Trusted Window Repair for Dallas Homeowners

Window Repair in Dallas typically costs between $95 and $475 for most common fixes, with labor rates running $75 to $150 per hour. A window that won’t stay open, won’t lock, or has a fogged double pane is not just an annoyance – it’s a security gap and an energy leak that gets more expensive the longer it goes untreated. Hale Windows & Doors has handled window repair across Dallas since 2009, and our technicians arrive background-checked, identity-verified, photo-badged, and pre-announced by name and photo before every visit. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s how we’ve built our name in neighborhoods from Oak Cliff to Far North Dallas. Call (361) 203-9040 and a live person answers – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail, no callback queue.

Window Screen Repair

Window Screen Repair in Dallas usually runs $45 to $135 per screen, and it’s the repair we hear about most during spring and early summer, when Texas heat pushes homeowners to open windows and discover last year’s hail damage or a season of accumulated tears. A torn or bent screen doesn’t just let mosquitoes in – it lets allergens, dust, and Texas-sized June bugs through while forcing your AC to work harder when you finally keep the window shut. We rescreen frames in-store or on-site, replace damaged spline, and fit new screen material to any frame style, including Andersen, Pella, and older aluminum frames common in Oak Cliff and Carrollton homes built in the 1970s and 80s. For badly bent frames, we quote a full screen replacement before any work begins.

Screen Material Options

Standard fiberglass mesh resists rust and costs the least up front. Pet-resistant screening runs slightly more per panel, but it holds up to claws and kids in busy households across University Park and Farmers Branch.

Rescreening vs. Full Replacement

If your aluminum frame is straight, rescreening takes about 20 minutes per window and is the smart money move. A frame that’s bent, corroded, or missing tension springs usually costs less to replace outright than to rebuild.

Double Pane Window Repair

Double Pane Window Repair in Dallas generally runs $150 to $385 per sash when the glass is fogged, and it’s almost never a job for a handyman – it’s a job for someone who knows how to match the right insulated glass unit to the frame. That fog between panes means the seal has failed and the argon or krypton gas that provided insulation has escaped, so the window is now just two pieces of glass with a moisture problem. We replace the insulated glass unit, not the whole frame, unless the frame itself has warped or rotted. Hale Windows & Doors works with glass from ES Windows and ECO Window Systems, among others, and we’ve fixed double pane failures in everything from 1990s tract homes in Window Repair in Balch Springs to newer construction in Heath and Sunnyvale.

Signs the Seal Has Failed

Persistent fog, water droplets between the panes, or a milky haze that won’t wipe off means the seal is done. You may also feel a temperature difference near the glass that wasn’t there before.

Full Frame vs. Glass-Only Repair

If the frame is sound, we replace only the sealed glass unit and keep your existing trim intact. If rot or warping is present, we’ll show you the damaged area before we quote frame work, so there are no surprises.

Window Repair Company

A Window Repair Company in Dallas should give you a written price before any tool touches your window – and that’s exactly what Hale Windows & Doors does on every job. No verbal estimates that balloon later, no “we’ll see what we find” pricing. Since 2009, we’ve repaired windows across Dallas, and every repair is backed by a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right, no argument needed. We are an independently owned and operated location within the Threshold Group family, not a franchise or a national chain, so the people you call are the people accountable for the work. Homeowners in University Park, Cockrell Hill, and Far North Dallas choose us for one reason above all: we prove who’s coming before the truck pulls up.

What the Written Estimate Includes

Every written estimate itemizes parts, labor, and disposal. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs before you say yes, and the price on the estimate is the price on the invoice.

Who Arrives at Your Door

Before every visit, we send you the technician’s name and photo. That person is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged, so the person knocking is the person you expected.

Window Balance Repair

Window Balance Repair in Dallas typically costs $85 to $180 per window, and it’s the fix for a window that slams shut, won’t stay up, or feels like it weighs twice as much as it should. The balance is the mechanism inside the frame that counteracts the window’s weight, and on double-hung windows common throughout Oak Cliff and Window Repair - Richardson, it’s a spring-loaded or spiral system that fails over time. We replace balance shoes, springs, and spiral rods with OEM-spec parts, not one-size-fits-all hardware. If one balance has gone, we check the second one in the same window and usually replace both at once – it’s cheaper than a second service call in six months.

Signs the Balance Is Failing

A window that drifts down on its own, a top sash that won’t stay up, or a window that suddenly feels heavier are all balance problems. Left alone, a broken balance can damage the frame when the sash drops.

Repair vs. Replace the Sash

Most balance failures don’t require a new window. We replace the internal mechanism and keep your existing sash and glass, which keeps the repair under $200 in most Dallas homes.

Window Frame Repair

Window Frame Repair in Dallas averages $200 to $475 depending on material and damage, and it’s the job that pays for itself twice over – once in energy savings and again in not needing a full replacement. Dallas humidity, the relentless summer sun, and occasional foundation settling put real stress on window frames, particularly wood frames in older homes in Oak Cliff and University Park. We repair rotted wood sills, cracked vinyl joints, failing caulk seals, and warped aluminum frames using materials matched to the existing frame. The written estimate you receive details exactly what we’ll cut out, what we’ll replace, and what the finished repair will look like.

Wood Frame Rotted Sill Repair

Rot is progressive. We remove the decayed section, treat the surrounding wood, and splice in new material, then seal and paint to match. Catching it early keeps a $200 repair from becoming a $700 sill replacement.

