Sunroom Repairs & Glass Replacement

Common Sunroom Problems That Need Repair

Even well-built sunrooms can develop problems over time. Weather, age, and normal wear and tear can lead to issues like leaks, broken glass, damaged screens, or deteriorating seals. The good news is that most sunroom problems can be fixed without having to replace the entire structure.

When you work with ADL Avondale Sunrooms & Patios, you get expert sunroom repair services in Avondale, AZ from professionals who understand how sunrooms are built. We diagnose the problem correctly the first time and provide lasting repairs that prevent issues from coming back.

Do not wait until small problems become big expensive ones. If you notice water stains, drafts, condensation between glass panes, cracked glass, or damaged screens, it is time to call for repairs. The sooner you address these issues, the less damage they will cause and the easier they will be to fix.

Types of Sunroom Repairs We Handle

We repair all types of sunrooms, patio enclosures, and screen rooms. Here are the most common repairs we do for homeowners in Avondale:

• •Glass replacement - Replace broken, cracked, or fogged insulated glass units with new energy-efficient glass that matches your existing sunroom.
• •Leak repair - Find and fix leaks around windows, doors, roof connections, and wall attachments to prevent water damage.
• •Screen replacement - Replace torn, sagging, or damaged screens with commercial-grade screening that lasts longer than standard residential screens.
• •Seal and weatherstripping - Replace worn gaskets, seals, and weatherstripping to improve energy efficiency and prevent drafts.
• •Door and hardware repair - Fix sticking doors, replace damaged locks, repair or replace door closers, and restore smooth operation.

Sunroom Glass Replacement

Glass replacement is one of the most common sunroom repairs we do. Glass can break from impacts, extreme temperature changes, or just age and weathering. Insulated glass units can also fail over time, allowing moisture to get trapped between the panes. When this happens, you see fog or condensation that will not wipe away.

We can replace individual glass panels without having to replace the entire window or wall section. This saves you money and gets your sunroom back to working condition quickly. We measure carefully to ensure the new glass fits perfectly in the existing framing.

When replacing glass, you have options. You can match the existing glass exactly, or you can upgrade to better performing glass. Many customers choose to upgrade to low-E insulated glass even if their original sunroom had standard glass. The energy savings and improved comfort are worth the extra cost.

We also handle specialty glass like tempered safety glass, laminated glass, or tinted glass. If your sunroom has unusual shapes or custom sizes, we can source and install the right glass for your situation. Our goal is to restore your sunroom to like-new condition while potentially improving its performance.

Finding and Fixing Sunroom Leaks

Leaks are one of the most frustrating sunroom problems because they can cause extensive damage if not fixed quickly. Water stains on ceilings or walls, puddles on the floor, or a musty smell are all signs that you have a leak somewhere.

Finding the source of a leak is not always obvious. Water can enter at one spot and travel along framing or roof panels before dripping down somewhere else. We use systematic inspection methods to track down the actual source of the leak, not just where you see water.

Common leak sources include failed sealant around windows, improper flashing where the sunroom connects to your house, damaged or missing roof seals, and deteriorated weatherstripping around doors. Once we identify the problem, we make the necessary repairs using proper materials and techniques to ensure the leak does not come back.

If a leak has caused water damage to framing, insulation, or interior finishes, we address that as well. It is important to fix both the leak and any resulting damage to prevent mold growth and structural issues. We provide a complete solution that restores your sunroom to dry, safe condition.

Screen Room Repair and Rescreening

If you have a screen room, torn or damaged screens are inevitable over time. Kids, pets, flying debris, and just normal wear can all cause screen damage. Fortunately, screens are relatively easy and affordable to replace.

We rescreen individual panels or entire rooms depending on the extent of the damage. The process involves removing the old screening, cleaning the frames, and installing new screening that is properly tensioned so it stays tight and looks professional.

We use commercial-grade screening that is stronger and more durable than standard residential screening. If you have pets or want extra durability, we also offer pet-resistant screening that holds up better to scratching and impact. The new screens will look great and last for years with proper care.

While we are rescreening, we also inspect the framing and spline channels for damage. If frames are bent or corroded, we repair or replace them as needed. The goal is to restore your screen room to like-new condition so you can continue enjoying bug-free outdoor living.

Preventive Maintenance for Your Sunroom

The best way to avoid expensive repairs is to catch small problems before they become big ones. Regular inspections and basic maintenance can extend the life of your sunroom and keep it looking and performing great.

We recommend inspecting your sunroom at least twice a year. Look for signs of leaks, check the condition of seals and weatherstripping, clean the glass and screens, and make sure doors operate smoothly. If you notice anything unusual, address it promptly.

Simple maintenance tasks you can do yourself include cleaning the frames and glass, lubricating door hinges and tracks, checking for debris in drainage channels, and trimming vegetation that touches the sunroom. These basic steps prevent many common problems.

For more complex maintenance like resealing joints, checking structural connections, or inspecting the roof system, it is worth having a professional do an annual checkup. We offer maintenance services that include a thorough inspection and any minor repairs needed to keep your sunroom in top condition. This preventive approach saves money in the long run by avoiding major repairs down the road.

When to Repair vs When to Replace

Sometimes homeowners face the question of whether to repair their existing sunroom or replace it entirely. If you only have a few specific problems like a broken glass panel or torn screens, repair is definitely the way to go. It is quick, affordable, and gets you back to using your sunroom right away.

However, if your sunroom has extensive damage, multiple failing systems, or major structural issues, repair costs can add up quickly. At a certain point, you are putting a lot of money into an old structure that still will not perform as well as a new one.

We provide honest assessments when we inspect your sunroom for repairs. If we think the repair costs are getting close to the cost of replacement, we tell you that. Our goal is to help you make the best financial decision, not just to sell you services you do not need.

For older sunrooms that are functional but outdated, you might also consider conversions and upgrades as a middle ground between repair and replacement. This approach fixes problems while also modernizing the space to better meet your current needs.
