Between the established parts of Daleville and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

- Fogging between the panesThe insulated glass seal has failed and moisture is inside the unit.

- The window is painted shutCommon on older wood windows and reversible with careful work.
- The sash will not stay upFailed balances or a broken sash cord on an older window.

The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
Sun breaks down the edge seal of insulated glass units and the vinyl in window weatherstrip, which is why south and west facing windows fog and leak air years before north facing ones do.
Windows are designed to collect water in the frame and drain it out through weep holes, and blocked weeps during heavy rain is the standard reason water appears on an interior sill.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Daleville summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Daleville: sun and heat load and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Establish the type before the faultDouble hung, casement, slider, awning and fixed all fail differently, and the diagnosis follows the type.
- Test the moving parts independentlySash movement, locking and sealing each get checked separately so we know which one has failed.
- Check the drainageWeep holes and sill drainage get checked on any window with water intrusion, because that is usually the cause.
- Be clear where replacement is rightWhere a frame is rotted through or a unit is obsolete, we say so plainly instead of selling a repair that will not hold. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- Reseal properlyNew weatherstrip and glazing seals so the window performs as it should.
- Test operation and lock engagementThe sash should move with light effort, stay where it is put, and lock without being pulled into position.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Daleville: questions we get asked
Can painted-shut windows be opened again?
Usually yes, with care. It takes patience to cut the paint seal without damaging the sash or the stops, but old windows in Daleville homes are often perfectly serviceable once freed.
Why will my window not lock anymore?
The sash has dropped or shifted, so the lock and keeper no longer meet. Forcing it can break the lock, and the actual fix is usually alignment rather than new hardware.
How do I stop condensation on my windows in winter?
Some of it is indoor humidity rather than the window. But if the glass surface is cold enough to condense heavily, the unit may have failed. In Daleville it is worth checking whether the moisture is on the surface or between the panes.
Can foggy windows be repaired?
The sealed glass unit gets replaced, but the frame, sash and hardware stay. That is the repair, and it costs a fraction of window replacement.
How long does window repair take?
Balance, hardware and screen work is usually under an hour per window. Glass unit replacement takes a measuring visit and then a fitting visit once the unit is made.
My casement crank spins without moving the window. Why?
The gears in the operator have stripped. It is a common failure and a straightforward replacement as long as we can identify the manufacturer.
