Our Comprehensive Services
We focus on detailed inspections, expert sash repairs, and durable hardware upgrades to keep your windows functioning smoothly. Our approach is thorough and precise, ensuring each part of your window system gets the right attention.
Inspection and Diagnostic
We start every job with a full inspection to find issues with your window sashes. This includes checking for wood rot, damage to the sash frame, broken seals, and improper alignment. We also test the window’s movement to spot any sticking or difficulty in opening and closing.
Our team uses specialized tools to measure balance and weight systems in double-hung windows. This helps us identify hidden problems like broken springs or counterweights. Knowing the exact condition allows us to recommend the best repair plan.
Sash Repair
We repair sash components including the frame, glass, and seals. If the sash wood is soft or damaged, we replace those parts or use wood fillers for minor fixes. For glass, we handle replacement of broken panes or re-glazing when necessary.
We also address issues with the weatherstripping that seals the sash. Proper sealing improves energy efficiency by reducing drafts and moisture entry. Our goal is to restore smooth sash operation with repairs that last.
Hardware Replacement and Upgrades
Hardware like locks, latches, balances, and pulleys can wear out or break over time. We replace these parts with high-quality, compatible pieces to ensure security and ease of use.
Upgrading old hardware can improve window performance. For example, installing new balances can make a double-hung window operate more smoothly. Our hardware replacements help maintain safety and extend the lifespan of your windows.
