What To Do If You Need Emergency Window Repair? | United Glass Service

Broken windows in your home can happen for a number of reasons from an errant ball to a confused bird or even a nefarious intruder, and plenty of reasons in between. Chances are you haven’t planned for the situation when it happens to you. What you do next matters the most to keep your property and your family safe. Here’s exactly what you need to do if you need emergency window repair in Denver. 

Secure the area that needs emergency window repair

Once you’ve put the pieces together and determine the cause of the emergency window repair that you need, secure the area. Keep pets and children away to reduce any injury by broken glass. Make sure to keep your shoes on when you’re in the direct vicinity of the broken window and be sure to use heavy duty glass if you attempt to handle any shards of broken glass.   

Finding an emergency window repair provider

To find an emergency provider in a flash, hit the internet and do a search for providers in your area. You can also ask family and friends for any recommendations and search social media channels for professionals in your area. Choose a provider that seems to get great reviews online and to have earned throngs of happy customers.   

If it’s summer or winter

Depending on the season, broken windows could mean sweating or freezing. If you can safely do so, it’s ok to affix a covering to the window to act as an insulator until it can be fixed for good. This could be something around the house like a blanket or even a flattened cardboard box if you have one large enough and laying around. If it’s winter time in Denver, you want to keep the blistering cold outside, and if it’s summertime, you’ll want to keep as much of your precious air-conditioned air inside where it belongs. 

What to expect from the repair

Depending on the extent of the damage the repair should happen relatively quickly. A new pane will be installed that’s cut to the specific parameters of your window. A technician will remove any old, broken glass that’s left, install the new glass, and affix it in place. You should be up and running with a new window in place in no time.
