Can foggy windows be repaired without replacing the whole window?

In most cases, yes. Foggy glass is caused by a failed seal in the insulated glass unit (IGU). We remove the sash, replace the IGU with a new sealed unit that matches the original specs (double-pane, low-E, argon fill), and reinstall the sash. The frame, hardware, and trim remain untouched. Cost is typically $175-$350 per window versus $350-$650 for a full replacement.

When should I repair versus replace a window?

Repair makes sense when the window frame is structurally sound and the issue is limited to the glass, hardware, or weatherstripping. Replace when the frame is rotted, warped, or severely deteriorated; when the window is single-pane and you want to upgrade to insulated glass; or when multiple components have failed. We give you both options with honest pricing.

How quickly can you repair a broken window?

For emergency situations like a broken pane that compromises security or weather protection, we offer next-day board-up and temporary seal service. Permanent glass replacement depends on the glass type and size — standard sizes are completed within 3-5 business days, while custom sizes may take 1-2 weeks.

Do you repair windows that were installed by other companies?

Yes. We repair windows from all manufacturers and all installers. If the window parts are still available from the manufacturer, we can source them. For discontinued lines, we often find compatible aftermarket parts or can fabricate custom solutions.

What causes windows to become hard to open or close?

The most common causes on Long Island are failed sash balancers (the spring mechanism that holds the sash in place), paint or debris in the track, warped vinyl from sun exposure, and worn hardware. Sash balancer replacement is our most common repair — it takes about 30 minutes per window and costs $100-$200.

What Long Island Homeowners Say

Had 6 foggy windows in our Babylon home. WCLI replaced the glass units for a fraction of what another company quoted for full replacement. The windows look brand new and the frames were in perfect shape — no need to replace them.

Thomas C.

Babylon, NY

Called on a Monday morning about a broken window from a storm. They were at our house Tuesday afternoon, boarded it up, and had the new glass installed by Friday. Fast, professional, and reasonably priced. Will use again.

Nancy A.

Lindenhurst, NY

Several windows in our ranch were stuck shut. Turned out to be failed sash balancers — the technician replaced all of them in one visit. Windows glide smooth as new. Honest company that could have tried to sell us new windows but didn't.
