Sarasota Window and Door Maintenance

Sarasota Window and Door Maintenance
Water intrusion can be a costly repair if not dealt with quickly and effectively. On the barrier islands in particular, our homes are tested almost every day during the rainy season. The good news is that with some preventative maintenance expensive repairs can often be avoided.

Each year we recommend to our clients:

a) Visually inspect the sealant around the perimeter of your windows and doors. If you see voids, clean out the old sealant and reseal with a high quality sealant.

b) Weather stripping on windows and doors will fail over time. Poor seals are a common cause of water intrusion. Often, weather stripping can be replaced quickly and pretty cost effectively.

c) Over time, your windows and doors will need simple adjustments so that they open and close easily and seal the opening properly. Sometimes small parts and pieces need to be replaced.

If you need more information about Sarasota Window and Door Maintenance Services please call 941-752-7473 and speak with one of our professional consultants.
