Sunroom Repairs & Glass Replacement

Sunrooms face constant exposure to weather, which means components wear out over time. Glass can crack from impacts or temperature stress. Seals deteriorate and cause leaks. Screens tear. Hardware breaks. When something goes wrong with your sunroom, you need repairs done right so the problem doesn't come back.

We handle all types of sunroom repairs from minor fixes to major restoration work. Whether you have a small leak that needs sealing or multiple broken glass panels that need replacement, we'll diagnose the issue, explain your options, and get your sunroom back to proper working condition.

Common Sunroom Problems

Here are the repair issues we see most often:

• •Leaking roof or windows: Water intrusion from deteriorated seals, damaged flashing, or improper drainage
• •Broken or cracked glass: Impact damage from storms, falling branches, or thermal stress
• •Fogged or clouded glass: Seal failure in insulated glass units that allows moisture between panes
• •Torn or damaged screens: Holes or tears from weather, pets, or normal wear
• •Broken door hardware: Failed hinges, latches, or sliding mechanisms that prevent proper operation
• •Structural damage: Frame problems from foundation settling, wood rot, or corrosion

The key to effective repairs is identifying the root cause, not just treating symptoms. If your sunroom is leaking, we don't just caulk over the obvious spots. We trace the water source and fix it properly so it stays dry. If glass keeps breaking, we figure out why and address the underlying issue.

Glass Replacement Services

Glass replacement is one of the most common sunroom repairs. Cedar Park sunrooms face intense sun, temperature swings, and occasional severe weather that can damage glass panels over time.

Leak Detection and Repair

Water leaks cause serious damage if left unaddressed. They lead to mold growth, wood rot, staining, and structural deterioration. Finding and fixing leaks quickly protects your investment and prevents expensive repairs down the road.

Leaks aren't always obvious. Water might enter at one point and travel along framing before appearing somewhere else entirely. We use systematic inspection methods to trace leaks to their source. This includes checking roof valleys, examining flashing around connections to your house, testing window seals, and inspecting foundation joints.

Common leak sources include deteriorated caulk or sealant, damaged roof membranes or shingles, improperly installed flashing, clogged gutters causing overflow, and foundation cracks allowing ground water intrusion.

Once we identify where water is getting in, we make permanent repairs. This might involve replacing flashing, resealing joints, fixing roof damage, improving drainage, or addressing foundation issues. We don't use temporary fixes that fail after the next storm. We solve the problem correctly so it stays fixed.

If your sunroom needs major work beyond basic repairs, you might want to consider sunroom conversions and upgrades to modernize the entire structure.

Screen and Hardware Repairs

Screens and mechanical components wear out faster than structural elements. Fortunately, they're also easier and less expensive to repair or replace.

Screen mesh tears from pet claws, falling branches, or general wear. Small tears can be patched temporarily, but replacement is usually the better long-term solution. We remove damaged screen panels, install new mesh, and secure it properly in the frame. Screen replacement typically costs far less than glass work.

Door hardware fails from repeated use and weather exposure. Hinges wear out, latches break, and sliding mechanisms get stuck. We stock common replacement parts and can source specialized hardware for older or custom sunrooms. Replacing worn hardware prevents bigger problems like doors sagging out of alignment or not sealing properly.

Window operators, cranks, and locking mechanisms also need occasional replacement. When these fail, windows won't open, close, or lock properly. We carry parts for most major sunroom manufacturers and can fabricate custom solutions when standard parts aren't available.

When to Repair vs Replace

Sometimes repairs make sense. Other times, the sunroom has deteriorated so much that replacement is more cost-effective. We'll be honest about which approach gives you better value.

Minor issues like broken glass, torn screens, or failed hardware are almost always worth repairing. The cost is reasonable and fixes are straightforward. Moderate problems like isolated leaks or limited structural damage usually warrant repair, especially if the rest of the sunroom is in good shape.

Major problems like widespread rot, multiple failing components, or severe structural damage might cost more to repair than the sunroom is worth. In those cases, we recommend evaluating whether building new makes more financial sense.

We provide detailed assessments that help you make informed decisions. You'll understand what's wrong, what it costs to fix, how long repairs will last, and whether replacement might be a better investment long-term.
