Winter Finds Every Weak Seal
The Seasonal Ambush
Why Do 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 — 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
The Fall Tune-Up
One October Visit or a January Emergency — Which Costs Less?
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

“I have three kids, and they accidentally broke the tempered glass on our door. I contacted WowFix, but I had to wait for weeks for a technician. Despite the wait, I can't complain because they offered a reasonable price, and their technician did an excellent job replacing the glass.”

No stock footage, no actors — an actual WowFix job: a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
Drafty Window Repair in Cary — FAQ
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.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit
- 1
Photograph each problem window in daylight
Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.
- 2
Note what each window is doing wrong
Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.
- 3
Clear about three feet in front of each window
Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.
- 4
Find any window brand or paperwork
If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.
- 5
Make sure we can reach the windows outside
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.
