Casement windows earn their keep in this climate: cranked tight against the weatherstrip, they seal better than almost any other style. But that hardware does all the work, and when the crank grinds, the hinges sag, or the sash no longer pulls in flush, the window loses both its ease and its seal. We repair the operator, the hinges, and the alignment so the window swings freely and locks up tight.
The crank operator is the usual suspect. Years of opening against wind pressure wear the gears until the handle spins without moving the sash. A window crank repair replaces the operator with the correct arm style and gear ratio for your window, most often in under an hour.
Hinges are the other wear point. Casement hinges carry the sash cantilevered in open air, and once they sag the sash drags on the frame and the latch will not pull it square. Our hinge replacement service fits new hinges measured to the originals so the geometry comes back exactly.
A casement that will not close tight is also an energy leak, which matters through a North Bay winter. If you have felt drafts or seen fog in the glass, we can address the sealed unit under thermal window repair in the same visit.
