Winter will go as quickly as it came, and with its passing come the bright colors of spring — and the crushing reminder of the things you need to do to maintain your home!
Since homeowners have to focus on so many things in the springtime, they often forget to check the condition of their sliding door glass. However, keeping your glass doors in great shape is important for both appearance and functionality. Here’s why your spring maintenance plan should include professional sliding glass door repair.
Why Bother Hiring a Professional for Door Glass Repair?
You may think, “Swapping out a glass panel doesn’t look too complicated, so I might as well give it a go myself.”
But there are many reasons this task is best left to those with experience and training that goes well beyond a 10-minute online tutorial.
Here’s how a professional glass technician can help.
Improve Your Curb Appeal
Cracked or foggy doors give out the wrong first impression of your home. With professional door glass repair, you’ll know that your doors — and your home — will look their best!
This is especially important if you’re planning to sell your home in the next year or two, as there’s nothing more appealing to potential buyers than a well-maintained exterior.
Increase Energy Efficiency
Faulty doors and door glass can waste more energy than many people realize. Drafts from cracks and gaps in the glass mean you’ll be spending a lot more on heating and cooling than you want to.
Proper glass repair by a professional ensures that the new glass is well-sealed and insulated for optimal energy efficiency. This is a small investment you make in your home this spring — before the warm weather spikes your energy bills again!
Feel More Secure
Undamaged door glass is important for aesthetic reasons, but it’s arguably even more important for security.
Broken glass doors don’t make your home look appealing to anyone — except intruders. Many homeowners who try to reinstall or repair sliding glass doors themselves just end up with more cracked or crooked glass. When you call a professional, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your home doesn’t look like a target.
Signs You Need Door Glass Repair
As you’re getting ready for spring, it’s a good idea to check the condition of your door glass, even if you don’t suspect any issues. Here are some signs that it’s time to bring in the pros:
- Visible damage, like cracks or chips
- Foggy or cloudy glass
- Difficulty opening or closing the door
A glass technician will evaluate the extent of any damage and suggest the best possible solution. They can also spot other issues that don’t yet stand out, enabling you to fix them before the problem becomes bigger and more expensive.
Glass is a dangerous material. Instead of putting yourself at risk, contact professionals who have the right tools and training to work with it.
