What Actually Failed
Before Anyone Sells You a Window, Find the Part
Call most companies in Greensboro and they'll talk about new windows. Start with the symptom instead. Tap what your window is doing:
What is your window doing?
Diagnosis
The sealed glass unit
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.
How foggy glass gets fixed →Diagnosis
The pivot shoe, a small plastic part
Hidden springs in the sides of the frame hold the sash up through a plastic pivot shoe. Over the years the plastic dries out and its hook breaks off, so nothing holds the sash anymore. Sometimes a sash that was forced snaps its metal pivot pin instead.
New balances and shoes, $175 a window.
Why windows won't stay up →Diagnosis
The bottom of the sash and the sill
Paint is the only armor wood has. Once it cracks, rain soaks into the flat parts at the bottom and never dries, and a fungus turns the wood soft from the inside. The top of the window stays solid.
We cut out the rot and splice in new wood: a sash from $375, a sill from $475.
How rot starts and how we fix it →Diagnosis
The crank operator, a small gearbox
On a casement window, a little gearbox under the sash turns the handle into motion. Its teeth strip with age, or all at once when a stuck window gets cranked hard. The handle spins free and the window stays put.
A new operator bolts in, $275.
More on broken cranks →Diagnosis
The weatherstripping
The soft strip around the sash flattens with age and stops touching it, so air walks right through the gap. A worn latch that no longer pulls the sash tight makes it worse.
New weatherstripping, $115 a window (3 windows minimum).
How we seal drafty windows →Diagnosis
Just the glass
A stray ball, a stone from the mower, a hard knock. The glass broke; the frame and the sash didn't.
New glass in your frame: a single pane from $164, a double-pane unit from $198.
Glass repair, every type →Diagnosis
The screen: its mesh, or its frame
Sun slowly breaks down the coating on the mesh until the strands snap instead of flexing, and it tears. Press it gently with your thumb: springy mesh only needs a wash, stiff papery mesh is done. Then look at the frame.
Frame still straight
Rescreen: new mesh in your frame
$100
Frame bent, or no screen
New screen built to size
$150
Diagnosis
The sash lock
The lock on the middle rail pulls the two sashes together. When it wears out, or the sash settles a little low, the two halves no longer meet and the window won't lock.
A new lock, $115.
Window hardware we replace →That's the part you pay for. Each one has a catalog price, and it's almost always a fraction of a new window.

One Part Failed, Not the Window
Sound Familiar?
Every Company You Call Wants to Sell You New Windows
You've got one window acting up. You search for a window fixer, call around Greensboro — and every "free consultation" somehow turns into a quote for a whole-house replacement. Nobody wants to just fix the thing. Here's what those visits don't tell you: whatever your window is doing, it comes down to one failed part.
-
Fog between the panes — a failed glass seal, not a failed window
-
Sash drops or won't stay open — a broken balancer spring
-
Cold draft around the frame — worn-out weatherstripping
-
Soft, peeling wood at the sill — rot that can be cut out and rebuilt
The Honest Math
A Repair Costs a Fraction of What Replacement Sellers Quote
Replacement runs $1,000+ per window — a whole Greensboro house can hit five figures. The repairs that actually fix most windows are catalog-priced parts: a $175 balancer, a $115 latch, a glass unit from $198. We put the number in writing before we touch anything, and if replacement genuinely is the smarter call, we say so.
-
Catalog prices per part — no hourly meter
-
Your frames and trim stay exactly where they are
-
We repair every brand, including the ones others turn away

The Process
How Window Repair Works in Greensboro
Four steps, one visit for most jobs — from "something's wrong with this window" to a window that works like it should.
01/Tell Us the Symptom
Foggy, stuck, drafty, rattling — describe it in your own words or send a photo. You don't need to know the part names; that's what we're for.
02/On-Site Diagnosis & Written Price
We pinpoint the failed component and quote it from the catalog, in writing, before any work begins.
03/The Fix
Hardware swaps happen on the spot; glass units are built to your window's exact measurements and installed without touching the frame.
04/Test & Warranty
We run the window through its paces with you watching, then back the work with a written workmanship warranty.

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 Greensboro — FAQ
Yes — that's the whole business. No replacement quota, no upsell script. We diagnose which part failed in your window, price that part from the catalog (from $115), fix it, and leave. If you ever do want replacement, that conversation starts with you, not us.
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.
