Our Eclectic customers are spread from Main Street to the AL-63 corridor and out around Lake Martin's south end, and we serve the surrounding Elmore County communities on the same schedule.
A lot of what we see in Elmore 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.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

These are the window repair faults we are called out to most often in Eclectic. If you recognise one, the underlying cause is usually the second half of the line.
- A slider window that is hard to moveWorn rollers and a dirty track.
- Rotted wood at the sash or sillWater damage in a wood window, often repairable with splicing.
- A cracked or broken paneImpact or stress damage that needs glass replacement.
- The glazing bead is loose along one edgeShrinkage or failed fasteners, which lets water into the glazing rebate.
- Drafts around the sashFailed weatherstrip and worn sash seals.
- A slider window has worn a groove in its trackFailed rollers running on bare track, and the track will need attention as well as the rollers.

Remnants of Gulf systems still carry serious rain this far inland, and doors on the south and west sides of a house take the brunt of it.
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.
Storm wind drives water horizontally against a window and pressurizes the frame cavity, which forces water past seals and through weep systems that work perfectly well in ordinary rain.
We factor that in on every window repair job around Lake Martin's south end and the rest of Eclectic.
Local factors we account for in Eclectic: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of the River Region.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our window repair process
- Identify the window and its makerBalances, operators and hardware are manufacturer-specific. Identifying the system decides what is available and what has to be adapted.
- Test each moving part separatelyBalances, operator, hinges and lock get checked independently so one stiff component does not disguise another.
- Check the drainageWeep holes and sill drainage get checked on any window with water intrusion, because that is usually the cause.
- Be clear where replacement is rightWhere a frame is rotted through or a unit is obsolete, we say so plainly instead of selling a repair that will not hold.
- Reseal properlyNew weatherstrip and glazing seals so the window performs as it should.
- Test operation and lock engagementThe sash should move with light effort, stay where it is put, and lock without being pulled into position. We measure the reveal before and after on River Region jobs, so seasonal movement can be told apart from a genuine fault.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of window repair in Eclectic
What a window repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- commercial glazing and access requirements
- wood repair and rot splicing where the frame is damaged
- glass unit size, tempering and low-E coatings
- single window versus several in one visit
- the type of window and whether replacement hardware is still available
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Eclectic.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Eclectic: 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.
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.
Do you repair commercial windows and storefront glazing?
Yes, including glass replacement, hardware and seals for Eclectic businesses.
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.
How do I stop condensation on my windows in winter?
Some of it is indoor humidity rather than the window. But if the glass surface is cold enough to condense heavily, the unit may have failed. In Eclectic it is worth checking whether the moisture is on the surface or between the panes.
Is it worth repairing old wood windows?
Very often, yes. Old wood windows in Eclectic were made from better material than most modern replacements and were designed to be repaired. Rot can be spliced, sashes rebuilt and balances replaced.
