What Actually Failed
Which Part of Your Window Failed?
Atlanta's windows span a century, from pre-war double-hungs to mid-century ranches to newer condos. The symptoms are the same everywhere. Tap yours:
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 →Older double-hungs with cords and weights work a little differently: when they won't stay up, it's usually a broken sash cord. Same idea, though: one part failed, and that part gets fixed.

Three Generations of Windows
Atlanta's Punch List Spans a Century — Cords, Balancers and Condo Hardware
No other market hands us a list like intown Atlanta's. In the pre-war double-hungs of Virginia-Highland and Kirkwood, the original cotton sash cords have snapped and the cast-iron weights sit dead in their pockets — so the sashes are propped on paint cans or painted shut in surrender. In the 1950s–70s ranch belt running up through 30324 toward Chamblee and North Druid Hills, it's spring balancers that gave out, latches that no longer pull tight, and aluminum sliders grinding on dead rollers. And in the Midtown towers, casement operators and multipoint locks quietly seize from disuse. Three eras, one truth: each failure is a part, each part has a fix, and none of them requires a new window.
-
Pre-war sash won't stay up → cords and weights re-hung, quoted per window
- $175
Mid-century sash drops free → tired balancers
-
Lock spins without catching → hardware from $115
- $275
Crank grinds or spins free → operator swap
The Wedge
Walk the House Once, Fix Everything Once — and Route the Rest to Specialists
Intown visits run on scheduled metro routes, so the arithmetic favors the whole-house pass: while the truck is at your bungalow anyway, the same stop re-hangs the stuck sash, frees the painted-shut bedroom window, swaps the dead balancers in the back addition and re-seats every lazy latch — each at its printed catalog price, one trip charge for the lot. When the walk-through finds a problem that belongs to a specialist line, it routes cleanly instead of getting improvised: mist sealed inside the glass is a sealed-unit swap from $198, a cracked pane is made-to-measure glass from $198, and a soft sill is a real-wood rebuild from $475. One company, one written sheet, no hand-waving.

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.

Window Repair in Atlanta — FAQ
Very — and it's satisfying work. The cast-iron weights are almost always still sitting in their pockets behind the jamb; we open the access panels, re-hang the sashes on fresh cord or chain, and the windows glide the way they did when Virginia-Highland was new. Quoted per window on one written sheet, and painted-shut sashes get freed in the same visit.
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.
