Step 1 · Assess Window Damage

Begin by thoroughly examining the entire window unit. Look for any visible cracks, chips, or missing pieces in the glass panes. Check the window sash for rot, warping, or loose joints. Inspect the weatherstripping for signs of wear, such as cracking, tearing, or compression, which can indicate air leaks. Also, assess the condition of the frame and any hardware like locks or hinges. Document all findings to plan the repair strategy.
