Signs to watch
Is this you?
Foggy haze between the panes
The insulated glass seal has failed and moisture is trapped inside. The glass unit can often be replaced without touching the frame or trim.
A draft you can feel with the window shut
Usually failed weatherstripping, a worn sash, or a gap the caulk gave up on — all fixable long before the whole unit is done.
Crank, balance, or lock won't cooperate
Broken cranks, dead sash balances, and painted-shut locks are hardware problems. A stuck egress window is a safety issue, not just an annoyance.
Soft, rotted wood at the sill or frame
Northwest rain finds tired glazing and failed flashing. Caught early it's a repair; ignored, the rot spreads into the wall and forces full replacement.
Your options
Repair what's worth repairing — replace only when it isn't
We replace fogged insulated glass units, rebuild and re-cord sash balances, swap cranks, locks, rollers and weatherstripping, re-glaze and re-caulk, and repair localized frame rot. Every repair comes with photos of what we found. And when a window is genuinely past saving — rot into the framing, a frame racked out of square — we'll show you why in pictures and point you at replacement without pretending the repair would hold.
The method
How we do it
- 01
Diagnose the real problem
We find out whether it's the glass, the hardware, the seal, or the frame — because those are four different fixes and four different prices. Photos of everything.
- 02
Fixed-price repair quote
You approve the number before a tool comes out. If repair doesn't make sense, we say so and show the replacement math side by side.
- 03
Repair and test
Matched glass or hardware installed, sealed, and operated. We open, close, and lock every window we touch with you watching.
Straight numbers
What repairs actually cost
Most window repairs run well below the price of a new unit — a fogged glass replacement or a hardware fix is a fraction of full replacement. What moves the number: whether it's glass, hardware, or frame rot, how many windows, and access on upper floors. When total repairs across the house start approaching replacement cost, we'll show you the math on both paths instead of nickel-and-diming aging windows.
Where we do this work
Window Repair: straight answers
Can a foggy window really be fixed without full replacement?
Usually, yes. The fog means the insulated glass seal failed — on many windows we can replace just the sealed glass unit and reuse the existing frame and sash, at a fraction of a full replacement. If the frame itself is sound, that's the smart money.
When does repair stop making sense?
When the frame is rotted into the surrounding wall, the unit is racked out of square, or you're facing repairs on most windows in the house at once. At that point new units — sealed and flashed right — cost less over the next decade than chasing failures one at a time. We'll show you honestly which side of that line you're on.
Can you fix a window that's painted or stuck shut?
Almost always. We free the sash, replace worn balances or cranks, and get it operating and locking again. If it's a bedroom egress window, getting it to open properly isn't optional — it's a safety and code issue we treat as a priority.
Do you repair the wood rot around old windows?
Localized sill and frame rot, yes — we cut it out, repair or replace the affected wood, and re-flash and seal so water stops getting in. If the rot has traveled into the wall framing, we'll tell you, because at that point you're repairing the wall, not the window.
