Window Repair & Replacement

October 20th, 2007 by Lakeside Handyman

Single pane windows (and drafty windows) can contribute up to 45% of a homes heat loss in the winter (and similar heat gains in the summer). This home’s aging windows had a poor seal… along with a broken storm window that provided a nice nesting area for birds.

After starting and removing the siding, there was evidence of water damage to the framing and insulation. Lakeside Handyman repaired the water damaged material, installed new wall sheathing, added Tyvek moisture barrier, installed the energy effient windows, installed new siding and applied caulk to the window edge to keep water damage from returning. Also, since these windows are located on the second story of the home, they also have the easy-to-clean feature allowing the home owner easy maintence and cleaning.
