If you are anywhere between Downtown Monroeville and the courthouse square, or out toward the Old Monroe County Courthouse from To Kill a Mockingbird, we cover it, along with the rest of Monroe County.
A lot of what we see in Monroe 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.
Salt corrodes window balances, latches and the metal spacers in insulated glass units, and coastal windows lose their sealed units and their hardware well ahead of the manufacturer's expectations.
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 the Old Monroe County Courthouse from To Kill a Mockingbird and the rest of Monroeville.
Local factors we account for in Monroeville: salt air and storm wind — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- 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 the moving parts independentlySash movement, locking and sealing each get checked separately so we know which one has failed. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.
- 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.
- Be clear where replacement is rightWhere a frame is rotted through or a unit is obsolete, we say so plainly instead of selling a repair that will not hold.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 properlyCorrect sealant on a clean, sound surface, and glazing set with the right blocking so the unit is supported rather than pinched.
- Test operation and lock engagementThe window should open, close and lock without force.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of window repair in Monroeville
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a window repair job in Monroeville, the main variables are these:
- glass unit size, tempering and low-E coatings
- wood repair and rot splicing where the frame is damaged
- single window versus several in one visit
- commercial glazing and access requirements
- 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 Monroeville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Monroeville: questions we get asked
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.
When is a window genuinely not worth repairing?
When the frame itself has failed structurally or the window is so far gone that repair costs approach replacement. That is a much smaller set of windows than you would think from replacement advertising, and we will tell you when you are in it.
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 Monroeville businesses.
How long does window repair take?
Balance, hardware and screen work is usually under an hour per window. Glass unit replacement takes a measuring visit and then a fitting visit once the unit is made.
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.
