What Actually Failed
Which Part Is Wearing Out?
Houston built a huge number of homes in the same couple of decades, and their window parts are wearing out together: balances, latches, cranks, weatherstripping. Tap what yours 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

Frame bent, or no screen

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.

Parts Wear Out. Windows Don't.
The Hardware Clock
A Million Builder-Boom Windows Are Wearing Out on the Same Schedule
Houston built like nowhere else in America — 600,893 homes went up between 2000 and 2009 alone, the metro's largest cohort, on top of some 337,000 from the nineties, and the region still pulls more permits than any metro in the country. Those master-planned streets — Copperfield, Kingwood, Clear Lake and their hundred siblings — were glazed and hardware'd from the same builder pallets, which means the parts hit retirement together. The spiral balances that hold a sash up fatigue faster when 100°F attic-side heat anneals their springs; vinyl latches get brittle in the same sun; two decades of cooling-season heat cycles crush weatherstrip flat. It reads like a house falling apart. It's actually a parts list — and every part has a printed price.

Sash free-falls or won't stay open → spent balances

The Wedge
The Whole-House Pass: One Route Stop, Every Broken Part, One Sheet
Houston visits run on scheduled service routes, which makes the smart play obvious: batch everything. The same stop that rescues the kitchen sash can re-spring every tired balance in the house, swap brittle latches room by room, and lay fresh weatherstrip where the summer bills leak out — each line at its catalog price, one trip charge for all of it. When the walk-through finds something that belongs to a specialist, it hands off without upsell theater: haze sealed inside the glass goes to a from-$198 unit swap, a cracked pane to made-to-measure glass from $198, a soft sill to a real-wood rebuild from $475. One company, one sheet of paper — and the $1,000+ per-opening replacement pitch never enters the room.

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 Houston — FAQ
The balances — the spring mechanisms that counterweight the sash. Houston heat is hard on them: the hotter the frame runs, the faster the springs fatigue, and builder-grade balances weren't generous to begin with. Prop the window closed until service (a free-falling sash breaks fingers and glass) and have them swapped at $175 — usually alongside whatever else is on your list that visit.
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.
