Three Failures, Two Columns
Repair or Replace?
Most 'Dead' Double-Hungs Are Two Cheap Parts From Alive
Know the double-hung's three famous failures: sashes that won't stay up (balancers, $175), locks that miss (latches, $115), and fog between the panes (glass units, from $198). Every one is a repair, and a double-hung under fifteen years old almost always deserves that route first — we'll price it in front of you. Replacement earns its place when frames have warped, wood has rotted through, or the window was low-grade the day it was installed and every part of it shows it.
-
Sash drops — balancer $175 · lock misses — latch $115
-
Fog between panes — new sealed unit from $198
-
Warped frames and through-rot — honest replacement territory
-
Both columns priced in the same free written estimate
A Better Double-Hung
What Separates a Good New Double-Hung From a Cheap One
From the street they look identical; ten years of use tells them apart. A quality double-hung carries a balance system rated for decades instead of seasons, sashes that tilt in so second-floor glass cleans from inside, an insulated glass package with real Low-E, and reinforced meeting rails that keep the lock lined up year after year. Those are exactly the corners the bargain window cuts — invisibly, until the sash starts slamming in year six. We install the version that doesn't.

“I have three kids, and they accidentally broke the tempered glass on our door. I contacted WowFix, but I had to wait for weeks for a technician. Despite the wait, I can't complain because they offered a reasonable price, and their technician did an excellent job replacing the glass.”

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.
Double-Hung Window Replacement in Garner — FAQ
Not yet, most likely — sashes that won't hold are the signature of dead balancers, a $175-per-window repair, not a structural verdict. The free assessment tests every window: if the frames are straight and the wood is sound, the repair column wins by thousands. Replacement enters honestly when the frames themselves are done.
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.
