Window Balance Repair — What It Involves
A window that drops shut, won’t stay open or takes two hands to lift usually has a failed balance — the spring or block-and-tackle mechanism hidden in the frame of single- and double-hung windows. Glass Depot Repair Bay Area replaces worn balances, pivots and hardware so the sash moves and holds the way it should.
Tell us how many windows are affected and what is happening — slamming, sticking, tilting — and your city. Several windows in one home or building are common, and the estimate is free.
