Our territory takes in Uniontown and the communities around it in Perry County, so calls from Main Street, the AL-61 corridor and out by the Uniontown historic district all get the same response.
Uniontown has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Uniontown affect window repair
Black Belt soil is the reason so many doors in this part of Alabama do not close right. That dark prairie clay swells dramatically when saturated and shrinks in a dry August, and a house sitting on it moves with 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.
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.
We factor that in on every window repair job around the Uniontown historic district and the rest of Uniontown.
Local factors we account for in Uniontown: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the Black Belt.

- Identify the window type and manufacturerBalances, operators and hardware are specific, and getting the right part is most of the job.
- Test the moving parts independentlySash movement, locking and sealing each get checked separately so we know which one has failed.
- 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. Through the Black Belt we check whether the opening has moved with the clay before we adjust anything, or the adjustment goes out again by next season.
- Be clear where replacement is rightWhere a frame is rotted through or a unit is obsolete, we say so plainly instead of selling a repair that will not hold.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 window should open, close and lock without force.

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
- single window versus several in one visit
- the type of window and whether replacement hardware is still available
- screen work alongside the window repair
- wood repair and rot splicing where the frame is damaged

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Window repair in Uniontown: questions we get asked
Can you replace glass without replacing the whole window?
Yes, in nearly all cases. Broken panes, cracked glass and failed insulated units are all replaceable in the existing frame.
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 Uniontown it is worth checking whether the moisture is on the surface or between the panes.
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.
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.
Is it worth repairing old wood windows?
Very often, yes. Old wood windows in Uniontown were made from better material than most modern replacements and were designed to be repaired. Rot can be spliced, sashes rebuilt and balances replaced.
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.
