Window Repair NJ
Broken glass. Foggy panes. Won't stay open. Won't lock. Drafty. Stuck. Whatever your window is doing, it's almost certainly a repair — not a replacement. Find your symptom below and we'll fix it, anywhere in New Jersey.
Most window companies in NJ only want to sell you replacement windows — the bigger ticket. We do full installations too, but a huge share of what walks in the door is a repair: one failed part on an otherwise-good window. A snapped balance, a fogged sealed unit, a worn roller, a stripped crank, a torn screen. Fixing the part costs a fraction of replacing the window, and it's the honest answer far more often than the industry admits.
This page is the map. Match what your window is doing to the right repair below — each one links to exactly how we handle it, what it costs, and how fast we get there. Not sure which it is? Call (201) 275-9185 and describe it; we diagnose over the phone and quote on-site.
What is your window doing?
Broken or shattered glass
Storm damage, impact, or a break-in. Needs immediate board-up to secure and weatherproof the opening, then glass replacement — clear, tempered, or laminated to match.
Foggy / cloudy glass you can't wipe clean
The insulated-glass seal failed and moisture is trapped between the panes. We replace just the sealed glass unit in your existing frame — typically $200–$450 per window, not the cost of a new one.
Window won't stay open, slams shut, or the crank spins
A failed sash balance, a worn casement operator, or snapped rope-and-weight cords. All replaceable hardware — the window doesn't need replacing.
Sliding patio door drags, sticks, or jumped its track
Worn rollers and a packed or bent track, nine times out of ten. We replace the rollers, service the track, and reset the panel so it glides one-finger-light.
Torn, bent, or missing screens
Re-screened in the existing frame, or custom-fabricated when the frame is bent — fiberglass, aluminum, pet-resistant, or solar mesh. $35–$125 per screen.
Drafts, leaks, locks that won't engage, sticking sash
Weatherstrip and sweeps that have shed, misaligned keepers, or worn locks and operators. Hardware-level fixes that restore the seal and the security.
Old wood windows: rotted sills, painted-shut sash, broken cords
Pre-war double-hungs are almost always worth restoring — re-roping, epoxy sill repair, glazing, and weatherstripping bring them back, often outperforming a mid-grade replacement.
Just the glass is broken or fogged, frame is fine
Glass-only replacement keeps your frame, sash, and trim. Single-pane reglaze or insulated-unit (IGU) swap, cut and fabricated to the original spec.

Window repair questions
Do you actually repair windows, or just sell new ones?
We repair them — it's a real service line, not a bait-and-switch into replacement. Glass, insulated-glass seals, sash balances, casement operators, rollers, locks, weatherstrip, screens, and rope-and-weight systems are all fixable, usually for a fraction of a new window. We only recommend replacement when the frame itself is rotted, racked, or obsolete — and we tell you which case you're in on-site, with the cost of each.
How much does window repair cost in NJ?
It depends entirely on what failed. Rough 2026 ranges: a fogged insulated-glass swap runs $200–$450 per window; sash-balance and crank-operator repairs are modest parts plus a service visit; screen re-screening is $35–$125 each; emergency board-up plus glass varies by size and time of day. Every repair is diagnosed and quoted on-site before any work starts, and multi-window jobs batch into one trip to keep the per-window price down.
How fast can you get to a window repair near me?
Same-day in the core North Jersey counties around our Garfield shop (Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson), next-day across most of central NJ, and scheduled two-day routes in South Jersey. Broken glass with weather coming in is treated as an emergency and dispatched 24/7 — board-up first, glass to follow.
Is repair always cheaper than replacement?
Almost always, when the frame is sound — you're paying for a part and a visit instead of a whole window plus installation. The exception is an old single-pane or no-thermal-break aluminum window that leaks heat: there, replacement can pay for itself in energy savings even though repair is possible. We give you the honest repair-vs-replace math for your specific windows.
What brands of windows do you repair?
All the major ones — Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Harvey, ProVia, Wincore — plus builder-grade vinyl and the odd-size and discontinued units older NJ homes are full of. Hardware like balances and operators is standardized more than people expect (sash weight and channel size determine the part), and for brand-specific pieces we source OEM or exact-equivalent.
