Which Part of Your Window Failed?

What is your window doing?

Window Doctor: what your window is doing, and which part actually failed A house wall with two windows: a double-hung window that slides up and down, and a casement window that opens with a crank. Each symptom lights up the part behind it: fog inside the lower glass of the double-hung, the plastic pivot shoes at the bottom of its sash when it won't stay up, the bottom rail and sill when the wood is soft, the crank gearbox under the casement when the handle spins free, the weatherstripping around the casement sash when it's drafty, the casement glass when it's cracked, the screen over the lower sash when its mesh is torn, and the lock on the middle rail when the window won't lock. spins, nothing moves

Diagnosis

The sealed glass unit

How a sealed glass unit fogs, from new to fogged and back A whole window with a magnifier on the edge of its lower glass unit. Day and night the gas between the panes heats and cools, the panes flex and the seal at the edge works. The butyl seal opens a hairline gap and water gets in. The desiccant inside the spacer soaks it up like a bathtub filling, while the glass still looks clear. When the tub is full, the water evaporates off the desiccant by day and settles on the inside of the glass by night, so the fog comes and goes, until it stays for good with white mineral streaks. The fix: a new sealed glass unit in the same window, clear again. the edge of the glass unit, up close room outside A new window Clear glass, sealed tight all the way around. Day and night, year after year Sun heats the gas between the panes, night cools it. The seal opens A hairline gap in the butyl. Water finds it. The tub fills The desiccant soaks it all up. The glass still looks clear. It overflows By day the water evaporates, by night it settles on the glass. Fogged for good Haze all day, white mineral streaks on the inside. We swap the glass unit Same window, a new sealed unit. Clear again. new flex opens fills overflows fogged new glass
The leak runs for years before you see it. The fog is the tub overflowing.

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.

The classic one is a double-hung that won't stay up: the pivot shoe that holds the sash. The window around it is fine.

Greensboro Inventory Surges as Prices Slip and Homes Sit Longer - Realtor.com

With more inventory hitting the market and homes sitting longer, sellers in High Point now face more scrutiny from buyers. A home inspector will often flag foggy sealed glass units (from $198), rotted sills (from $475), or sash balancers that fail ( $175), which often leads to repair credits or price cuts far exceeding the cost of the fix. Replacing a single wood window can cost about $2,000, but we can resolve these specific issues for a fraction of that price. Contact us to get on our crew's schedule for a professional tune-up before you list.

Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in North Carolina - Stacker

With home prices growing across North Carolina, High Point buyers should look closely at windows and doors during walkthroughs to avoid overestimating repair costs in their offers. Many issues are simply failed parts rather than the need for a new vinyl window at $1,000+ or a new patio door about $10,000. For example, a window that won't stay up usually just needs a sash balancer for $175, and foggy glass units start from $198. We can help you price these items honestly, from a $115 window latch or lock to sliding door rollers from $475.

High Point tops Southeast in homebuyer searches, while Triad rental interest cools - The Business Journals

With High Point leading homebuyer searches in the Southeast, first impressions during walkthroughs are more important than ever. Home inspectors always flag fog or haze between double-pane glass, a failed seal that sellers often underestimate but buyers see as a red flag. Instead of spending $1,000+ for a new vinyl window or about $2,000 for wood, we replace the foggy or broken sealed glass unit starting from $198. Most units are built the same day using our patent-pending mobile glass process and come with a 5-year written warranty.

Double-hung window sash held open after WowFix balancer replacement in a High Point home
The Sash Stays Where You Put It
Double-Hung Windows

Double-Hung Won't Stay Up or Stuck Shut? That's the Balancer

The classic double-hung failure in High Point homes: the sash slams down the second you let go, or it's stuck shut entirely. Inside the frame there's a spring mechanism — the balancer — that carries the sash's weight, and when it snaps, the window stops behaving. It's a $175 part, not a $2,000 window.

  • $175

    Sash won't stay up / slams shut — balancer

  • Stuck shut or painted shut — freed cleanly, hardware serviced

  • Won't lock or keeper won't line up — latches from $115

  • Won't tilt in for cleaning — tilt latches repaired

Casement Windows

Casement Crank Just Spins? The Operator Is Repairable

Casement windows fail at the crank: the handle spins but the sash barely moves, grinds halfway, or won't close that last inch. That's the operator — the gear mechanism the crank drives — and we replace it for $275, on any brand, Andersen and Pella included. In a furniture town like High Point, nobody should be told to throw away a good wood window over a worn gear.

  • $275

    Crank spins, grinds or won't turn — operator

  • Handle fell off or stripped — replaced same visit

  • Hinges sagging so the sash won't close — realigned

Window Repair in High Point — FAQ

Don't force it — a jammed double-hung usually means a failed balancer, swollen wood or paint bonding the sash, and prying cracks the glass or the rail. We free it cleanly, replace the balancer if that's the cause ($175), and the window moves like it should again.
Before We Arrive

How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
