The Window Is Fine. The Springs Quit.
The Guillotine Window
Half a Century On, Dunwoody's Original Double-Hungs Are Running on Dead Springs
The brick colonials of Dunwoody Club Estates, Redfield and The Branches went up in the 1970s and early '80s with honest wood double-hung windows — and a remarkable number of those originals are still in their openings today. What's quit isn't the window; it's the mechanism hidden inside the jamb. Spiral and block-and-tackle balances lose their spring tension after four or five decades, and the older rope-and-pulley sashes fray their cords — so the sash you lift comes crashing down the moment you let go. Homeowners call it the guillotine window, and around here it's practically a rite of passage. Add settled foundations that pull lock keepers out of line and paint layers that glue sashes into their tracks, and you get a house full of windows that technically work and practically don't.

The Wedge
Your 1978 Window Deserves Better Than a Vinyl Funeral
Replacement crews look at a fifty-year-old wood window and see a tear-out ticket at $1,000+ per opening. We see a frame of real lumber — tighter grain than anything sold today — that needs maybe $175 worth of new balances and a $115 lock to run like it did under the first owner. Because the mechanism is a commodity part matched by measurement, not by brand, we service the originals no matter who milled them. And when the visit turns up something outside the hardware bench — fog trapped in a retrofit glass unit, a cracked pane, a soft sill on the shady side — it moves to the right specialist line on the same written sheet: sealed units from $198, glass from $198, wood rebuilds from $375. One scheduled visit, one quote, and the house keeps the windows it was designed around.

The Process
How Window Repair Works in Dunwoody
Every stuck, slamming, drafty window on one list — cleared in a single scheduled visit.
01/Tell Us What Each Window Does
Falls shut, sticks halfway, won't lock, whistles — plain descriptions are all dispatch needs to map your house to catalog lines and load the truck right.
02/Get a Firm Route Date
Dunwoody sits on our scheduled metro-Atlanta routes, so you get a real appointment date from dispatch — not a window of maybes.
03/Work the House, Window by Window
Balances swapped, cords re-rigged, locks re-aligned, tracks freed and weatherstrip renewed — each item at its printed price on one written quote.
04/Prove It and Warranty It
You watch every repaired sash glide, hold and lock before we leave, and the work carries a 5-year written 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 Dunwoody — FAQ
The balance system — the hidden springs (or, in older sashes, the cords and weights) that carry the sash's weight. After forty-plus years the tension is simply gone, so the full weight free-falls. Prop it closed for now: a dropping sash pinches fingers and cracks glass. New balances run $175 per window, fitted into the original jamb without touching the frame or trim.
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.
