Our territory takes in Moulton and the communities around it in Lawrence County, so calls from the courthouse square, Court Street and out by the Lawrence County Courthouse all get the same response.
Between the established parts of Moulton and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

The Tennessee Valley runs a wider temperature swing than most of Alabama. Summer humidity sits on aluminum and vinyl frames for months, then December through February drops below freezing dozens of nights, and the valley picks up an ice event every few winters.
Windows are designed to collect water in the frame and drain it out through weep holes, and blocked weeps during heavy rain is the standard reason water appears on an interior sill.
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.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Moulton summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Moulton: heavy rainfall and storm wind — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach window repair
- Identify the window type and manufacturerBalances, operators and hardware are specific, and getting the right part is most of the job.
- Operate it slowly and watchWhere the effort rises through the travel tells us which component has failed, often before anything comes apart. We look at how the opening behaves wet and dry, since the fault often only appears in one half of the year.
- 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.
- Repair rather than replace where it makes senseBalances, operators, locks and glass units are all serviceable parts. A whole window is rarely the honest answer.
- 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 sash should move with light effort, stay where it is put, and lock without being pulled into position.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of window repair in Moulton
Pricing on window repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- commercial glazing and access requirements
- the type of window and whether replacement hardware is still available
- wood repair and rot splicing where the frame is damaged
- screen work alongside the window repair
- glass unit size, tempering and low-E coatings
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 Moulton.

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 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.
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.
Do you repair commercial windows and storefront glazing?
Yes, including glass replacement, hardware and seals for Moulton businesses.
