Window & Door Repair in the Houston metro, TX
600,893 Houston-metro homes went up between 2000 and 2009 — one house in five — and their factory glass is aging into the 15-to-25-year seal-failure window right now. Haze between panes, sashes that slide down, sills going soft: each is one dead part with a printed price — glass from $198, hardware from $115, real wood from $375 — not a $1,000-per-opening replacement project.

What We Repair
Every Repair We Do in the Houston Metro
938,000 in the Window
The 2000s Cohort
One in Five Houston Homes Is a 2000s Build — and Their Windows Are Aging in Formation
America's fifth-largest metro holds 3.04 million housing units, and its biggest single slice — 600,893 homes, 19.7% — was built between 2000 and 2009. Add roughly 337,000 more from the '90s and about 938,000 Houston-area houses now sit inside the prime seal-failure window. The master-planned communities that boomed in those years — Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, The Woodlands, Pearland — were glazed by the same few suppliers in the same seasons, so entire sections reach failure age together. And the belt hasn't stopped: 52,851 single-family permits in 2024, more than any metro in the country, means today's new sections are simply the 2040s repair cohort. Every one of those failures is a stocked part: balancers $175, sealed units from $198, latches $115, real-wood rebuilds from $375.

A Houston Sealed Unit Never Gets a Day Off — Here's What Finally Quits
Take 2023 as the stress test: 45 days at or above 100°F, 23 of them consecutive, peaking at 109. A west-facing pane bakes and bows through every one of those afternoons and releases after sundown — put a sealed unit through hundreds of such flex cycles per summer and its edge seal gives out years before its northern twin. Gulf air is standing by at the first breach, and once it's in the gap, no cloth on earth reaches the haze. The sky throws hail at the panes a few times a year, and the humidity keeps every wood sill damp enough to feed rot. The fixes are surgical: a new sealed unit measured to the millimeter and dropped into the original frame from $198, cracked glass from $198, real-wood rot rebuilds from $375 — each on its own written line.
-
Haze you can't wipe from either side = failed seal → from $198
- frame untouched → from $198
Hail-cracked pane = glass cut to size
-
Damp-climate sill rot = real-wood rebuild → from $375

The Process
How Window & Door Repair Works
Katy to Kingwood, every visit plays the same four moves.
01/Pick Your City
Houston anchors the list below — or call and name your suburb; dispatch answers plainly either way.
02/Symptom → Catalog Line
Hazy, stuck, cracked, soft — plain words become a part name and a printed price before the visit.
03/Route-Day Visit
A firm date, with your sealed glass already fabricated to measurement — so one stop closes the job.
04/Operate, Verify, Warranty
You watch the window cycle and lock before we leave, and the 5-year written warranty goes on paper.

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

I had a fantastic experience with WowFix. They repaired my existing windows by cutting out rotted sashes, fashioning new ones on-site, and splicing them in. They look and work absolutely good as new!

WowFix is a great company for repairs on doors and windows. I had two rotten double-door frames that they rebuilt. They communicate well and the pricing was fair.

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.

The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
Shattered Pane, Same-Day Secure
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
Broken Glass on a Brick Ranch
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
Fog That Won't Wipe Off
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
