Has an animal clawed a hole in a screen at your Upper Brookville house, or do you feel cold air near a window every winter? Is the big slider to the yard hard to pull? All three are usually repairable. The windows stay put, your home keeps the character it was built with, and it comes out looking better.

If raccoons or other animals get at your screens

Raccoons and other animals looking for food or a warm spot may claw at a screen. They may also bend a screen door or pull the mesh loose from its frame.

Torn mesh can be replaced without a new frame. A bent frame can often be straightened or rebuilt. If a storm door no longer closes on its own, we can fix its closer and latch, so the door shuts tight again.

If you feel a draft near your windows

Most Upper Brookville homes went up in the second half of the 1900s. After decades of use, the weatherstrip around a sash can flatten or crack. That lets cold air slip in around the edges.

New weatherstrip and an adjusted lock can make a window close snugly again. If one room gets too much sun, ask about Low-E glass, a coating that cuts the sun’s heat. The village website also has a page about home energy audits, which can show where your house loses heat.

A large house with a lot of glass

Many homes in the village are large, and some older houses have been replaced by bigger ones. A big house can have a great many windows and more than one sliding door. You do not need to deal with all of them at once.

Pick the few that trouble you most and begin there. A slider that drags usually needs new rollers and a clean track. A window that fogs between its panes may need only new sealed glass in its frame.

If you are in the middle of a renovation

For an alteration permit, Upper Brookville requires drawings stamped by an architect or engineer. It also says that once the permit is issued, “NO CHANGES ARE PERMITTED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD.”

So if your plans for windows or doors shift partway through, check with the village before anything changes. The Building Department’s number is 516-624-7715, extension 3; it answers Monday through Thursday, 8:30 to 3.

FAQ

Questions from Upper Brookville homeowners

There is a hole in my porch screen. Is that a quick job?

Usually it is. We check the frame first. If it is still straight, only the mesh needs replacing.

I feel cold air around my bedroom window. Is the window failing?

Probably not. The seal strips around the sash often wear out first. New weatherstrip and a lock that pulls the sash tight usually stop the draft.

Our house has more windows than we can count. Where do we start?

Start with the windows that stick, leak or fog. We look at those first and tell you plainly what each one needs.

We are halfway through a renovation. Can we change the window plan now?

Ask the Building Department first. The village says no changes are allowed after the permit issues without its approval and the review board’s.

Do you also come to Oyster Bay, Muttontown, Mill Neck and the other Brookvilles?

Yes. Oyster Bay, Muttontown, Old Brookville, Brookville and Mill Neck all border Upper Brookville. We serve each of them.
