Size, glass type (Low-E, tempered) and access set the final number. For contrast: every replacement quote you've collected starts around $1,000 per window — the repair is a fraction of that, which is exactly why replacement companies don't offer it. **Q: We're getting the house ready to sell and the inspector will flag the foggy windows. Cheapest respectable fix?** A: Re-glass exactly the failed units — from $198 each — and the inspection line item disappears. Buyers see clear glass and original windows; you skip both the replacement budget and the price cut a buyer would demand over 'bad windows.' We can price your whole list in one visit. **Q: My windows are original to the house — decades old. Can they really take new glass units?** A: Usually yes, and it's the best outcome for an older Chapel Hill home: the character stays, the glass gets renewed. We fabricate units to the exact pocket size of your sashes, including odd dimensions modern catalogs don't carry. If a sash or sill needs wood work first, we do that too — it's all one crew. **Q: Will the fog come back in a couple of summers?** A: Not with a properly built unit. Fog returns when cheap units cut corners — soft spacers that warp in the heat, skimpy desiccant that saturates fast. We build ours with rigid aluminum spacers and proper desiccant, and back the seal with a written warranty. **Q: The window is foggy AND it won't stay open. Is that two service calls?** A: One visit. Fog is the glass unit; a sash that won't stay up is the balancer ($175) — different parts, same crew, one written quote covering both. Anything window-related in Chapel Hill — glass, hardware, wood — we handle together. **Q: How do I know it's a failed seal and not just condensation?** A: The wipe test: if the moisture wipes off the inside surface, it's room humidity. If the haze sits between the panes and neither side comes clean, the seal has failed — that's a from-$198 unit swap. Text us a photo and we'll tell you which one you have before anyone drives out. **Q: Do you cover Carrboro and the neighborhoods outside town?** A: Yes — Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Southern Village, Meadowmont, Governors Club, Briar Chapel and out to the Triangle towns around.
