Bringing in sash window repair specialists to fix you sash window is not quite the same as bringing in someone to fix a modern window. There are different issues that a sash window may face. Glass panes can break, especially if they are hit with a round, blunt object like a baseball. More than that, the weighted “sash” can easily get stuck within the window frame causing the window to remain either open or closed.

Sash window repair specialists understand that it is not always easy to replace a pane of glass that is more than 100 years old. However, if it can be done it should be done. Throwing away the historical significance of the sash window is something that should be avoided whenever possible.

If it’s so difficult to fix shouldn’t we just replace them with a more modern window? While this is always an option, it’s not one that should be considered lightly. Sash windows are becoming rare, historical, and are full of character that you just can’t get from a modern window. Replacing these windows isn’t likely to provide better insulation nor is it likely to provide a better aesthetic value to your home.

Sash window repair specialists are akin to historical artists that can take a broken or struggling 100 year old window and coax it back to health and return it to working condition. For a fraction of the cost of replacing the window, you can maintain that charming characteristic of your home.

If you only need one glass pane repaired, chances are it can be done right then and there. If the weighted “sash” that allows the window to slide up and down is stuck in the frame, this type of repair may require taking apart the window frame and then putting it back together.

In most cases, this is how the original window is anyway. Sash window repair specialists can help you preserve the special history laden windows in your home while keeping the quality of the repair top notch.
