WOOD WINDOW REPAIR

WOOD WINDOW REPAIR WITH ARDMOR

With a great passion for restoration, ARDMOR specializes in the repair of wooden windows, including addressing problems with frames sills brick moldings exterior boards, and more. Damages to window accessories can occur as a result of harsh weather conditions, accidental impact or general wear and tear over time.

Wood is a material that ages naturally, and common degradation can be accelerated with the extreme shifts in temperature that take place as the seasons change. This can decrease the window’s ability to function properly. However, a full window replacement is rarely necessary. Instead, homeowners can save costs by repairing the specific part of the window that is causing issues.

In most circumstances, old windows can quickly be restored to their original efficiency and design aesthetics with targeted repair and restoration. Whether the wood shows signs of cracking, rotting or other damage, ARDMOR will create a plan to tackle the problem areas and repair the window.

With the preservation of original wood as a top priority, we can help homeowners restore the outstanding designs that give their houses unforgettable personality. Whether repairing unexpected wood damage on a new building or restoring the classic features of a historic residence, ARDMOR is dedicated to quality restoration that allows windows to perform flawlessly.

WINDOW SASH

Window Sash BeforeWindow Sash After

Consisting of one or more moveable panels, a window sash secures the panes of glass in place. A sash can also be used to separate panes, also called lights, by using glazing bars.

When wood is not repainted regularly, it can become exposed to moisture, which causes wooden rails and stiles to rot. Rotting can also occur if water penetrates the exterior cladding, due to heavy spills, flooding, etc.

A window sash can easily be replaced. After taking precise measurements, we will create custom rails and stiles out of quality, solid wood materials. Once we replace the rotting wood with the new, custom-designed sash, the original look of the window will be restored.

WINDOW SILL

The surface of the horizontal base of a window beneath the sash is called a window sill.

In heavy rains, the window sill is most affected by the excess moisture and pooling. Therefore, it is usually the first part of the window to show signs of water damage, such as rotting. If water enters through the exterior cladding, it can also cause rotting in the window sill.

A window sill can easily be replaced. After taking precise measurements, we will create custom sills out of quality, solid wood materials. Once we replace the rotting wood with the new, custom-designed window sill, the original look of the window will be restored.

BRICK MOLDING & EXTERIOR BOARDS

Patio Door Brick MoldingPatio Door Brick Molding

Typically crafted from wood or PVC, brick molding and exterior boards consist of a material strip approximately 1¼ inches wide that is fixed between the window and wall. This is typically a cosmetic fixture that covers gaps to create a finished look.

If crafted from wood, these pieces can become rotten over time due to water damage. They can also rot due to lack of upkeep, such as regular repainting.

Brick molding and exterior boards can be replaced. We use PVC, which does not rot or crack, for all of our brick molding and exterior board replacement pieces to prevent future maintenance.

JAMB LINERS

what are jamb liners
Jamb liners

Made from vinyl, aluminum or wood, jamb liners are tracks that use small weights to counterbalance the window sash.

The tracks and balances of a jamb liner can splinter, crack and become jammed from general wear and tear, overuse, or heavy force. A weakened or failing jamb liner can prevent the window from functioning smoothly.

Jamb liners can be replaced in order to restore balance and smooth window functioning.

SASH LOCK

what is a sash lock

Placed in the middle of a single-hung or double-hung window, this device effectively locks the window, preventing it from opening.

A sash lock can break from general wear and tear, overuse or heavy force.

You can easily replace an old sash lock with a new one.

BALANCES

what is a balance
balances

Featured in single-hung or double-hung windows, a balance is a mechanical device that provides a counterbalance to the weight of the sash.

Over time, it is typical for the spring built within the balance to become dull and weaken as a result of heavy usage. As older windows continue to be shoved opened and closed, the balance is likely to break.

The best approach is to install new balances in place of existing ones to facilitate smooth window functioning.

TILT LATCH

what is a tilt latch
tilt latch

This apparatus is located on the top of the sash or sashes. It holds the window sash in the frame securely, allowing the window to open by slightly tilting the sash and holding it in place.

Poor construction materials, improper use of force to maneuver the window or general wear and tear from age can all contribute to a broken tilt latch.

Old or broken tilt latches can be easily replaced with new ones.

CASEMENT WINDOW HARDWARE

WINDOW CRANK OPERATOR

window crank operator

This device is operated by hand, consisting of a handle that is manually cranked to cause the casement or awning windows to open.

Because it undergoes friction by design, a crank operator may break due to general wear and tear. Also, poor quality construction materials and improper use, such as forcing the crank when hinges are not properly aligned, may also cause damage to the crank operator.

The best solution is to replace the window crank operator and reevaluate the alignment of the window to ensure proper positioning.

HINGE

what is a window hinge
hinge

This piece is a mechanical device that acts as a link to enable a window to swing open. For casement windows, the hinge bridges the top and bottom of a window sash, while for awning windows, the hinge bridges the left and right sides of the window sash.

There are many culprits for a broken hinge, including rust that has accumulated after water damage or exposure to moisture, consistent bending from the weight of the sash, or general use over the course of time.

The solution requires total replacement of the broken hinge and a complete evaluation of the window adjustment to ensure proper positioning.

CASEMENT AND AWNING LATCHES

Positioned opposite the hinge, this feature consists of one or two locks to secure the window shut.

The most common cause of a broken latch is a misaligned window.

The fix for this problem requires total replacement of the casement latch or latches, as well as an evaluation of the window adjustment to ensure proper positioning

Two technicians named Andrii from ARDMOR Windows & Doors came to my place to fix two windows and replace two others. Their work was impeccable. They made sure everything looked good before moving on to their next job. I received several quotes from different window companies, and so far they were the most affordable option with standout quality. I would not hesitate to recommend ARDMOR Windows & Doors from Willow Grove.

André and André did a great job! Fast and clean. Thank you
Kathleen C.
Great Job! Ardmore installed 5 new full-sized windows in my basement. It was a messy job as far as removal of the old ones and demolition. At my request, the company paused the job and coordinated with masons I had to hire to repair the “window boxes” in the stone foundation and brick wall before the windows were put in. All the workers were very competent and nice people. The installers did a great job of installing the vinyl windows and finishing the inside and the flashing on the outside. The project manager and the salesman were both easy to work with, and company stayed on top of scheduling next steps. My windows look great!
