A simple reseal or hardware adjustment is quick and affordable; a full sash or seal replacement takes more time and materials. Older, less common window styles can also affect part availability.
We check the cheaper fix first: most sticking, drafty or won’t-stay-open windows come down to a worn balance, worn hardware or failed weatherstripping, not the window unit. We re-adjust the sash, replace worn hardware and screens, and reseal. Older or less common window styles can take longer to source parts for.
A window that sticks, won't stay open, drafts once winter sets in, or has a worn screen, seal or hardware is usually a repair, not a replacement. Condensation between the panes is different: it means the sealed unit has failed, and that's a job for a glazier.
Ottawa's swing from deep winter cold to summer heat expands and contracts window caulking and weatherstripping every year, and that movement is what breaks them down over time.
Most window complaints – sticking, won't stay open, drafty – come down to worn hardware or failed seals, not the glass itself. We check the cheaper fix first.
A cracked or fogged sealed unit needs a glazier, not a handyman – if that's what your window needs, we'll say so rather than trying to patch around it.
