If you are anywhere between Old Daphne and Lake Forest, or out toward the Eastern Shore Trail, we cover it, along with the rest of Baldwin County.
A lot of what we see in Baldwin County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
Blowing sand etches glass, packs into slider window tracks and abrades weatherstrip, and it is the reason sliding windows in sandy areas need their rollers replaced far more often.
High humidity saturates the desiccant in a sealed glass unit quickly once its seal has begun to fail, and it also keeps wood sashes at a moisture content where rot can get started.
We factor that in on every window repair job around the Eastern Shore Trail and the rest of Daphne.
Local factors we account for in Daphne: blowing sand and sustained humidity — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our window repair process
- Establish the type before the faultDouble hung, casement, slider, awning and fixed all fail differently, and the diagnosis follows the type.
- Test each moving part separatelyBalances, operator, hinges and lock get checked independently so one stiff component does not disguise another.
- Check the drainageBlocked weep slots put water on the sill and into the wall, and they are behind a lot of what gets blamed on the glass. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.
- Repair rather than replace where it makes senseFrames and glass usually outlast hardware by decades, and hardware is replaceable.
- Reseal properlyNew weatherstrip and glazing seals so the window performs as it should.
- Check it holds where you leave itA sash that creeps down after a few minutes has not been fixed, so we leave it open and come back to it before finishing.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Daphne: questions we get asked
Can foggy windows be repaired?
The sealed glass unit gets replaced, but the frame, sash and hardware stay. That is the repair, and it costs a fraction of window replacement.
Water is coming in at my window sill. What causes that?
Usually blocked weep holes. Windows are designed to collect water in the frame and drain it out, and when those drains clog it backs up and comes inside instead.
Why will my window not lock anymore?
The sash has dropped or shifted, so the lock and keeper no longer meet. Forcing it can break the lock, and the actual fix is usually alignment rather than new hardware.
My window will not stay open. What is broken?
The balances. On a double hung window they counterweight the sash, and when one fails the sash drops. It is a replaceable part and far cheaper than a new window.
My casement crank spins without moving the window. Why?
The gears in the operator have stripped. It is a common failure and a straightforward replacement as long as we can identify the manufacturer.
Do you repair commercial windows and storefront glazing?
Yes, including glass replacement, hardware and seals for Daphne businesses.
