Why window repair fails in the Wiregrass

The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.

Storm wind drives water horizontally against a window and pressurizes the frame cavity, which forces water past seals and through weep systems that work perfectly well in ordinary rain.

Sun breaks down the edge seal of insulated glass units and the vinyl in window weatherstrip, which is why south and west facing windows fog and leak air years before north facing ones do.

It is why the same repair done properly in New Brockton lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.

Local factors we account for in New Brockton: storm wind and sun and heat load — typical of the Wiregrass.

What happens when we get there

  1. Identify the window and its makerBalances, operators and hardware are manufacturer-specific. Identifying the system decides what is available and what has to be adapted.
  2. Operate it slowly and watchWhere the effort rises through the travel tells us which component has failed, often before anything comes apart.
  3. Check the drainageBlocked weep slots put water on the sill and into the wall, and they are behind a lot of what gets blamed on the glass. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
  4. 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.
  5. Reseal properlyNew weatherstrip and glazing seals so the window performs as it should.
  6. Test operation and lock engagementThe sash should move with light effort, stay where it is put, and lock without being pulled into position.

Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

What affects the cost of window repair in New Brockton

There is no single price for window repair in New Brockton, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:

  • screen work alongside the window repair
  • commercial glazing and access requirements
  • glass unit size, tempering and low-E coatings
  • the type of window and whether replacement hardware is still available
  • single window versus several in one visit

Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to New Brockton.

Window repair in New Brockton: questions we get asked

Can painted-shut windows be opened again?

Usually yes, with care. It takes patience to cut the paint seal without damaging the sash or the stops, but old windows in New Brockton homes are often perfectly serviceable once freed.

My window will not stay open. What is broken?

The balances. On a double hung window they counterweight the sash, and when one fails the sash drops. It is a replaceable part and far cheaper than a new window.

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.

Can foggy windows be repaired?

The sealed glass unit gets replaced, but the frame, sash and hardware stay. That is the repair, and it costs a fraction of window replacement.

Is it worth repairing old wood windows?

Very often, yes. Old wood windows in New Brockton were made from better material than most modern replacements and were designed to be repaired. Rot can be spliced, sashes rebuilt and balances replaced.
