Double Hung Window Repair & Replacement
Double hung windows are a timeless and versatile window style, valued for their balanced design, excellent airflow control, and ease of maintenance. With two movable sashes, homeowners can ventilate from the top, bottom, or both, while enjoying a tight seal when the windows are closed. This flexibility makes double hung windows a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary homes.
At Milton Glass Repair – Windows & Doors Services, we provide expert double hung window repair, replacement, and installation for residential properties. Many window issues can be resolved without a full replacement, saving time and cost while restoring performance. Our experienced technicians focus on improving operation, insulation, and appearance using high-quality materials and proven repair methods.
Common Double Hung Window Problems We Repair
Double hung windows rely on precise balance systems and proper alignment. Over time, daily use and weather exposure can cause components to wear or fail. We diagnose problems accurately and deliver long-lasting solutions.
Sashes That Won’t Stay Open
When a sash slides down unexpectedly, the balance system is usually worn or broken. We repair or replace springs, cords, or balance assemblies to restore smooth, controlled movement.
Windows That Are Stuck or Hard to Move
Paint buildup, debris, or humidity can cause sashes to bind. Our technicians carefully free the window, clean the tracks, and realign components without damaging the frame.
Air Drafts Between Sashes
Drafts often occur when seals at the meeting rails wear out. We replace weatherstripping and adjust sash alignment to improve insulation and indoor comfort.
Broken or Worn Hardware
Damaged locks, sash lifts, or tilt latches can reduce security and usability. We upgrade hardware with durable, corrosion-resistant components designed for long-term use.
Foggy or Failed Insulated Glass
Condensation between glass panes indicates seal failure. We replace the insulated glass unit while keeping the existing frame intact, restoring clarity and energy efficiency.
Frame and Sill Damage
Moisture exposure may cause deterioration, especially in older windows. We repair or replace affected areas using rot-resistant materials to preserve both function and appearance.
Tilt Mechanism Malfunctions
Tilt-in sashes may stop working due to worn shoes or misalignment. We service tilt hardware and jamb liners to ensure safe and easy operation for cleaning.
Balance System Issues
We service all balance types, including coil, spiral, block-and-tackle, and traditional weight-and-pulley systems, restoring reliable sash movement.
Types of Double Hung Windows We Service
Our technicians work with all materials, designs, and operating systems.
Wood Double Hung Windows
Common in older homes, these windows require skilled craftsmanship. We repair wood components, restore sashes, service pulley systems, and improve insulation while preserving character.
Vinyl Double Hung Windows
