🚪 Common Window Problems We Fix

If your window:

  • won’t stay open

  • slams shut unexpectedly

  • is hard to open or close

  • feels unbalanced or unsafe

— the problem is often broken sash cords or chains, not the window itself.

🔩 What We Repair

Our sash balance repair services include:

  • Sash cord replacement

  • Sash chain replacement

  • Pulley repair and lubrication

  • Counterweight adjustment

  • Full window rebalancing

We restore proper weight balance so your windows operate smoothly and safely again.


🪵 Sash Cords vs. Chains — What’s the Difference?

Older and traditional windows typically use sash cords, while some windows use metal sash chains.
Both systems rely on pulleys and counterweights hidden inside the window frame.

When cords or chains break, windows lose balance and become difficult or dangerous to use.
We service both systems and use durable, long-lasting materials for repairs.

Why do many homeowners in Boston, MA need wood window repair?

In Boston, many homes still have older, original wood windows. Over time, exposure to moisture and weather can lead to rotted sills/frames, drafts and air leaks, stuck or hard-to-open sashes, and glazing issues like loose panes or foggy glass. Wood window repair helps restore function and protect the window without replacing the entire unit.
