Should I Repair or Replace My Window?
Dickson Contractors will always work with you in order to give you the best options when it comes to your windows. However, if your window is leaking, or cracked, or old and doesn’t match the house, you can have your windows repaired, or replaced. When it comes to deciding what is best for your home; ask yourself these questions:
- Is there chipped paint or wood around your windows?
- Is it difficult to clean your windows, and after you are done so they still look dirty?
- Are your old windows sticking?
- Are your old windows leaking?
- Is there dry rot around the pane?
If you answered yes more than no to these questions, then it is time to seriously consider replacing your home’s windows.

- Single Hung Windows: Also another common option among homeowners. These work like double hung windows, however on the bottom can open while the top part never moves.
- Casement Windows: These windows usually operate by turning a crank, and they open outward.
- Awning Windows: Much like what they are named after, awning windows open outward from the left or right, top or bottom.
- Bay Windows: Bay windows are designed to jut out from your home in order to give you more internal space. These windows can also come with different options like a casement window or just a stationary window.
