Window Repair in Edmonds
A foggy pane, a sash that slams shut or a crank that spins and does nothing. Most of the time the frame is fine and a part has failed. We find that part, fix it, and tell you straight if a repair won't last.
Fix the Part, Keep the Window
Not every bad window has to come out. Many problems live in one piece: a failed glass seal, a worn balance, a stripped operator, a rotted corner of the sill. Swap or rebuild that piece and the window works again.
Older houses make this harder. A lot of windows have been patched before, sometimes with caulk smeared over rot or a balance borrowed from another brand. Some parts haven't been made in decades. We look at what is really there, find a match or a solid substitute, and show you photos of what we found.
If a new window is the smarter spend, we'll tell you and explain why. Then the choice is yours, and there's no push either way.
Repairs We Handle
Foggy glass units
A double-pane unit has a seal around its edge. Once that seal breaks, damp air works its way inside and clouds the glass. We measure the opening, have a new sealed unit built, and set it into the sash you already have.
Balances, cranks and locks
Spiral and block balances wear out, so the sash drops or won't stay up. We also replace casement cranks, hinges, locks and handles. For older windows we match the part or adapt a current one to fit.
Wood sash and sill repair
Soft wood gets cut back to sound material, then filled with epoxy or a new wood splice. We reglaze loose putty and leave the surface ready for paint.
Drafts and seals
Worn weatherstripping gets replaced. Gaps around the outside of the frame get cleaned out and resealed with a sealant that stays flexible.
Sliders and tracks
Old aluminum and vinyl sliders grind when the rollers go. We clean the track and put in new rollers so the window glides again.
Undoing old fixes
We pull out the nails, screws and paint that seal windows shut, and clear away caulk that is hiding a bigger problem.
When a Window Is Asking for Repair
Fog you can't wipe off
Cloudy glass that stays cloudy no matter which side you clean means the seal between the panes has given out. Only the glass unit has to be swapped, and the window itself can stay.
The sash won't stay put
A window that drops, slams or needs a stick to hold it open has a worn balance or broken cord.
Soft or dark wood
Push a screwdriver tip against the sill or the bottom rail. When the wood gives like a sponge, moisture has been soaking in for months or longer. Our long, wet winters only make that worse.
Drafts you can feel
Cold air at the edges or a whistle on windy days points to worn weatherstripping or a gap in the outside seal.
Painted or stuck shut
Older windows often got painted closed years ago. That matters for fresh air and for getting out in a fire.
How a Repair Goes
- 1
You call us
Tell us which windows and what they are doing. We set a time to come look.
- 2
We inspect and write it up
We check the glass, hardware, wood and seals, take photos, and give you a written estimate with each repair listed. No pressure to sign.
- 3
We order parts
Sealed glass units are made to size, so they take some time to arrive. For older windows we track down a matching part or a fit that works.
- 4
Repair day
We lay drop cloths, do the work, test every window we touched, and clean up before we leave. Most repairs happen from outside or right at the window, so the rest of your home stays as it was.
What Moves the Price
A repair often costs less than a new window, but not every time. The price comes down to what broke and how easy it is to reach. You get a written estimate with every repair on its own line, so nothing is lumped together.
- Type of repair
- New weatherstripping is a small job next to a custom sealed glass unit. Rot repair depends on how far the damage has spread into the wood.
- Parts for older windows
- Common parts are easy to get. Discontinued balances or operators can take longer to find or adapt.
- Access
- Upper floor windows may need ladders or extra setup, and that adds time.
- How many windows
- Fixing several windows in one visit costs less per window than separate trips.
Window Repair Questions
Something not covered here? (425) 517-3592
Should I repair my old windows or replace them?
If the frame is sound and one part has failed, repair usually makes sense. If several windows have rot, failed seals and worn hardware all at once, window replacement can be the better buy. We'll show you what we found and give you both options when both are real.
Can you fix just the foggy glass?
Yes. We replace the sealed glass unit and keep your frame and sash. The unit is made to size, so we measure first and come back to install it.
My windows are old. Can you still get parts?
Often, yes. When the exact part is gone, we look for a current part that fits or adapt one. If nothing will work safely, we tell you.
Is the repair work covered?
Yes. Our work comes with a 10-year workmanship warranty. We go over what it covers before any work starts.
Do you offer payment options?
We have flexible payment options. Ask about them when you call and we'll walk you through them.
