Kitchen window problems we fix in Orland Park
A fogged, drafty or stuck window over the sink is worth fixing on its own, without a full remodel. We measure, order the right unit, remove the old one cleanly and install and trim the new window in your Orland Park home.
Want a bigger window over the sink
If the kitchen feels dark, widening or lowering the window can help. We check the wall structure and what the change involves first.
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.
Condensation on the glass
Kitchens make steam. Old single-pane or poorly sealed windows collect condensation that drips onto the sill. Insulated glass keeps the inside pane warmer.
Window painted shut or broken hardware
A crank that spins without opening the sash or a lock that will not latch is often harder to fix than to replace.
Old aluminum or single-pane windows
We swap old metal-frame windows for insulated units that keep frost and condensation off the glass.
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.
Fogged or cloudy glass
Moisture between the panes means the insulated glass seal has failed. Depending on the frame, we replace the glass unit or the whole window.
