- Window and Window Frame Inspection

We believe that an annual maintenance check minimizes the risk of a window becoming significantly damaged due to moisture, paint failure, pest damage or glazing failure. During a maintenance check if a window is found to have extensive damage/deterioration an assessment of repair recommendation will be made along with associated pricing. Our maintenance services start at $25 per window for ground level 1 over 1 windows or small windows and prices increase based on window size, number of lites, height of the window and difficulty in getting ladders or lifts to the windows. Minimum charges do apply.
