Cracked window - should I replace?
I had new tenants move in a few weeks ago and they just sent over a list of “maintenance issues”
One of the items is a crack in the front window. I am aware the window is cracked (it has been like that for years and was never mentioned by previous tenants). It is the only original window left in the house and it doesn’t open (middle part of a bay window). The crack is about 12” long in the bottom corner, with no possibility of it spreading further and there is also a storm window that is fully intact.
Do I need to have the glass replaced? It is not a small window and I am worried that replacing the glass will be pricey. I have always thought of it as a cosmetic thing, but obviously want to fix it if it is truly a hazard.
