Q: Why did my window seal fail?

• <div><p>Window seals don&rsquo;t last forever, so they&rsquo;ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-window-frame.htm">repainting windows</a>, and incorrect window installation.</p></div>

Gerald was wonderful. We needed an outlet repaired and he did an excellent job. I had to shuffle the time around on him twice and he rolled with the punches. The only thing I wish he could have done was repair the dry wall he had to cut into but I knew that was going to be my problem in advance.

He did a good job. However it began to rain and the gutter began to leak between the gutter and the roof. They came back and fixed that problem. However, they were supposed to replace screens in my windows. He said he would order them and come install them. They gave me two new window screens.
