The fog shows up in what came later — insulated units retrofitted into old sashes during renovations, the glass in a kitchen addition, the double-panes of the midcentury ranches north toward Great Lakes and Decatur Heights. Those sealed units carry a perimeter seal with a finite life, and Decatur's deep oak canopy shortens it: shaded glass stays damp long after sunrise, the cavity breathes moisture at every pressure swing, and once the seal gives out, the haze moves in for good. - Permanent mist locked between two panes of glass - Retrofitted and renovation-era units fail first — not the antique sashes - Shaded north-side glass under the oaks holds fog longest - Beads or mineral streaks inside the cavity that no cloth reaches ## Storm-Window Sweat vs. Dead-Seal Fog — Know Which One You Have Half of Decatur's 'foggy windows' aren't seal failures at all. On houses running storm windows over original single-pane sashes, moisture often condenses in the air gap between the storm and the primary window — that's ventilation, not glass failure, and it clears when the space can breathe. True seal failure is different: the haze is locked inside a factory-sealed double-pane sandwich, unreachable from either face, morning after morning. That unit is done — and only that unit. We measure it to the millimeter, build a fresh insulated unit with rigid spacers and a desiccant-charged perimeter, and set it into the sash you already have. The sash stays, the trim stays, the paint stays; only the glass changes. - Glass-only sealed-unit exchange, from $198 - Original sash, frame and interior finish untouched - Perimeter seals built for Georgia's damp-shade climate ## How Foggy Window Repair Works in Decatur The glass is built before the truck rolls — so one firm-dated visit finishes the job. - **Tell Dispatch What's Hazed** — Call or book online and describe which panes stay cloudy.

Can you fix it without touching the old wood?** A: Yes, and that's the whole design of the repair. The retrofitted sealed unit lifts out of the antique sash, a new unit built to identical dimensions goes back in, and the heart-pine sash, the trim and the paint never come off the wall. The century-old woodwork that gives the house its face is exactly what we work around, from $198 per unit. **Q: There's moisture between my storm window and the old single-pane sash. Is that a failed seal?** A: No — and it's the most common false alarm in Decatur. A storm window over an original sash creates an unsealed air gap, and on humid mornings that gap sweats. That's a ventilation and weep-hole issue, not glass failure. A failed seal only exists in factory-sealed double-pane units, where the haze is locked between the bonded panes. We tell you which one you're looking at before quoting anything. **Q: Why do my shaded windows stay foggy all day while the sunny ones clear by ten?** A: Decatur's old-growth oaks keep whole elevations of glass out of direct sun, so trapped moisture in a failed unit never gets baked toward the drier edge of the cavity — the haze just sits. Shade also ages seals differently than sun: the glass cycles damp-cool instead of hot-dry, and the moisture load on the perimeter seal is relentless. Either way, once fog is inside the unit, the unit is finished, and the exchange runs from $198. **Q: We're near Agnes Scott and thinking of selling. Will fogged panes really hurt the listing?** A: In this market, yes — Decatur buyers pay a premium for houses that photograph beautifully, and milky glass reads as deferred maintenance in every listing shot and inspection report. Exchanging the failed units from $198 each turns an inspector's red flag into a receipt, for far less than the concession a buyer's agent would extract. **Q: Do you replace the whole sash, or just the glass inside it?** A: Just the sealed glass unit. The sash — whether it's a 1930s wood original or a 1990s renovation window — stays in the frame. We measure the failed unit, fabricate its twin with rigid spacers and a desiccant perimeter, and bed it in fresh sealant. Full window replacement, at $1,000+ per opening, is what this repair exists to make unnecessary. **Q: How quickly can you get to Decatur?** A: The honest version: we serve Decatur on scheduled metro-Atlanta routes, so you get a firm appointment date from dispatch rather than a same-week promise that slips. Because your replacement unit is fabricated to measurement before the visit, nearly every foggy-window job is finished in that single stop. ## Serving Decatur & Metro Atlanta We exchange failed sealed units across Decatur — the bungalow blocks of Oakhurst and the MAK district, the streets around the Square and Agnes Scott, the ranch neighborhoods north of the tracks — and throughout the metro on scheduled routes.
