Trusted Window Repair Nationwide
Window repair from Hale Windows & Doors typically costs $85 – $420 depending on the problem, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. We put a written price in your hands before any work starts, and every repair is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (252) 675-6980 to schedule your free estimate.
Since 2009, we’ve fixed thousands of windows for homeowners who want the job done right the first time. We’re independently owned and operated as part of the Threshold Group, not a franchise or corporate chain. Our technicians are background-checked, identity-verified, and photo-badged under the Threshold Standard. You’ll receive their name and photo before they arrive, so you know exactly who is at your door. We service eight professional-grade product lines including CWS and ECO Window Systems, which means we can source the right part instead of forcing a generic fix. Live phone support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail, no callback queue.
Window Screen Repair
Window Screen Repair fixes torn mesh, bent frames, and damaged spline that let insects and debris into your home. Most homeowners notice the problem after a storm, a pet scratch, or years of sun exposure weakening the fiberglass. At Hale, we match your existing frame color and mesh type, then rescreen or replace the entire unit. A standard rescreen runs $45 – $85 per window; full frame replacement is $75 – $150.
Mesh Options We Carry
We stock standard fiberglass, pet-resistant heavy-duty mesh, and solar-blocking screens that cut heat gain by up to 65%. Your technician will measure on-site and cut to fit, so there’s no gap or wrinkle.
Frame and Corner Repair
Aluminum frames bend easily from impact or improper removal. We straighten minor bends or replace the frame entirely, including new corners and spline, so the screen snaps back into place securely.
Double Pane Window Repair
Double Pane Window Repair addresses fogging, condensation between glass layers, and broken seals that destroy the insulating air gap. You’ll see a milky haze or water droplets you can’t wipe away. We replace the insulated glass unit (IGU) while preserving your existing frame, which costs $180 – $340 per sash versus $600 – $1,200 for full window replacement. Hale works with ES Windows and other manufacturers to match your original glass specifications.
Low-E Coating Matching
Modern double-pane units include low-E glass, a thin metallic coating that blocks heat while letting light through. We identify your existing coating type and order the matching replacement so your energy performance stays consistent.
Argon Gas Fill
Quality IGUs include argon gas between panes for insulation. We verify the seal integrity and specify argon-filled replacements from our supplier network, not air-filled shortcuts that cost you efficiency.
Window Repair Company
Window Repair Company describes a specialist firm that diagnoses and fixes window problems rather than pushing full replacement. Many general contractors lack the parts relationships and technical depth to repair modern windows correctly. Hale focuses exclusively on windows and doors, offering our Window Repair in Los Angeles with direct access to components from CWS, ECO Window Systems, and six other professional lines. Our diagnostic visit is free, and the written quote you receive is the price you pay.
Why Specialist Depth Matters
Window hardware spans dozens of operating systems: single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, sliding, and tilt-turn. A company that also roofs and paints won’t stock the balance shoes, pivot bars, and tilt latches we carry on every truck.
The Hale Difference in Hiring
Every technician meets the Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, photo-badged, and pre-announced by name and photo. You won’t open your door to a stranger in an unmarked van.
Window Balance Repair
Window Balance Repair fixes the counterweight system that holds a single- or double-hung sash open without slamming shut. When balances fail, the window won’t stay up, or you need both hands and considerable force to lift it. We replace coil, block-and-tackle, or spiral balances with OEM-matched parts for $95 – $185 per window. This repair restores smooth one-finger operation and prevents the sash from dropping on fingers.
Balance Type Identification
Our technicians remove the sash and inspect the balance channel to identify the manufacturer, series, and weight range. We don’t guess. The wrong balance will fail in months and damage your sash tracks.
Sash Track Inspection
A failed balance often scars the vinyl or aluminum track. We smooth minor damage and recommend track replacement when grooves are too deep, ensuring the new balance rides clean and quiet.
Window Frame Repair
Window Frame Repair restores structural integrity to rotted wood, cracked vinyl, or dented aluminum frames before water infiltration damages your walls. Early signs include soft spots, peeling paint inside the home, or visible gaps between frame and wall. We epoxy-stabilize minor wood rot, splice in new vinyl sections, or straighten aluminum frames for $120 – $280. Severe rot requiring full frame replacement runs $350 – $650.
Rot Detection and Stopping
We probe with an awl to map rot extent, then apply two-part epoxy consolidant to harden remaining sound wood. This stops fungal growth and restores load-bearing strength without tearing out the entire frame.
Caulk and Flashing Replacement
Frame leaks often trace to failed sealant or missing flashing above the window. We remove old caulk back to clean substrate, apply backer rod and polyurethane sealant, and replace damaged head flashing.
Broken Window Repair
Broken Window Repair covers cracked, shattered, or punctured glass from impact, thermal stress, or attempted entry. Safety is immediate: we board vulnerable openings same-day when needed, then measure for tempered or laminated replacement glass. Most residential glass replacement runs $150 – $320 for standard sizes; oversize or specialty glass reaches $400 – $650. We source from Mr-Glass and other suppliers for exact pattern matching.
