Restore Your Atlanta Home to Its Full Potential by Preserving Your Current Windows
Window Makeover’s innovative window repair process is customized for your specific windows. We use reverse engineering to determine the exact specifications of all your window’s parts to create custom parts that are a precise fit. Choosing to repair your current windows instead of replacing them can restore the original look of your home and the beauty of your windows without the costly expense of a total replacement. In fact, window restoration can save you as much as 70% compared to the cost of replacing your existing windows. Despite the savings, however, you still receive the updated look you desire and the improved window function you need. What’s more, all our custom replacement parts and sashes are fabricated in our dedicated 12,000 square foot mill, providing you with expertly crafted, perfectly fitting components. Window restoration is a cost-effective, energy efficient, environmentally friendly solution for damaged windows. Instead of replacing windows that may be original to your Atlanta historical home or vital to your home’s unique aesthetic, window restoration allows you to make your existing windows beautiful again, keeping what makes your home truly special. Contact Window Makeover at your earliest convenience for a no-charge consultation and see for yourself why window restoration is the best choice for your damaged windows.
Wood rot repair
Continuous exposure to Georgia moisture over an extended period can cause your wood window frames and other wooden components to rot. In addition, ongoing moisture issues can lead to other consequences, such as mold growth. Over time, wood rot and mold growth can damage the structure of the window frame and other window elements, affecting its safety and function. Window Makeover can repair your wood rot damage and restore your windows’ beauty and functionality. Read More
Foggy glass and failed seals
Failure of your window’s seals can allow moisture to enter between the sealed panes, causing a fog to appear on the interior of the pane. While this foggy appearance is unattractive, it could also be allowing excess moisture to affect the surrounding frame. Window Makeover removes this moisture and repairs the failed window components to eliminate the foggy appearance and restore functionality to your window. Read More
Window hardware repair
If your window’s hardware is damaged, it will not function properly, leading to problems opening, closing, or locking your windows. Failed hardware can lead to excessive heating or air conditioning leakage to the outdoors as well as pose a security risk for your home. Window Makeover replaces any broken hardware, restoring comfort and security to your home. Read More
Wood window and sash repair
Most of the wood windows we see in Atlanta homes are repairable. Sash that stick, rattle or will not stay up are usually a cord, weight and pulley problem rather than a failed window. We rebuild the sash, replace broken cords, re-hang the weights and re-glaze where the putty has gone, so the window opens, closes and seals the way it was built to. Old-growth pine and cypress sash are denser and more durable than anything sold new today. Replacing one with a modern unit trades a repairable century-old window for a sealed unit with a service life measured in decades. Read More
Repair or replace: how we decide
We tell you which one you are looking at before we quote either. A window is a repair candidate when the frame and sash are structurally sound, even if the glazing, hardware or finish has failed. It is a replacement candidate when rot has reached the structural members, when the frame is out of square beyond correction, or when the unit was poorly built to begin with. Restoration typically runs a fraction of replacement cost. When replacement genuinely is the right call, we say so, and we do that work too. Read More
