How to Repair Windows in Older Homes with Custom Solutions
Anytime youāre dealing with customized windows in your home, youāll need custom window solutions when it comes to repairs. Trying to get a company solely focused on modern windows that cannot adapt to custom demands will often result in a recommendation for replacement instead.
At Long Beach Window Company, we want to do what is suitable for your property. We work closely with clients from all eras of homes to ensure a fully reliable repair situation. Here are some of the ways we help your custom windows.
Double Check Codes & Regulations First and foremost, you want to check local building codes and HOA regulations. Being āgrandfatheredā into a clause due to the age of your property may not be enough anymore. There are plenty of codes requiring you to update to energy-efficient windows with certain gasses in between multiple panes. We can help you navigate this situation by offering advice based on all the local Long Beach homes weāve worked on in the area.
Talk with Local Historians/Clubs Every town in our area has some form of historian or local historical society. They can offer fantastic insight into certain types of windows that would have been common for the age your home was first constructed. That insight is valuable as it directs how we conduct a repair so that all the original parts can be maintained for a longer period, effectively extending the lifespan of your property.
Focus on Details and Learned Experience We are not a āquantity-basedā business. Unlike many national providers, we donāt base success on the number of older windows or customized solutions we repair. Our goal is to provide the best possible service that grows our reputation for excellence and meets client satisfaction levels. That is best achieved by focusing on the project at hand, showcasing the details that will matter in the long run, and using our wealth of experience to discuss how to maintain and proactively repair windows before looking at replacement.
Look for Older Photos and Customer Needs Custom home windows are based on the unique styles and needs of clients. Even in a historical property, youāre likely to find customized windows based on the size, shape, or type of materials being used. While we do our best to preserve these customized windows, we also listen closely to client needs so the final outcome meets current expectations about comfort, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and maintenance.
Use Premium Materials as Close to Original as Possible It is a real challenge to find original parts for many customized windows. These often require tailored woodwork or metal pieces that only a team like ours can provide. We do our very best to locate the parts and pieces as close to the original setting as possible so the historical accuracy and integrity of your windows are preserved for as long as possible.
Take the Right Amount of Time Needed Finally, we take our time. We offer a 2 year guarantee on all our work because we know the proper amount of focus and time has been spent repairing your custom windows. Otherwise, weāll come back and make additional repairs at no cost to our clients. That is how confident we are we are taking our time on each project.
