## Windows That Felt Fine All Summer Suddenly Leak in November

Nothing changed about the window — the weather just started testing it. A seal that quietly died in April costs nothing through a Cary summer; the first thirty-degree night with a north wind, it announces itself at the back of your neck. That's why draft calls stack up in the first cold week: everyone's windows failed months ago, and everyone finds out at once. The parts are unglamorous — flattened weatherstripping, a latch that stopped clamping, [a balancer letting the sash sit low](/repair/sash-balancer-replacement/) — and each has a small catalog number.
- Seals fail silently in warm months, loudly in cold ones
- Weatherstripping renewed — $115 per window (3-window minimum)
- Latches $115 · balancers $175 — the parts that hold sashes tight
- First-cold-week call volume is real; early birds book easier

## One October Visit Instead of a January Emergency

The smarter Cary calendar: before the first real cold, one visit walks every window and exterior door, renews what's worn, and sends winter to a sealed house. It's the same catalog either way — the only difference is whether you choose the date or the weather does. And if a window's glass is the weak link rather than its seals, a modern insulated unit swaps into the same frame from $198, ready before the heating season instead of during it.
- Whole-house seal walkthrough before the cold arrives
- Worn strips, latches and balancers renewed in one visit
- Insulated glass upgrades from $198 where glass is the leak
- Door seals ($175) handled on the same trip

## Drafty Window Repair in Cary — FAQ

**Q: The windows were fine in September and miserable by December. What happened in between?**

A: Nothing — that's the trick of it. The seals were already worn in September; mild air just doesn't announce a leak. Cold, wind and the pressure difference of a heated house turn the same small gaps into drafts you can feel. The parts were failing all along; winter is simply the season with a megaphone.

**Q: Is a fall tune-up actually worth it, or is that a sales season?**

A: It's worth it for scheduling, not for price — the catalog costs the same in October as in January. What changes: you pick a convenient date, the work happens in comfortable weather, and the first cold night arrives to a sealed house instead of starting a two-week wait behind everyone else's emergency.

**Q: Which rooms should we prioritize if we don't want to do the whole house?**

A: The written sheet prices every opening separately, so triage is easy: bedrooms where cold sleep is on the line, north- and wind-facing walls, and any window someone sits beside daily. The three-window weatherstripping minimum is the only floor — beyond that, the plan is entirely yours.

**Q: Our windows are double-pane but the glass itself feels cold and drafty. Seals or glass?**

A: The hand test tells: moving air means seals; still-but-cold means the glass is conducting heat, which gets dramatic if the unit's gas fill or coating has aged out. In that case a modern insulated unit swaps into your existing frame from $198 — a per-window upgrade, not a renovation.

**Q: Do you handle the doors while you're winterizing the windows?**

A: Always — the same walkthrough covers exterior doors, and perimeter seals or sweeps renew for $175 on the same visit. A sealed house with a leaky front door is half a job, and drafts don't care which opening they use.

**Q: How fast can you get to Cary?**

A: Cary is home territory for the Triangle crew — fall tune-ups book at your convenience, and even first-cold-week calls usually see us within days.
