What Actually Failed
Original Parts, Fifty Years On: Find Which One
Kingwood's oldest villages still have window parts from makers that are long gone. When one gives out, it's still just a part. 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
$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 →Discontinued doesn't mean unfixable. Balances and operators are matched by size and type, not by brand.

Fifty-Year Hardware
Does Houston's Senior Master-Plan Still Run on Its Original Window Parts?
Trailwood welcomed its first families in 1971 — which makes Kingwood's founding villages older than almost every master-planned street in the region, and means an enormous amount of its window hardware has been working since Nixon was in office. Spiral balances lose their spring tension a little every year; fifty Texas summers of hot-frame cycling finish the job. Latches cast by companies that dissolved in the eighties crack along mold lines. Weatherstrip compressed through five decades of cooling seasons stops sealing anything. And Kingwood adds a failure mode most towns never see: the waterline. Hardware that went under in 2017 — balance springs, pivot bars, steel lock bodies on the flooded streets — got a dose of river water that no wipe-down reaches. The corrosion works from the inside, which is why a window that 'survived the flood fine' starts grinding, sticking or dropping its sash years later. None of this is a failing house. It's a parts list, and every part carries a printed price.

Latch or lock turns without engaging → hardware from $115

Casement crank slips or grinds → $275

One Visit, Whole House
Why Batch the List? Every Worn Part Fixed in One Scheduled Stop
Because Kingwood rides scheduled service routes, the arithmetic favors doing everything at once. The same stop that catches the dropping kitchen sash can re-tension or replace every tired balance in the house, swap the brittle latches room by room, renew the weatherstrip that's been feeding your summer bills to the backyard, and inspect the hardware on any window that stood in floodwater before it fails at 2 a.m. in a storm. Each item lands on its own catalog line — $115, $175, $275 — on one written sheet with one trip charge. And when the walk-through turns up work that belongs to a specialist, it routes there honestly instead of upselling: haze sealed inside the glass goes to a from-$198 unit exchange, a shattered pane to made-to-measure glass, a soft sill to a real-wood rebuild from $475. Nobody mentions $1,000+ replacement windows, because nothing about a worn latch justifies them.

The Process
How Window Repair Works in Kingwood
Write the list, take the date, clear the list, warranty it — one pass through the house.
01/Note Every Misbehaving Window
Walk the house and jot symptoms in plain language — slams shut, won't latch, hisses air, hazes over, feels soft. Each phrase maps to a catalog line.
02/Get Your Route Date
Dispatch books a firm Houston-metro appointment in advance and stocks the truck against your specific list — hardware pulled by spec, glass fabricated ahead when needed.
03/Work the Whole List
Balances, latches, locks, cranks, weatherstrip and screens serviced room by room, every line priced from the printed catalog on one written sheet.
04/Prove It & Warranty It
Each serviced window opens, closes and locks in front of you before we leave — then the job goes under a 5-year written workmanship warranty.

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 Kingwood — FAQ
Yes — extinct makers are our daily bread in towns this age. Balances, latches, pivot bars and operators are identified by measurement, gauge and spec, not by a logo that vanished forty years ago, and glass is always fabricated to the opening rather than ordered by brand. A dead manufacturer complicates nothing but nostalgia; the mechanism is still just a mechanism with a modern equivalent from $115.
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.
