Daily heat cycles in Fresno wear out dual-pane seals, and winter tule fog shows the haze between the panes. If the frame is sound, the glass unit can often be replaced on its own.
Not every bad window needs to be replaced. A dual-pane window that has gone cloudy between the panes has a failed seal, and in many cases the sealed glass unit can be swapped while the frame stays. A cracked or broken pane can be replaced the same way. If the frame is sound, that costs much less than a new window.
Fresno's heat is hard on seals. The glass heats and cools every day, and over years the seal around the edge lets in moist air. Winter tule fog then shows it, with a haze or drops between the panes. Once a seal has failed, the fog does not come out, and the gas fill is gone. Cleaning only helps the outside.
Other common repairs are worn rollers on sliding windows and doors, tracks full of dust, torn screens and dried-out weatherstripping. A new glass unit must be the right thickness for the frame, and glass near doors, tubs and floors must be tempered. If the frame itself is bent, rotted or leaking, we will tell you when replacing the window makes more sense.
Window repair & glass replacement in Fresno: common questions
Can you replace just the glass in a foggy window?
Often, yes. The sealed glass unit is swapped and the frame stays, if the frame is in good shape.
Can foggy glass be cleaned?
No. Fog between the panes means the seal failed. The fix is a new sealed unit or a new window.
When should I replace the window instead?
When the frame is bent, rotted or leaking, when parts are no longer made, or when most windows in the house are failing.
