Small Machines, Fixable Parts
Weights, Ropes & Paint
Somewhere Inside Your Decatur Wall, a Cast-Iron Weight Is Waiting
The double-hungs in Oakhurst, Winnona Park and the MAK district were engineered like small machines: each sash counterbalanced by cast-iron weights riding hidden channels, connected by cotton cords over brass pulleys. The weights are still down there — iron doesn't quit — but the cords do. When one snaps, the sash slams or jams, and the usual family workaround is a stick propping the window open or a decision never to open it again. Add three or four generations of repaints gluing sashes into their tracks, and half of historic Decatur can't open the very windows those porches were designed around. North of the tracks, the midcentury ranches skip the romance and fail the modern way: spring balances that sag, latches that spin, weatherstrip crushed flat by decades of Georgia summers.
-
Sash slams down or hangs crooked → snapped counterweight cord

Window won't budge at all → painted or swollen shut
- $175
Ranch-era sash creeps down on its own → tired balances
-
Lock spins without gripping → hardware from $115
The Wedge
A Window That Worked for 100 Years Can Work for 100 More
The replacement pitch leans on a false choice: live with stuck windows or spend $1,000+ per opening tearing them out. The third option is the one the pitch skips — service the machine. Cords get re-run over their original pulleys, weights re-hung, sashes freed from paint, meeting rails re-aligned, locks and lifts renewed from $115. Ranch-era windows get modern spring balances at $175 and crank service at $275. And because every visit rides a scheduled metro-Atlanta route, the smart play is the whole-house pass: one truck, every sticking or slamming window on one written sheet. Where the diagnosis belongs to a specialist — fog sealed inside the glass, a shattered pane, decay in the sill — it hands off to its own catalog line: sealed units from $198, glass to measure from $198, real-wood rot rebuilds from $375.

The Process
How Window Repair Works in Decatur
Walk the house, get a date, fix the list — century sashes and ranch double-hungs on the same written sheet.
01/List What Each Window Does Wrong
Won't open, won't stay up, slams, rattles, won't lock, leaks air — plain words are enough. Each symptom maps to a catalog line before the visit.
02/Get a Firm Route Date
Dispatch books your appointment on the scheduled metro-Atlanta route and the truck arrives stocked against your list — cords, balances, locks, weatherstrip.
03/Work the House, Window by Window
Counterweights re-hung, sashes freed and eased, balances swapped, hardware renewed — each item at its printed price on a single written quote.
04/Prove It & Warranty It
Every repaired window is opened, closed and locked in front of you before we leave, and the work carries a written 5-year workmanship warranty.

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 Decatur — FAQ
Yes — it's one of the most satisfying repairs we do. The cast-iron weights are almost always still sitting in their wall pockets; only the cords gave out. We open the access pockets, re-run new cord over the original pulleys, re-hang the weights, and the sash glides on the same engineering it was born with. Balance and cord work runs $175 per the catalog, window by window.
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.
