Our Aluminum Window Frame Repair Services
We focus on identifying all issues affecting aluminum window frames, restoring structural integrity with accuracy, and ensuring proper sealing and glass replacement. Our approach is practical, targeting functional and aesthetic concerns that impact performance and durability.
Damage Assessment
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your aluminum window frames for visible damage such as dents, corrosion, warping, or cracks. This detailed assessment helps us determine the extent of wear and identify hidden problems that may affect the window’s operation.
Our team uses specialized tools to measure frame alignment and check for leaks or gaps. This diagnostic step informs the repair plan, ensuring we address every area requiring attention to restore full functionality.
Precision Frame Restoration
After assessing the damage, we carefully repair or replace damaged sections of the aluminum frame. This may involve straightening bent parts, removing corrosion, or welding cracks. Our process preserves the original frame’s strength and shape.
We use industry-standard materials and techniques to match the aluminum’s finish and durability. This precision work ensures the frame remains weather-resistant and structurally sound for years to come.
Glass Replacement and Re-Sealing
When glass panes are cracked, loose, or inefficient, we provide expert replacement services. We select appropriate glass types based on your needs, including energy-efficient or tempered options.
We also reseal window units with high-quality, weatherproof sealants. Proper sealing prevents drafts, water intrusion, and improves insulation, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency in your home.
Benefits of Professional Repair
Having your aluminum window frames professionally repaired impacts several important aspects of your home. It helps maintain comfort, boosts curb appeal, and prevents costly replacements. These advantages translate into both short-term satisfaction and long-term savings for homeowners.
Improved Insulation
When aluminum frames are damaged, gaps or cracks can form, allowing air to leak in or out. This weakens your home's insulation and forces your heating or cooling system to work harder. Professional repair seals these gaps, restoring the
frame’s airtightness.
By fixing dents and worn seals, we reduce drafts and moisture intrusion, which helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This means you’ll likely notice lower energy bills, as your HVAC system runs more efficiently.
Enhanced Appearance
Aluminum window frames with dents, scratches, or peeling finishes can make a home look neglected. Our skilled technicians restore frame surfaces to smooth, clean condition, improving the overall look of your windows.
Well-maintained windows increase your property’s curb appeal, which can raise its market value. Clean, intact frames contribute to a polished exterior, creating a positive first impression. We pay close attention to finishes and fit to ensure repaired frames blend seamlessly with your home’s design.
Extended Window Lifespan
Neglected frame damage accelerates wear and can lead to rust, corrosion, or structural failure. By addressing issues early with professional repair, we slow down this deterioration. This extends the functional life of your aluminum windows.
Our repair service targets weak points like frame joints, seals, and fasteners. Reinforcing these areas prevents further damage and costly replacements. Investing in repair now saves money over time by maximizing the longevity of your window system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Aluminum Window Frame Repair
Can corroded aluminum window frames be repaired?
Yes, corroded aluminum window frames can often be repaired depending on the extent of corrosion. Surface oxidation and light pitting can be treated through professional cleaning, sanding, and protective coating application. However, if corrosion has caused structural weakness or deep pitting that compromises the frame integrity, replacement may be necessary. We assess each frame's condition to determine whether repair or replacement is the most effective solution for your specific situation.
How much does aluminum window frame repair cost?
Aluminum window frame repair costs vary based on the type and extent of damage needed. Simple repairs like lubricating stuck mechanisms or replacing weatherstripping are more affordable, while complex issues involving structural damage or extensive corrosion treatment cost more. We provide detailed free estimates for all repair work, ensuring you understand the scope and cost before we begin any repairs.
Is it better to repair or replace aluminum window frames?
The decision depends on the frame's age, condition, and extent of damage. If your aluminum frames are structurally sound with minor issues like sticking, corrosion, or worn components, repair is typically more cost-effective. However, frames with extensive corrosion, multiple failing components, or poor energy efficiency may benefit from replacement. We evaluate factors like repair costs versus replacement value, energy savings potential, and long-term durability to help you make the best decision.
How do you fix aluminum window frames that are stuck?
Stuck aluminum window frames are usually caused by dirt buildup, corrosion, or worn hardware in the tracks and mechanisms. We start by thoroughly cleaning the window tracks and removing any debris or oxidation. Next, we lubricate all moving parts with appropriate products designed for aluminum windows. If hardware components are damaged or worn beyond effective lubrication, we replace them with compatible parts to restore smooth operation.
