have been a simple repair could turn into the need to entirely replace the window.

Do I need to replace all my windows at the same time?

The truth is that high quality windows aren’t cheap. That said, they’re a great investment. At Progressive Insulation & Windows, we understand that replacing all your windows at the same time isn’t always in the budget. That’s why we suggest you let us come out for a free estimate. We can take a look at your windows and give you all the information you need to make the most informed decision.

In some cases we may recommend that you have one or two windows replaced and a few others repaired. If your windows are in relatively good shape but on their last few years of use, then we may recommend that you save up for a few years and replace them all at once. Whatever the situation is, you can count on our technicians to be honest and upfront. Contact us today at (800) 500-6200 for your free in-home estimate.
