Window Glazing & Repair Resource Guide
What Rochester homeowners should know before starting window glazing & repair.
Why it matters
Cracked or missing glazing lets water into wood sashes and causes rot. We remove failed putty, prime the wood, apply fresh glazing compound, and paint to seal it.

Tips from Constant
- Glazing should cure before it is painted, so plan for a few days.
- Check sills and lower sashes first since they rot fastest.
- Reglazing can save original windows that still work well.
Western New York weather and your home
Rochester's cold winters, wet springs, and humid summers are hard on paint and exterior surfaces. Good prep, the right products, and work done in the right season make a big difference in how long results last. Interior work can be done year round.
