Affordable Window Repair for Chicago's Northwest Suburbs
Affordable window repair means fixing the part that failed — the glass unit, the balance, the crank or the rotted wood — instead of paying for a whole new window. Text us a photo for a quick price range.
Why Window Repair Costs Less Than Replacement
Most of what you pay a big window company goes into a whole new window and the business of selling it.
One part, not a whole window
Most problems live in one part — a glass unit, a balance, a crank or a rotted sill. We fix that part and keep the rest of your window.
No sales commissions
Big window companies are built to sell new windows, with salespeople and showrooms to pay for. We're a small repair team, so there's no sales markup.
Honest about what's fine
If a window doesn't need work, we say so. Customers often tell us we checked every window and recommended repairs only where they were needed.
Same quality, same warranty
A lower price doesn't mean cutting corners: matched wood, quality glass units, a 3-year warranty on wood repairs and a 20-year manufacturer warranty on glass units.
Typical Window Repair Prices
Per window, compared with a typical new window installed.
Minimum service visit: $150 — several small repairs in the same visit are covered by it.

About these prices: the prices on this website are rough guides, not quotes. Every window is different, so the real price depends on what we find when we inspect it and on the repair you choose. We'll always explain your options and agree on the price with you before any work starts — and we're happy to talk through anything along the way.
What Homeowners Say About Our Prices
“They offered reasonable solutions that didn't require me to replace my windows like the other companies suggested. … Pricing was more than fair.”
“Cost to replace was $2000 a window. They came, determined they needed new springs and were able to replace and fix the windows for less than 1/10th the cost to replace them.”
“They were able to repair a window in my house rather than replace it. The cost of the repair was 1/5 of what the replacement of the window would have been.”
“Every other company I reached out to was trying to get me to replace a minimum of 2 entire windows. … I only needed the glass replaced for one window.”
“They were able to fix everything at an extremely reasonable price. I thought we were going to need new windows but after the repairs, they look brand new!”
“They did not try to take advantage of me — there were many windows where they said everything was fine.”

How to Compare Window Quotes Fairly
Four things to check before choosing on price alone.
Same scope
Make sure both quotes fix the same windows and the same problems — one quote may include work the other doesn't.
Same materials
Compare glass type (double-pane, Low-E, tempered where required) and whether wood repairs use matched, primed wood.
Everything included
Check that labor, trim, caulking, paint touch-ups and clean-up are included, not added later.
Warranty
Ask what's covered, for how long, and who handles a claim — the company or a manufacturer.
When a new window is the better deal
Sometimes replacement really is right — for example, when a window's frame has rotted through or the glass, sash and frame have all failed at once. We'll tell you that plainly. Since we don't sell new windows, we have no reason to steer you either way.
