What Actually Failed

Before You Sign a Replacement Contract, Find the Part

What is your window doing?

Window Doctor: what your window is doing, and which part actually failed A house wall with two windows: a double-hung window that slides up and down, and a casement window that opens with a crank. Each symptom lights up the part behind it: fog inside the lower glass of the double-hung, the plastic pivot shoes at the bottom of its sash when it won't stay up, the bottom rail and sill when the wood is soft, the crank gearbox under the casement when the handle spins free, the weatherstripping around the casement sash when it's drafty, the casement glass when it's cracked, the screen over the lower sash when its mesh is torn, and the lock on the middle rail when the window won't lock. spins, nothing moves

Diagnosis

The sealed glass unit

How a sealed glass unit fogs, from new to fogged and back A whole window with a magnifier on the edge of its lower glass unit. Day and night the gas between the panes heats and cools, the panes flex and the seal at the edge works. The butyl seal opens a hairline gap and water gets in. The desiccant inside the spacer soaks it up like a bathtub filling, while the glass still looks clear. When the tub is full, the water evaporates off the desiccant by day and settles on the inside of the glass by night, so the fog comes and goes, until it stays for good with white mineral streaks. The fix: a new sealed glass unit in the same window, clear again. the edge of the glass unit, up close room outside A new window Clear glass, sealed tight all the way around. Day and night, year after year Sun heats the gas between the panes, night cools it. The seal opens A hairline gap in the butyl. Water finds it. The tub fills The desiccant soaks it all up. The glass still looks clear. It overflows By day the water evaporates, by night it settles on the glass. Fogged for good Haze all day, white mineral streaks on the inside. We swap the glass unit Same window, a new sealed unit. Clear again. new flex opens fills overflows fogged new glass
The leak runs for years before you see it. The fog is the tub overflowing.

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.

Tap a symptom above, or a dot on the window. The part that lights up is the part we fix, not the whole window.

That's the second opinion. If the part that failed is a glass unit, a shoe, a gearbox or a lock, you don't need a new window. You need that part, at a catalog price.

Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Burlington, North Carolina metro area - Stacker

With home prices growing quickly in the Burlington metro area, now is a strategic time to maximize your property value. Home inspectors often flag things like foggy sealed glass units from $198 or sash balancers at $175, which buyers frequently use to negotiate expensive price cuts or repair credits. Fixing a rotted sash from $375 or replacing sliding door rollers from $475 is a smarter investment than letting a buyer demand a new patio door about $10,000. We can handle these repairs to keep your closing on track, and all our work comes with a 5-year written warranty.

The Business Journals

The most expensive neighborhoods in Burlington, North Carolina - WSOC TV

With some Burlington neighborhoods commanding premium prices, buyers and inspectors are looking closer than ever at the condition of every fixture. A sliding patio door that drags or jumps its track is a common red flag that sellers often dismiss as a minor annoyance, but it can signal a need for new rollers. Replacing sliding door rollers starts from $475, which is a small investment compared to the cost of a new patio door at about $10,000. We can get your door gliding smoothly again and back it up with a 5-year written warranty.

Thirty Minutes Before Five Figures
Before You Sign

The Second Opinion Burlington Replacement Quotes Deserve

A whole-house replacement pitch in Burlington runs five figures. Before that contract gets signed, it's worth thirty minutes to learn what actually failed: fogged units swap for $198, dead balancers for $175, rotted sills rebuild from $375 (sills from $475). Alamance County's older homes have solid frames that don't deserve the dumpster.

  • $198

    Fog between panes — glass-only swap

  • $175

    Sash won't stay up — balancer

  • Rotted sill or sash — rebuilt in real wood, from $375 (sills from $475)

  • Both numbers, repair and replace, on one written sheet

Rot Is Our Trade

Rotten Window Wood, Rebuilt — Not Puttied Over

Burlington's older neighborhoods know the pattern: paint peels at the sill, the wood goes soft, and a handyman smears filler over it — which rots through again in a year. We cut the decay out completely and splice in laminated wood fabricated to the original profile. The window looks untouched because everything solid stays.

  • Decay cut out to solid, healthy wood — never filled over

  • Replacement pieces fabricated to match the original

  • Sanded, primed, painted, sealed watertight

Window Repair in Burlington — FAQ

Because thirty minutes of diagnosis can save five figures. Most 'replace them all' houses have two or three genuinely tired windows and a dozen that need a $175 balancer or a $198 glass unit. We put both paths on one written sheet — repair line by line, replacement where it truly wins — and you decide with numbers.
Before We Arrive

How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
