“Is it a free estimate?”
Yes, if your repair is standard, we provide a phone quote for $0. For custom work that requires a technician to visit your home Monday-Friday between 9 AM and 6 PM, there is a $75 on-site estimate fee. However, that $75 is credited back to you when you book the repair. We do not visit on weekends. Whether you have a wood, vinyl, or aluminum frame, our own crew handles the work and we provide a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay.
”Well, but what is the cost of fixing something like that?”
The cost depends on what is broken. If your window won’t stay up (sash balancer), it is $175 per window. If the lock is broken (window latch), it is $115. For a window that won’t open or close properly (casement crank operator), the cost is $275. If you have rot in a real wood sash, rebuilding it starts at $375, while a sill or frame starts at $475. These prices are for the repair, which is significantly cheaper than window replacement, where a new vinyl window typically costs $1,000+ and wood windows cost about $2,000.
”Can you give me a quote, please, for fogging a window?”
When a window looks cloudy or has moisture between the panes (foggy sealed glass unit), we replace the glass itself, not the whole window. Prices range from $198 to $480 depending on the size and glass type. For example, a 24x24 double-pane vinyl window costs $204, and a 36x36 double-pane vinyl costs $284 (or $344 if it has grids). For foggy window repair, our technician confirms the exact measurements on-site before any glass is cut, and the made-to-measure glass arrives within days.
”Do you do that kind of stuff?”
We repair every brand and every frame material, including wood, vinyl, and aluminum. If your sliding door is hard to move (rollers need replacing), we can fix that for $475, or $535 if the wheels need replacing too. We also handle screen repair, with rescreening at $100 and a full new screen at $150. However, we do not do shower doors, auto glass, scratch polishing, plexiglass, stained glass, pet doors, or blinds-between-glass. If your project falls into those categories, we cannot help you.
”Can you repeat please with the glass prices?”
For glass repair, single-pane glass cut to size starts at a flat minimum of $164 per pane. For double-pane sealed units, the price varies by size: a 24x24 double-pane vinyl is $204, a 36x36 is $284 (with grids $344), and a large 42x72 tempered sliding-door panel is $774. Our technician always confirms the measurements on-site before the glass is ordered to ensure a perfect fit. All glass work is backed by our 5-year written workmanship warranty.
”Is there a cost for the visit?”
For standard repairs, we provide a phone quote for $0, so there is no trip fee. If the job is custom and requires a professional diagnosis on-site, the visit costs $75. This fee is credited back to your final bill when you book the repair. On-site visits are scheduled Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. Our phone assistant, Alex, answers calls 24/7 to help you determine if you need a simple phone quote or a technician’s visit.
”Can I email the picture of it to get a more accurate estimate?”
Yes, you can send photos to help us provide a more accurate quote. Whether you want a quote over the phone or via email, we can provide a written quote by text or email upon request. If you need a formal PDF listing the home address and a detailed breakdown of costs, we can provide that. This allows you to see the exact price for each individual repair before we send our crew to your home.
”Can you break it for each one? How much is the per one?”
We price every repair individually so you know exactly where your money is going. A window lock is $115 per unit. Weatherstripping is $115 per window, though we require a 3-window minimum for that service. Sash balancers are $175 per window. If you have multiple windows with different issues, we list each one separately on your written quote. This transparency ensures you only pay for the specific parts and labor required for each window or door in your home.
”The short version”
If you have a standard repair, the quote is free over the phone. For custom work, the on-site visit is $75 (credited back upon booking). Common prices include $115 for locks, $175 for sash balancers, $475 for sliding door rollers, and $198 to $480 for foggy glass. We repair all brands and materials with a 5-year warranty and a “no fix, no charge” guarantee. We do not handle shower doors, auto glass, or stained glass.
