Double Hung Window Repair & Replacement
Double hung windows remain one of the most trusted and widely installed window styles due to their classic design, superior ventilation control, and everyday convenience. Featuring two operable sashes, double hung windows allow fresh air to enter from the top, bottom, or both, while also making cleaning easier from inside the home. Their versatile appearance complements both modern and traditional residential architecture.
At Milton Windows and Doors Services Inc., we specialize in double hung window repair, replacement, and installation for homeowners throughout Milton and surrounding areas. Our experienced technicians restore smooth operation, improve insulation, and extend the lifespan of your windows—often without the cost of full replacement. With quality materials and expert workmanship, we ensure your windows deliver long-term performance and comfort.
Common Double Hung Window Problems We Repair
Double hung windows rely on balance systems, seals, and precise alignment. Over time, weather exposure and daily use can cause performance issues. Our team is equipped to diagnose and repair all common problems efficiently.
Falling or Dropping Sashes
When a sash will not stay open or drops unexpectedly, it usually indicates balance system failure. We repair or replace coil balances, spiral balances, block-and-tackle systems, or traditional counterweights to restore safe and smooth operation.
Stuck or Painted-Shut Windows
Humidity, debris, or paint buildup can prevent sashes from moving properly. We carefully free stuck windows, clean tracks, remove excess paint, and realign components without damaging the frame.
Drafts and Air Leaks
Gaps between sashes or worn weatherstripping allow cold air to enter and heat to escape. We replace seals, improve sash alignment, and reinforce weatherproofing to boost energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
Broken or Worn Window Hardware
Damaged locks, sash lifts, or tilt latches reduce security and usability. We install durable, corrosion-resistant hardware to restore function and safety.
Foggy or Failed Insulated Glass
Condensation between glass panes is a sign of seal failure. We replace insulated glass units (IGUs) while preserving the existing frame, restoring clarity and insulation at a lower cost than full replacement.
Frame and Sill Damage
Moisture exposure can cause wood rot or material deterioration. Our technicians repair or replace damaged frames and sills using long-lasting, moisture-resistant materials.
Tilt-In Sash Malfunctions
Tilt-in sashes may stop working due to worn balance shoes or misalignment. We service tilt mechanisms, jamb liners, and balances to ensure safe, easy operation.
Balance System Failures
We repair all double hung balance systems, including coil, spiral, block-and-tackle, and traditional weight-and-pulley setups, restoring reliable sash movement.
Single hung windows suit a wide range of spaces, including bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and basements, and their clean appearance blends seamlessly with traditional, contemporary, and transitional home designs.