Vinyl and Aluminum Frame Cracks

Hairline cracks in vinyl frames can be welded, and bent aluminum channels can often be straightened and re-secured. If the crack is structural, we’ll tell you honestly and quote replacement rather than a temporary patch job.

Broken Window Repair

Broken Window Repair in Dallas runs $120 to $350 for a typical single-pane or double-pane replacement, and priority scheduling matters here – a broken window is an open invitation to weather, pests, and anyone who notices it. We do what we can to board open panes the same day we’re called, and we schedule glass replacement within 24 to 48 hours in most Dallas zip codes. The repair covers removing broken glass, installing a new pane or insulated glass unit, and cleaning the frame and sill. In Far North Dallas and Farmers Branch, we’ve replaced panes broken by everything from baseballs to hail, and the process is always the same: you get a written price before we start.

Immediate Safety Steps

Keep children and pets away from broken glass, and don’t try to pull the remaining shards out of the frame yourself – that’s an easy way to end up needing stitches. Tape up a cardboard barrier and call us.

Single vs. Double Pane Replacement

Single-pane replacement is straightforward and usually under $180. Double-pane jobs cost more because the entire sealed unit gets replaced, but you’ll see the difference on your next energy bill.

Window Lock Repair

Window Lock Repair in Dallas usually costs $65 to $160, and it’s one of the most underrated security upgrades you can do in a single afternoon. A window that won’t lock is a window that’s already open to someone who wants in, and in our experience, Dallas burglars look for exactly that – the unlocked window no one bothered to fix. We replace broken sash locks, window latches, and sliding window locks with the right hardware for your frame, not a generic latch from a big-box store that leaves a gap. The replacement is quiet, quick, and ensures the lock actually seats, which is the difference between a window that clicks and a window that locks.

Why a Lock Stops Working

Stripped screw holes, misaligned sashes, and worn lock arms are the typical causes. In many Dallas homes with settling foundations, the lock and the receiver drift out of alignment over time.

Adding Secondary Locks

For windows on the ground floor or near a porch roof, we can install a second lock as a backup. That’s a small cost now against a much bigger one if the window is ever forced.

Window Crank Repair

Window Crank Repair in Dallas runs $95 to $210, and if your casement window won’t open or the crank spins without moving the sash, the operator is almost always the culprit. We replace worn window operators, broken crank handles, and stripped gears with hardware rated for your window’s size and weight. The repair isn’t complicated, but the diagnosis can be – sometimes the operator is fine and the hinge track is the real problem, which is why a written diagnosis before repair matters. On windows from the 1980s and 90s common in our Window Repair in Carrollton and Richardson, we’ve seen operators worn down by years of Texas heat expansion and contraction.

Operator Replacement

The operator is the mechanism that turns your crank’s motion into the force that opens the sash. When teeth strip or the housing cracks, the crank spins, but the window stays put.

Hinge and Track Adjustments

Sometimes the crank works fine but the sash is off track. We adjust or replace hinges, lubate the track, and test the full range of motion before we call the job done.

Brands We Service

Hale Windows & Doors installs and services windows and doors from eight professional-grade lines: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That depth matters because it lets us match the right product to the particular Dallas job instead of pushing one brand on every home. We source OEM replacement parts where they exist and know which aftermarket parts perform well when they don’t.

For impact-rated glass repairs along the Dallas corridor, we work heavily with ES Windows and CGI. For insulated glass unit replacement, ECO Window Systems and ViewLux offer some of the best sealed-unit options available. And when the repair touches a door as well as a window – a common issue on Dallas patio doors – Therma-Tru hardware and Mr-Glass components keep everything matching. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Your window is cracked and the crack is spreading. Temperature changes between Dallas mornings and afternoons expand and contract the glass, turning a small crack into a full fracture within days. Once the crack crosses the pane, the entire unit needs replacement.
• The window won’t lock or won’t stay closed. A window that won’t latch is a standing invitation. Even if you’re home, a window that can be opened from outside defeats the point of having a lock at all.
• You can feel air moving around a closed window. That draft is money leaving your house on every 100-degree Dallas afternoon. Failed seals, warped frames, and broken weatherstripping all cause it, and all get worse with time.
• Condensation between the panes won’t go away. Inter-pane fog means the seal is dead and the window’s insulation value is gone. Waiting only lets moisture work into the frame and cause rot.
• You have to fight the window to open or close it. A window that sticks, slams, or requires two hands is a balance, crank, or track problem. Forcing it breaks hardware and can crack the glass, turning a $100 repair into a $350 replacement.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   You call (361) 203-9040 and tell us what’s happening. A live person answers, day or night. We’ll ask about the window type, what you’re seeing, and what you’ve already tried, then schedule a visit at a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We send your technician’s name and photo. Before the truck leaves the shop, you’ll know exactly who is coming. That technician is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged – the Threshold Standard on every single visit.
3. 3
   The technician diagnoses the problem and writes the price. We inspect the window, identify the failed component, and hand you a written price for parts and labor before any work begins. You approve the estimate before we touch a tool.
4. 4
   We complete the repair and test the window. We replace the failed part, check everything around it – the balance, the lock, the seal, the track – and test the window under real use before we clean up. If we see something else that needs attention, we’ll tell you and quote it separately, never add it to the bill without your approval.
5. 5
   You get a written guarantee on the repair. Every repair carries a written guarantee. If the repair fails, the second visit is free. And the whole job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
