Repair

When the window won’t stay open, start with the operating hardware.

A hard-to-lift sash or one that won’t hold its position usually points to a failed balance. Replacement balances compatible with the window — regular or impact — can restore normal operation without touching the frame or glass.

Balances can hold spring tension. We don’t recommend removing them yourself.

New installation

When you want a new impact window, that’s a different project.

Installation replaces the entire unit, and it follows its own sequence.

We also install impact sliding glass doors and impact entry doors. Product approval documentation is provided where available, along with the installation requirements for your opening.

Only the glass is broken?

If the window operates fine but the pane is damaged, glass replacement may be the right job. Emergency glass replacement in Aventura.
