Repairs: Windows
Why replace an entire window when you can just replace the glass? Whether you have a crack, a chip, or a broken pane in one window, or you have foggy condensation between your window panes, CRT can expertly repair or replace a single pane or the whole sash including all necessary hardware to ensure it functions correctly.
Some of the most common repairs we do are for foggy windows and balance spring replacement. A foggy window is a result of the insulating spacer around the perimeter of the glass breaking down and allowing moisture to get between the glass permanently discoloring the glass package often giving a foggy and condensation appearance. Our technicians are experienced in fixing energy efficient windows and can replace the insulated glass without having to replace the window. If your windows are not closing properly or going up and down as smoothly as they once did it is very possible that the problem is in the balance springs. Let our technicians come out and inspect the window and figure out why it’s not operating the way it should – most likely the balance springs are old and faulty and our techs can replace them on site and get your window back to opening and closing the way it was originally designed.
Before you replace, let CRT see if we can make the repairs on your window (s) at a fraction of the replacement cost.
Repairs: Exterior Doors and Sliders
Glass in and around exterior doors and sliders also has a tendency to break, crack or become damaged and can also be repaired, replaced, or upgraded to restore or create a new entry to your home without the hassle of a whole door replacement.
A poorly working or damaged exterior or sliding door can be a massive hassle and prevent you from having access to your outside space. Sliding glass doors in particular, while beautiful when in tack, can prove quite frustrating if they don’t glide (open and close) properly or have cracked or broken glass. CRT has been repairing sliding doors since we opened our doors. From replacing sliding door rollers so the door glides smooth along the track, replacing locks and hardware, to replacing the entire glass on the sliding door and lubricating all weather seals. Our technicians are extremely knowledgeable and professional and will do whatever necessary to repair your door at a fraction of the replacement cost.
