# Window Repair in Garner, NC > The builder's warranty expired years ago, the manufacturer points at 'labor', and the window still won't stay up. **We're who you call after the warranties stop caring — repairs from $115.** **From $115 · 4.9 · 473+ reviews** ## Your Builder's Warranty Was One Year. Your Windows Weren't. Garner's newer subdivisions all live the same timeline: year one, the builder fixes things. Year five or eight, the first [balancer](/repair/sash-balancer-replacement/) dies, [a unit fogs up](/foggy-window/), a latch stops catching — and suddenly nobody's phone rings through. The builder's obligation ended long ago; the window manufacturer's paper warranty, if it covers anything, covers parts and not the labor to install them. That gap is exactly where we live: diagnose the failure, supply the part, install it, warranty the work — from $115 a line. - Builder gone, manufacturer pointing at 'labor'? That's our lane - Balancers $175 · latches $115 · fogged units from $198 - Any brand the builder used — no dealer runaround - Our own 5-year workmanship warranty on the repair ## 'Window Replacement' Searches Usually End at a $175 Part When the first windows in a young house fail, the search reflex says 'replacement' — but a seven-year-old window is a healthy window with a dead component.

Is that normal or did we get a bad build?** A: Frustratingly normal. Production homes get production-grade hardware, and its working life is measured in single-digit years — the frames and glass around it are built for decades. Your house isn't failing; its smallest moving parts are retiring on schedule, and they swap for $115–$175 each. **Q: The window brand has a 'lifetime warranty'. Why won't anyone honor it?** A: Read the fine print and you'll usually find it covers the part, prorated, shipped to you — not the diagnosis, not the labor, not the trip. That's why the phone tree goes nowhere. We skip the tree: we stock or source the part, install it the same visit where possible, and back the whole repair with our own written five-year workmanship warranty. **Q: I searched 'window replacement Garner' — are you telling me I don't need it?** A: If your windows are under about fifteen years old, probably not. What fails first is hardware and seals — catalog repairs from $115. Replacement at $1,000+ per opening makes sense for windows that are genuinely done, and when that's the honest verdict, our written comparison will say so and our window replacement page covers how we do it right. **Q: One unit fogged up between the panes at year six. Builder-grade glass too?** A: Seal quality varies, and a six-year fog is on the early side — but the fix doesn't care about the backstory: a new insulated unit built to measure with aluminum spacers and butyl seals goes into the same frame from $198, and ours are built to outlast the original. **Q: Can you handle whatever brand the builder happened to install?** A: Yes — that's most of our Garner work. Builder-grade windows cluster around a handful of hardware patterns, our truck stocks the common ones, and the glass we fabricate to measurement regardless of the sticker on the frame. No brand has stumped the bench yet. **Q: How fast can you get to Garner?** A: Within days — Garner is minutes off our Raleigh routes. Most post-warranty repairs are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit. ## Serving Garner & Southern Wake County Garner's subdivisions came up in waves, and their windows age in the same waves — southern Wake sits minutes off our Raleigh routes, so post-warranty calls book fast.
