After repairs are complete, you now have a fully functional casement
window... This was a Weathershield Casement Window with Solid Oak
interior and Aluminum Clad exterior. The bottom frame had heaved
upward from unavoidable ground settling and had caused the window
sash to rub on the sill when operating it. Eventually the window leaked
water past the sash into the frame which then rotted causing major
frame damage and resulting in a completely non-operational window
unit. A replacement window unit would have cost about 10 times more
than the cost of the repair. Did we mention that this was happening to
about 27 windows in the house? The home owner saved over $50,000
and now has every window in his home working like new again.

| Window repair can be very involved and requires attention to detail. You do not want your window to leak water into the cavity of your home. This will create costly water damage, excess humidity and eventually mold. |
