Drafty Windows
Drafty Windows in Cary: Where the Cold Actually Gets In
Run a hand around the sash on a January evening and you'll find it: the thin cold current where weatherstripping has flattened, or the whistle where a sash no longer pulls tight because its balancer quit. Cary's 15-to-25-year-old subdivisions are prime draft territory — the parts wear out together, and they renew together in one visit.
-
Flattened weatherstripping — renewed for $115
-
Sash won't pull tight — often a $175 balancer
-
Failed glass seals leak heat too — units from $198
-
Locks that cam the sash snug — from $115
The Full Symptom List
Every Other Window Complaint Has a Part and a Price Too
Fog between panes, a sash that guillotines, a crank that spins uselessly, wood going soft at the sill — the Cary house that drafts usually has one or two of these brewing as well. One visit prices the lot: each symptom maps to a catalog part, each part to a written number.
-
Fog between panes — new sealed unit from $198
- $175
Sash slams down — balancer
- $275
Crank spins — casement operator
-
Soft sill wood — rebuilt from $475

“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.”

See It For Yourself
A Real WowFix Repair — Start to Finish
No stock footage, no actors — an actual WowFix job: a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
Window Repair in Cary — FAQ
Usually — and usually fixable for less than a dinner out per window. Flattened weatherstripping renews for $115; a sash that won't pull snug often needs a $175 balancer; a failed glass seal (the fog) leaks heat too and swaps from $198. We draft-check the room and price exactly what's leaking.
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.
