Sash window repair specialists are really a unique breed of window artists. Being able to repair the structure of a sash window is very much like restoring historical art. Sash windows are unique because of their stacked design, making the window appear to be made out of separate smaller pieces of glass.

These windows, which were common in period homes like Victorian and Georgian homes, are rooted deep in history. This is especially true in the southern parts of the country. These windows are signatures, often designed by the original home builders.

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.

Bringing in sash window repair specialists is like bringing in a historical window expert. He or she will be able to evaluate the window in question and provide you with the best possible solution.

With the “sash, ” or weighted pulley, hidden within the frame of the window, after 100 or so years it could be expected that the pulley would get kinked or even wear through. Replacing this weighted pulley requires that the window frame is disassembled and the weighted pulley is restored while it remains in the window frame.

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.
