Professional Window Sash Repair: Restore Smooth Functionality and Comfort

A window that won’t open isn’t really a window—it’s just a transparent wall. The sash is the heart of your window’s moving mechanism, and when it fails, the results range from annoying rattles to dangerous “guillotine” drops. Whether you have historic double-hung windows or modern timber frames, our professional window sash repair services are designed to restore effortless operation and eliminate energy-wasting drafts.

Don’t rush into an expensive full-frame replacement. Most sash issues are mechanical or surface-level, and with the right expertise, your original windows can perform like new for a fraction of the cost.

Common Signs Your Window Sashes Need Repair

Windows communicate their problems quite clearly if you know what to look for. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to call in the specialists:

Our Comprehensive Sash Restoration Services

We don’t just “fix” windows; we recalibrate them. Our service covers every aspect of sash functionality:

1. Sash Cord & Chain Replacement

In older homes, weights and pulleys are what make windows move. We replace frayed cotton cords with high-durability sash ropes or elegant brass chains, ensuring your windows glide open with the touch of a finger.

2. Balancing & Weight Adjustment

If your windows are difficult to lift or won’t stay level, the internal counterweights are likely mismatched. We recalibrate the weight system so the sash stays exactly where you leave it.

3. Meeting Rail & Stile Repair

The meeting rail is the most vulnerable part of a double-hung window. We repair structural damage, fix alignment issues, and ensure that the locking mechanism pulls the two sashes together for a perfect, airtight seal.

4. Weatherization & Perimeter Sealing

We install high-performance, low-profile weatherstripping into the sash channels. This eliminates those annoying rattles and significantly reduces your monthly energy bills by stopping air infiltration.

Why Repair is the Smarter Choice

Choosing sash repair over replacement is both a financial and an environmental win. Original wood sashes—especially those made from old-growth timber—are naturally more durable than modern “fast-wood” replacements. By restoring them, you preserve the architectural integrity of your home, keep high-quality materials out of the landfill, and maintain the unique character that defines your property’s value.

Our Promise: We combine traditional joinery techniques with modern sealing technology to give you windows that look historic but perform like 21st-century upgrades.

Our Proven Repair Process

  1. Detailed Assessment: We identify why the sash is failing—is it structural, mechanical, or simply a matter of friction?

  2. Safe Extraction: We carefully remove the sashes, protecting your interior trim and glass.

  3. The “Tune-Up”: We sand the tracks, replace the cords, and lubricate the pulleys.

  4. Re-Installation & Testing: We put everything back together, ensuring the sash is perfectly balanced and the locks line up precisely.
