What to do About a Broken Window in Your Home

The last thing you need in your life is a broken window in your home. However, this can happen for a variety of reasons, ranging from inclement weather to a simple accident.

Should you find yourself facing this situation, here’s what you need to do:

•    Pinpoint the cause: Not only will this help you avoid a similar situation in the future, but it may work in your favor when deciding if you want to make a home insurance claim.

•    Think safety first: Block off the area to ensure that no one on the inside or outside can access the window. This is particularly important if you have small children at home.

•    Clean up the area: To the best of your ability, clean the area to remove any glass and debris. While doing so, take extreme caution to protect against injury. This is also the right time to find a temporary window covering.

From there, immediately decide on how to replace the window. Unless you have experience, it’s best to consult with a professional window installation company.

Not only can they replace this window, but they can also inspect the rest of your windows. You. may find that now’s the right time for a complete window replacement project.

You hope that you never have to deal with a broken window, but there’s no way of knowing what the future will hold. Fortunately, there are some quick steps you can take to remedy this situation.

"Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough."

- Erin M.

"Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!"

Laura M.

"Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!"
