Window Balance Repair Services
s opening your window a daily struggle? Does it refuse to stay up on its own, creeping down moments after you lift it? Or worse, does it slam shut with a dangerous thud? These are the classic signs of a broken, worn-out, or improperly tensioned window balance system. This common issue not only makes using your windows a major frustration but can also pose a serious safety hazard to your family.
You don’t need to invest in a costly full window replacement to solve the problem. C&C Glass & Window Repair specializes in expert window balance repair. Our skilled technicians can quickly and accurately diagnose the issue, identify the specific type of balance system in your windows, and professionally replace the faulty parts. We will restore your window to a smooth, safe, and effortless operation, just like the day it was installed.
Diagnosing Your Window Problem Correctly
The frustrating symptoms of a broken window balance can sometimes be confused with other issues like a warped frame or debris in the track. When you call C&C Glass & Window Repair, our process begins with an accurate diagnosis. Our technician will carefully inspect the window’s operation, check the alignment of the sashes, and examine the balance system itself to definitively confirm that it’s the root cause of the problem. This expert assessment ensures we perform the right repair the first time, saving you time and money and guaranteeing a solution that works.
A Tune-Up for Your Entire Window
When we perform a window balance repair, it provides the perfect opportunity to service the entire window unit for improved performance. While we have the sashes removed to access the balances, we can also clean the window tracks of dirt and debris, inspect the condition of the weatherstripping, and check the operation of the locks and hardware. This “tune-up” approach ensures that when we’re finished, your window not only stays open but also operates more smoothly and seals more tightly than it has in years.

We Service All Types of Window Balances
Window balance systems come in several different mechanical designs depending on the age, material, and style of your window. Our experienced technicians have the diagnostic skills and access to parts to service all of them.
- Coil or Constant Force Balances: A modern system common in vinyl and wood windows that uses a charged, stainless steel coiled spring that provides consistent tension to hold the sash in place.
- Spiral Balances: This system features a spiral-shaped rod housed within a tube. The tension that provides lift assistance is adjusted by winding the rod before installation.
- Block and Tackle (Channel) Balances: A very common system that uses a combination of springs and pulleys connected by a durable cord, all housed within a self-contained metal or plastic channel.
- Older Weight and Pulley Systems: Found in many older, historic homes, this traditional system uses sash cords, pulleys, and heavy counterweights hidden within a pocket in the window frame. We can repair or replace these historic components.
Key Benefits Of Repairing Your Window Balances
Repairing your window balances is a targeted, cost-effective fix that restores the complete function of your windows, significantly improving your home’s safety, convenience, and overall comfort.
✓ Restores Effortless Operation: Our primary goal is to make your windows easy to lift, lower, and position exactly where you want them. Enjoy fresh air without the struggle or the need for a prop rod.
✓ Enhances Home Safety: A properly functioning balance prevents a heavy window sash from unexpectedly slamming shut, protecting fingers from serious injury and eliminating a major household safety risk.
✓ A Highly Cost-Effective Solution: Repairing the mechanical balance system is far more affordable than a full window replacement, often saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars while achieving the same functional result.
✓ Improves Energy Efficiency: When a window balance is faulty, the sash may not close or seal correctly. A proper repair ensures a tighter fit, preventing drafts and air leaks that drive up your heating and cooling costs.
✓ Extends the Life of Your Windows: Fixing the mechanics reduces undue stress on the window frame, sashes, and other components, helping to extend the overall lifespan of your existing windows.
