# Weatherstripping & Hardware Repair in Clayton, NC > The draft under the door and the whistle at the window are the same disease: **dead seals — renewed professionally from $115.** Locks and balancers ride the same visit. **From $115 · 4.9 · 473+ reviews** ## Professional Weatherstripping Beats the Hardware-Store Roll Everyone in Clayton has tried the peel-and-stick foam: one season of relief, then it flattens, peels and gums up the sash. Professional weatherstripping is a different product — profile-matched to your window or door's actual channel, seated mechanically, sealing the way the factory intended. Windows from $115, doors $175, and the drafts actually stop. - Window weatherstripping — $115 (three-window minimum) - Door perimeter seals — $175 - Profile-matched to the channel, not glued to the face - Summer cooling and winter heating both feel it ## While the Seals Go In, the Hardware Gets Honest Too A drafty window is often a loose window: a latch that doesn't cam the sash tight, [a balancer that lets it ride low](/repair/sash-balancer-replacement/), a keeper out of line. The seal visit doubles as a hardware visit — every latch, lock and balancer checked and priced from the catalog, so the window closes tight enough for the new seals to matter. - Latches and cam locks — $115 - Balancers — $175 · casement cranks — $275 - Keepers aligned so sashes pull snug ## How Seal & Hardware Repair Works in Clayton One walkthrough finds every leak; one visit fixes most of them. - **The Draft Walkthrough** — Every window and exterior door checked — seals, latches, balancers — because leaks cluster and drafts lie about their source. - **Written Price by Line** — Window strips $115, door seals $175, hardware $115–$275 — each opening on its own line before work starts. - **Seals & Hardware Together** — Strips seated in their channels, latches and balancers brought back to spec — most homes finish the same day. - **Close Test & Warranty** — Every serviced opening cycled and checked, backed by a written workmanship warranty. ## How Much Do Seals & Hardware Cost in Clayton?

Store foam sticks to the face and lasts a season; professional strips are profile-matched to your window or door's channel and seat mechanically — sealing the way the assembly was engineered to. $115 for windows (three minimum), $175 for doors, and the difference shows on the next power bill. **Q: The draft under the front door could audition for a horror film. Fix?** A: Door perimeter seals plus the sweep — $175, one visit. If the door has also sagged (they usually travel together), the hinges get set right in the same appointment so the new seals actually meet the frame. **Q: Why do you do hardware and seals together?** A: Because seals only work on windows that close tight. A worn latch or dead balancer leaves the sash riding loose, and the best strip in the world can't seal a gap that moves. The walkthrough checks both, and the written quote separates them line by line. **Q: One window whistles in every storm. Whole-house job or just that one?** A: Start with the walkthrough — whistles usually mean one bad seal but rarely only one. You choose from the written sheet: just the whistler, or every opening that failed the check. Three-window minimum on strips keeps the visit worthwhile. **Q: Do you handle the bigger stuff if you find it — fog, rot, broken glass?** A: Same truck, same catalog: fogged units from $198, rotted wood from $375, panes built to size. Nothing gets upsold — it goes on the sheet with a price and the decision stays yours. **Q: How fast do you get to Clayton?** A: Johnston County rides the Triangle rotation — most visits book within days, and seal-and-hardware jobs finish same-day. ## Serving Clayton & Johnston County Clayton, Garner, Archer Lodge and the 27520 — Johnston County rides our Triangle routes, so seal-and-hardware visits book fast.
