Latches and locks start at $115. A sash that slams shut is a $175 balance. Fog between panes is a $198 glass unit. Rot in the sill or sash is real carpentry from $375. That's the whole secret: name the failed part, and the price names itself. - Hardware — latches, locks, cranks from $115 - Spring balances (window won't stay up) — from $175 - Foggy / broken glass units — from $198 - Rotten wood rebuilt in real wood — from $375 ## The $115–$475 Fix vs the $1,000+ Pitch Replacement companies price every symptom at $1,000+ per opening, because that's the product they sell. The honest math: almost every failure on this page is one part, one visit, under $500 — and the window your house was built with keeps doing its job.

Replacement starts around $1,000 per opening — repair usually wins by a factor of three or more. **Q: Why do window companies only quote replacement?** A: Because replacement is what they sell. A repair-first shop prices the failed part instead of the whole opening. When a frame is genuinely too far gone, our written quote says so — that honesty is why the other 90% of quotes stay under $500. Curious how the local players compare? See the [honest company comparison](/best-glass-repair-companies-charlotte/). **Q: Is there a service call fee?** A: A visit rolls into the repair price when you hire us. You get the written per-part number first, so the decision is made on arithmetic, not pressure. **Q: My windows are a discontinued brand — does that raise the price?** A: No. Balances, hardware and glass are matched by size and weight rating, not by logo. Discontinued brands are our daily work, at the same menu prices. **Q: Several windows have different problems — how is that priced?** A: Each window gets its own part-level line on one written quote, and one visit fixes the whole list. Mixed hardware-plus-glass houses are the most common job we run. ## Serving NC & Surrounding Areas Same menu, wherever our crews run — find your city below.
