Condensation on the glass
Water running down the glass in winter often means cold glass. A modern insulated window and good ventilation reduce it.

Kitchen window problems we fix in Bolingbrook
The window over the sink is the one you look through and reach for every day, and in many Bolingbrook kitchens it is also the oldest and hardest to open. We replace kitchen windows, in the same opening or a larger one, and finish the trim inside and out.
Hard to open over the sink
If you have to lean over the sink and fight the sash, the window type is the problem. Casements and sliders are much easier to reach.
Rotted sill or frame
A soft, dark sill means water has been getting in. We check how far the rot goes and repair the opening before the new window goes in.
Window painted shut or broken hardware
When the sash will not move and the hardware is discontinued, a replacement window is the practical fix.
Old aluminum or single-pane windows
Single-pane glass and bare aluminum frames are the least efficient windows in a house. Replacing the kitchen one is a good start.
Garden or bay window
Garden windows add a shelf of space beyond the wall. They need careful flashing and support, which we include.
Window too low for a new backsplash or faucet
If the old sill sits right on the counter, splashing water reaches it. A raised sill or a new window size solves that.
Drafts and cold air at the sink
If you feel a draft over the sink in winter, the window and the gaps around it are the likely cause. We insulate and seal the new frame to the opening.
