## That One Room That Never Warms Up? The Windows Are Telling On Themselves

Every Kannapolis house seems to have it: the room the thermostat can't reach. Before blaming the ductwork, hold a hand along the window edges on a cold evening — you'll likely find the culprit. Weatherstripping flattens with age and stops touching the sash. A latch that no longer cams the window tight leaves a standing gap. A tired balancer lets the sash settle low and open a sliver at the top. Three small parts, three small prices, one warm room.
- Flattened weatherstripping renewed — $115 per window (3 minimum)
- Latch not pulling the sash snug — $115
- Sash settling low on a dead balancer — $175
- The hand test finds in minutes what a whole winter hides

## Seal the Windows You Own Before Buying Windows You Don't Need

The replacement pitch says drafty windows must go — at $1,000 and up per opening, a whole-house sentence of $15,000 or more. The sealing math reads differently: $115 per window closes the gaps that actually leak. And when the glass itself is the weak point — single panes or a dead sealed unit — a Low-E insulated unit swaps into your existing frame from $198, cutting summer heat gain and winter heat loss without touching the frame. The house gets tighter; the frames, and your savings, stay put.
- Sealing a window: $115 · replacing it: $1,000+
- Low-E insulated glass in your existing frame — from $198
- Door drafts closed in the same visit — $175
- Honest advice when a window truly is past sealing

## How Drafty Window Repair Works in Kannapolis

A leak hunt, a per-opening price sheet, a sealed house.
- **The Leak Hunt** — Every window edge and exterior door checked by hand and by eye — drafts hide in seals, latches and sash position, and we look at all three.
- **Per-Opening Price Sheet** — Each leaky opening gets its own line — strip $115, latch $115, balancer $175 — so you pick which rooms to seal and see the total before we start.
- **Seal & Snug** — New strips seated in their channels, latches made to cam tight, sashes brought back to height — sealing work finishes the same day.
- **The Re-Check** — Hand test repeated on every serviced window with you following along — then the written workmanship warranty.

## Drafty Window Repair in Kannapolis — FAQ

**Q: One bedroom stays freezing all winter no matter what the thermostat says. Are the windows to blame?**

A: Very often, yes — and there's a free test: on a cold evening, run the back of your hand slowly around each window's edges. A thin stream of cold air means dead weatherstripping, a loose latch or a settled sash — repairs of $115 to $175 per window, not a renovation. If the hand test finds nothing, we'll say so honestly rather than sell you sealing you don't need.

**Q: We can feel a draft even when the windows are locked. How does that happen?**

A: Locking a window only helps if the latch still pulls the sash tight against its seals — worn latches close without actually clamping. And flattened weatherstripping leaks with the window locked as firmly as unlocked. Both have $115 fixes, and both are invisible until someone checks.

**Q: Every November we tape plastic film over the windows. Is there a grown-up solution?**

A: The film works by doing the weatherstripping's job for it — a $115-per-window repair you're re-buying at the hardware store every winter and living behind like shrink wrap. Professional strips are profile-matched to the sash channel and seat mechanically; seal them once and the November ritual is over.

**Q: Our windows are old single-pane. Is sealing them enough, or are we fighting physics?**

A: Sealing stops the moving air, which is the sharpest discomfort — but single-pane glass does keep conducting heat. The honest middle path: a Low-E insulated unit swapped into your existing frame from $198 per window. You get modern glass performance without the $1,000-plus-per-opening replacement, and the original frames stay.

**Q: Do we have to do the whole house at once?**

A: No — the walkthrough prices every leaky opening on its own line, and you choose: just the cold bedroom, the whole north wall, or everything. The only floor is a three-window minimum on weatherstripping so the visit makes sense for everyone.

**Q: The front door leaks cold air too. Same visit?**

A: Same visit, same sheet — door perimeter seals are $175, and a door that's stopped latching snug gets its hardware trued while we're there. Drafts rarely respect the window-door boundary, so neither do we.

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

A: Cabarrus County is weekly territory for the Charlotte-metro crew — most sealing visits book within days and wrap up the same day they start.
