Foggy sealed units, cracked glass, torn screens, failed cranks and drafts — fixed fast and honestly. If a repair only buys you a year or two, we tell you, so you can decide between repair and replacement.
When a sealed unit fogs, the seal failed — not the whole window. Moisture has worked its way between the panes and the argon fill is gone, but the frame and sash are usually fine. In most cases we replace just the sealed glass unit or a cracked pane and keep your existing frame, which costs a fraction of a full window and restores both the view and the insulation in one visit.
We also fix the things that make a window hard to live with: torn or bent screens, seized or broken cranks, locks and balances, and worn weatherstripping and the drafts that come with it. Small fixes like these often make an old window feel new again for a modest price.
And when glass breaks, we board up on an emergency basis to secure and weatherproof the home fast, then measure for the replacement glass. If a repair will only buy you a year or two, or the frame itself is rotted, we tell you honestly and give you the replacement number too — no upsell, just the option that makes sense for your window.

Foggy glass, cost, emergencies and when to replace instead.
Usually, yes. Fog between the panes means the sealed glass unit has failed — the edge seal let go and the insulating gas escaped — but the frame and sash are typically still sound. In most cases we replace just that sealed unit and keep your existing frame, which costs far less than a full window replacement and clears the view in a single visit. We measure the unit, order the matching glass package, and swap it in once it arrives. If several units in the same wall have fogged, we will lay out repair-versus-replace so you can weigh it.
Yes. If a window is broken we can board it up quickly to secure your home and keep the weather out, which matters most in a Portage Ave winter when an open pane means frozen pipes and huge heat loss. Once the opening is safe we measure for the replacement glass or, if the frame is damaged, for a new window, and we give you the quote before any further work. Board-up is the fast first step to protect the house; the permanent fix follows once the glass or unit is in.
It depends on what failed and how old the window is. If the frame is sound and only the glass, seal or hardware has gone, repair is almost always the smart, cheaper move. If the frame is rotted, warped or drafty and the window is single-pane, the money is usually better spent on a replacement that pays back every winter. We look at the actual condition at your place — not a script — and give you both numbers honestly so you can decide, whether that is a modest fix now or a planned replacement down the road.
It depends on the fix. Simple jobs like a new screen, a crank or a lock are modest and often done on the spot. Sealed-unit glass replacement depends on the size of the unit and the glass package — double- or triple-pane, Low-E, tempered or obscure — and larger or specialty glass costs more. Emergency board-up is priced separately from the permanent repair. Whatever the job, we quote it before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice and you can approve the number first.
Yes — if a window is broken we board it up quickly to secure and weatherproof the home, then replace the glass or unit once it arrives.
Book a window-repair visit anywhere across Portage Ave and the surrounding towns — foggy glass, drafts, broken panes, failed cranks or torn screens, fixed fast and quoted upfront. If a repair is not worth it, we will tell you honestly and give you the replacement number too, with no pressure either way.
