Understand the symptom

What changes when you try to open the window?

01It lifts, then dropsBalances and springs support the sash weight. A window that falls shut or needs constant support may have a failed balance or connection. Leave it closed if safe; a stick or improvised prop is not a repair.
02It catches or tiltsOne corner rising before the other can point to a guide, balance or alignment problem. We inspect both sides, the sash and the frame rather than force the window past the obstruction.
03It closes but will not lockLocks and keepers need to meet correctly. Worn hardware, a sash that does not seat fully or frame movement can prevent engagement. Replacing the latch alone may leave the underlying problem.

Repair decisions

A balance repair starts with the whole sash

Balance assemblies are selected for the window design and the load they support. We check the existing mechanism, attachment points and sash condition before identifying replacement components. Similar-looking springs are not necessarily interchangeable.

For impact windows, the inspection also considers system-compatible hardware. A hardware repair does not make a regular window impact-rated. If the frame is seriously distorted, corroded or damaged, we explain why a hardware repair may not be enough.

Leave the window assembled for assessment

Keep the area inside the window accessible and tell us about upstairs openings, furniture or other access constraints when you call. Do not operate an unstable sash to demonstrate the fault.

Step 1Describe the movementTell us whether the window drops, binds, feels heavy or refuses to lock.
Step 2Review the componentsWe assess the balance system, guides, lock engagement and frame, then explain the proposed work and any parts needed.
Step 3Check the resultAfter the agreed repair, operation and closure are checked together so a smoother lift does not hide a remaining latch problem.

Questions before you book

About your window repair

Is a dropping sash always caused by a broken spring?

Not always. Balances, their attachments and related guides can fail in different ways. The mechanism must be inspected before choosing a part or assuming the spring alone is responsible.

Should I hold the sash open until you arrive?

Avoid using a window that cannot support itself. If it is already closed, leave it closed. Keep people away from an unstable sash and describe its position when you call.

Can an older window still be worth repairing?

Age alone does not decide the answer. A sound frame and available compatible hardware may make repair practical. We consider condition, operation and parts availability before discussing replacement.

Does your North Miami Beach service include window locks?

Yes. We assess locks, keepers and related operating hardware as part of window repair. Tell us whether the lock is broken, loose or simply no longer lines up.

Is the problem in the glass instead?

A window that moves and locks normally but has a cracked pane or haze between panes needs a glazing assessment, not simply new operating hardware.
