What Actually Failed
Broken Glass or Something Else? Find the Part
Most urgent window calls in Raleigh are broken glass, and the pane gets replaced, not the window. But glass is one of several things that can go wrong. Tap what yours is doing:
What is your window doing?
Diagnosis
The sealed glass unit
The seal around the edge of the glass opened. Moisture got in and filled the drying beads inside the unit like a bathtub. When the tub overflowed, the fog showed up on the inside of the glass, where no cloth can reach.
We swap just the glass unit in your frame, from $198.
How foggy glass gets fixed →Diagnosis
The pivot shoe, a small plastic part
Hidden springs in the sides of the frame hold the sash up through a plastic pivot shoe. Over the years the plastic dries out and its hook breaks off, so nothing holds the sash anymore. Sometimes a sash that was forced snaps its metal pivot pin instead.
New balances and shoes, $175 a window.
Why windows won't stay up →Diagnosis
The bottom of the sash and the sill
Paint is the only armor wood has. Once it cracks, rain soaks into the flat parts at the bottom and never dries, and a fungus turns the wood soft from the inside. The top of the window stays solid.
We cut out the rot and splice in new wood: a sash from $375, a sill from $475.
How rot starts and how we fix it →Diagnosis
The crank operator, a small gearbox
On a casement window, a little gearbox under the sash turns the handle into motion. Its teeth strip with age, or all at once when a stuck window gets cranked hard. The handle spins free and the window stays put.
A new operator bolts in, $275.
More on broken cranks →Diagnosis
The weatherstripping
The soft strip around the sash flattens with age and stops touching it, so air walks right through the gap. A worn latch that no longer pulls the sash tight makes it worse.
New weatherstripping, $115 a window (3 windows minimum).
How we seal drafty windows →Diagnosis
Just the glass
A stray ball, a stone from the mower, a hard knock. The glass broke; the frame and the sash didn't.
New glass in your frame: a single pane from $164, a double-pane unit from $198.
Glass repair, every type →Diagnosis
The screen: its mesh, or its frame
Sun slowly breaks down the coating on the mesh until the strands snap instead of flexing, and it tears. Press it gently with your thumb: springy mesh only needs a wash, stiff papery mesh is done. Then look at the frame.
Frame still straight
Rescreen: new mesh in your frame
$100
Frame bent, or no screen
New screen built to size
$150
Diagnosis
The sash lock
The lock on the middle rail pulls the two sashes together. When it wears out, or the sash settles a little low, the two halves no longer meet and the window won't lock.
A new lock, $115.
Window hardware we replace →Each symptom points to one part, and that part has its own price.

When It Can't Wait
Broken Window in Raleigh? The Pane Gets Replaced, Not the Window
A stray baseball, a summer storm, a break-in attempt — suddenly there's glass on the floor and a hole in your house. What you need to know first: the pane is replaceable on its own. The frame almost always survives, and most replacement glass is built the same day we measure it.
-
Broken or cracked panes replaced — the frame stays
-
Openings secured fast while your exact glass is built
- from $198
Insulated units made to measure
-
Most glass built the same day
Not Just Emergencies
Foggy, Drafty, Stuck? Those Are Repairs Too
Not every window problem announces itself with broken glass. Fog creeping between panes, a sash that slides down on its own, a draft that shows up every winter — Raleigh homes are full of windows that don't need replacing. They need one component brought back to life.
-
Fog between panes — failed seal, glass-only swap
- $175
Sash won't stay up — balancer replacement
- $115
Winter drafts — fresh weatherstripping
- from $475
Soft wood at the sill — cut out and rebuilt

Whether it's an emergency pane or a window that's been annoying you for a year — same four steps, priced in writing.
01/Call or Book — Describe What Happened
For broken glass or anything else, the symptom in your own words is all we need to bring the right parts.
02/Secure & Diagnose

“I have three kids, and they accidentally broke the tempered glass on our door. I contacted WowFix, but I had to wait for weeks for a technician. Despite the wait, I can't complain because they offered a reasonable price, and their technician did an excellent job replacing the glass.”

Window Repair in Raleigh — FAQ
Tape plastic over the opening, call, and we book the visit by the crew's schedule. On it we take exact measurements, and most replacement units are built to size the same day and installed, from $198. You're not living with a boarded-up window for weeks.
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.
