At AF Construction, we specialize in bay window maintenance; Some of the symptoms to look for are rotten wood in the support bracket, window seat leaning out, and even window latch issues. At some point, water damage to the base of a bay window will result in a rebuild that includes new framing material, additional insulation, new window base, and caulking to prevent further damage. We are experts in carrying out this type of situation.

AF Construction Bay Windows
A bay window is a major investment. Made of multiple crystals and designed to extend outside the house. Like standard windows, bay windows fall victim to sash problems, breaks and cracks, leaks, and condensation. These problems are compounded with age, choice of material, and location.
However, unlike standard windows that sit flush with a wall, bay windows protrude from an exterior wall and are vulnerable to damage from above and below. Bay windows are also inherently more susceptible to shifting or warping. Remember: Any damage to a window frame, including shifting or warping, will affect how well the window glass fits within the frame.
For these reasons, it’s important to choose a reputable provider, like AF Construction, to install or replace any damaged panes on your bay window. Fortunately, many damaged or broken windows can be repaired by replacing one or more of the affected panes.
What is a Bay Window?
We can characterize bay windows by three or more connected windows that add light to a room. These windows add more floor space to the interior by extending from the wall into exterior space. Bay windows contain angular lines and flat planes—two features that complement modern homes.
