Mt. Lebanon houses span a few generations of windows: original wood, later metal, later replacements. The first useful question is whether the unit still closes and latches. If it does, weatherstrip and hardware are usually the first repairs worth trying.

A fogged insulated glass unit is a glass problem, not automatically a full frame replacement. We'll tell you if the sash can take a new pane.

Drafts at a door are often the sill or the strike, not a new slab. If the door will not secure at all, that's a different, more urgent request — see emergency door and window help.

We will not print a financing pitch or a fake 'this week only' window sale. The work is the work.

Castle Shannon storms and sashes, a short ride south, are described with the same bias toward service on the Castle Shannon window and door page.