Tempered vs. Annealed Glass
Code requires tempered glass (heat-strengthened to shatter into small cubes) near doors, in bathrooms, and close to the floor. We verify your existing glass type and install code-compliant replacement, documenting the upgrade for your records.
Laminated Security Glass
For ground-floor windows or homes in higher-risk areas, we offer laminated glass: two panes bonded to a plastic interlayer that holds together when struck. It costs more but deters break-ins and reduces sound transmission.
Window Lock Repair
Window Lock Repair fixes latches, cam locks, and multi-point locking systems that no longer secure the sash or engage properly. A window that won’t lock is an entry point and an energy leak. We replace single locks for $65 – $120; multi-point systems on casements or tilt-turns run $140 – $220. Every lock repair includes alignment check and striker plate adjustment.
Lock Alignment Issues
Sashes settle and tracks wear, so the lock tongue misses the keeper by an eighth of an inch. We adjust sash position and shim the keeper before replacing hardware, because a new lock on a misaligned sash will fail again.
Child Safety and Ventilation Locks
We install limited-opening vent locks that let fresh air in while preventing a child from climbing out. These add $25 – $40 per window and are available for most single- and double-hung styles.
Window Crank Repair
Window Crank Repair restores operation to casement and awning windows with failed operators, stripped gears, or bent arms. The crank spins freely, grinds, or requires excessive force. We replace the operator mechanism with a matched unit for $85 – $165, including arm and bracket when corroded. Most cranks we see are 10 – 25 years old and discontinued; we cross-reference to current equivalents.
Operator Arm Geometry
The arm length and pivot point must match your sash weight and hinge placement exactly. We measure the old unit and verify torque specifications so the new crank opens smoothly without overstressing hinges.
Cover and Handle Matching
Cosmetic parts matter. We match your interior finish with white, almond, or bronze covers, and provide a folding handle that doesn’t snag drapery. Details like this are why homeowners call us back.
Brands We Service
We’ve serviced hundreds of CWS units and stock their OEM balances, locks, and sash cams for same-day Window Repair in Huntington Park and surrounding areas. Our work with ES Windows includes specialized knowledge of their thermal break aluminum systems and impact-rated laminated glass. ECO Window Systems vinyl products are well represented in our parts inventory, from their single-hung tilt latches to their multi-point patio door handles. Mr-Glass specialty and oversized glass orders ship directly to our technicians for field installation.
We also maintain active repair relationships with PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. Whether you have CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or any other make, we can help. Our supplier network reaches back to manufacturers and specialized distributors that general contractors can’t access.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Condensation between glass panes. This means the seal on your insulated glass unit has failed. The inert gas has escaped, and your window is now barely more efficient than single pane. Energy bills rise, and the moisture will eventually etch the glass permanently.
- Window won’t stay open or slams shut. Failed balances are a finger-crushing hazard, especially on upper floors where a dropped sash could break the glass or injure someone below. Don’t prop the window open with a stick.
- Visible rot or soft spots in the frame. Wood rot spreads fungal decay into the rough opening and wall cavity. By the time you see interior damage, the structural repair cost has multiplied.
- Lock won’t engage or feels loose. An unlocked window is an invitation. Many break-ins are through unlocked or easily forced windows, not doors. The fix is usually simple and inexpensive.
- Crank spins without moving the sash. The operator gears inside have stripped. Forcing it bends the arms and damages the frame mounting points, turning a $120 repair into a $300 replacement.

How Much Does Window Repair Cost?
Most homeowners pay between $85 and $420 for a standard window repair, with simple fixes like screen rescreening or lock replacement at the low end and insulated glass unit replacement or frame rot repair at the high end. A typical screen repair runs $45 – $85; balance replacement is $95 – $185; double-pane glass replacement is $180 – $340; and frame repair or full operator replacement ranges from $120 – $280. Specialty glass, oversized units, or multi-point locking systems can push the total to $400 – $650.
Several factors affect your final price. The window style matters: single-hung parts are common and inexpensive, while casement operators and tilt-turn hardware cost more. Accessibility affects labor time; second-story and above require additional safety equipment. Glass type is significant: tempered, laminated, or low-E coatings add material cost but are required for code compliance and energy performance. Brand availability counts too; we stock CWS and ECO Window Systems parts, but discontinued lines may need custom fabrication.
To avoid overpaying, get a written line-item quote before authorizing work. Vague “time and materials” estimates often balloon. Ask whether the price includes disposal of old glass, cleanup, and a written guarantee. At Hale, our free estimate covers all of this. The price we write down is the price on your invoice. No change orders, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Repair
Window repair is the diagnosis and correction of specific component failures in an existing window, such as glass replacement, balance repair, lock replacement, or frame restoration, without removing the entire unit, as detailed in The Complete Window Repair Guide for Los Angeles Homeowners. It preserves your home’s original aesthetic, costs 40 – 70% less than full replacement, and extends service life by years. Most repairs are completed in one visit.
Most residential window repairs take 30 – 90 minutes per window once parts are on hand. Simple jobs like lock or screen replacement finish in under an hour. Double-pane glass replacement or frame rot repair may require 2 – 3 hours. If specialty parts must be ordered, we schedule a return visit within 5 – 7 business days. Call (252) 675-6980 for timeline specifics on your repair.
