We know Citronelle well: the older housing around Downtown Citronelle, the newer construction toward the State Street corridor, and everything out past the Citronelle oil field.
Between the established parts of Citronelle and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

- Drafts around the sashFailed weatherstrip and worn sash seals.
- Fogging between the panesThe insulated glass seal has failed and moisture is inside the unit.
- The crank feels loose then suddenly bitesStripped teeth in the operator gear, which will fail completely before long.
- The window will not lockSash misalignment, or a failed lock and keeper.
- The lock lines up but will not rotate fullyThe sash is sitting proud of the frame, so the keeper is loaded before the cam is home.

Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
Windows are designed to collect water in the frame and drain it out through weep holes, and blocked weeps during heavy rain is the standard reason water appears on an interior sill.
High humidity saturates the desiccant in a sealed glass unit quickly once its seal has begun to fail, and it also keeps wood sashes at a moisture content where rot can get started.
We factor that in on every window repair job around the Citronelle oil field and the rest of Citronelle.
Local factors we account for in Citronelle: heavy rainfall and sustained humidity — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our window repair process
- Identify the window type and manufacturerBalances, operators and hardware are specific, and getting the right part is most of the job.
- Test each moving part separatelyBalances, operator, hinges and lock get checked independently so one stiff component does not disguise another.
- Check the drainageWeep holes and sill drainage get checked on any window with water intrusion, because that is usually the cause. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- Repair rather than replace where it makes senseBalances, operators, locks and glass units are all serviceable parts. A whole window is rarely the honest answer.
- Reseal properlyNew weatherstrip and glazing seals so the window performs as it should.
- Check it holds where you leave itA sash that creeps down after a few minutes has not been fixed, so we leave it open and come back to it before finishing.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Citronelle: questions we get asked
When is a window genuinely not worth repairing?
When the frame itself has failed structurally or the window is so far gone that repair costs approach replacement. That is a much smaller set of windows than you would think from replacement advertising, and we will tell you when you are in it.
Can you replace glass without replacing the whole window?
Yes, in nearly all cases. Broken panes, cracked glass and failed insulated units are all replaceable in the existing frame.
Water is coming in at my window sill. What causes that?
Usually blocked weep holes. Windows are designed to collect water in the frame and drain it out, and when those drains clog it backs up and comes inside instead.
Why will my window not lock anymore?
The sash has dropped or shifted, so the lock and keeper no longer meet. Forcing it can break the lock, and the actual fix is usually alignment rather than new hardware.
Do you repair commercial windows and storefront glazing?
Yes, including glass replacement, hardware and seals for Citronelle businesses.
How long does window repair take?
Balance, hardware and screen work is usually under an hour per window. Glass unit replacement takes a measuring visit and then a fitting visit once the unit is made.
