The Cold Room
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 Energy Math
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.

The Process
How Drafty Window Repair Works in Kannapolis
A leak hunt, a per-opening price sheet, a sealed house.
01/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.
02/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.
03/Seal & Snug
New strips seated in their channels, latches made to cam tight, sashes brought back to height — sealing work finishes the same day.
04/The Re-Check
Hand test repeated on every serviced window with you following along — then the written workmanship warranty.

“I had a good experience with WowFix when they came out to provide an estimate for my front door. He was very nice, took the time to discuss the issue with me, and provided an estimate without pressuring me to make a decision on the spot. He was understanding and gave me time to think things over before moving forward. I appreciate his time and professionalism!”

“Wanted to wait until I had the door painted. Eugene did a fantastic job tearing out the entire frame down to the brick mold due to wood rot. He basically rebuilt the entire thing along with the wood rot on the door itself. He does work some unconventional hours but the craftsmanship was worth it.”

“Excellent service. Eugene was super helpful, and found out the replacement rollers for our 20 year old patio glass door ( the original company has discontinued the product). The door works fine. He also helped me in adjust the screen door.”

Drafty Window Repair in Kannapolis — FAQ
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.
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.
