Awning Window Repair and Replacement: Common Issues and Solutions

Awning windows, known for their outward opening feature from the bottom, are a popular choice for enhancing airflow while protecting against rain. Located at the top, their hinges facilitate this unique operation, making them ideal for various locations within a home. At Prestige Window Works in Long Island, NY, we are experts in addressing all aspects of awning window maintenance, including repair, replacement, and installation. Our goal is to ensure your windows operate efficiently and effectively.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Window won’t open: Often the result of a stuck or defective operator mechanism. Resolving this requires inspecting and possibly lubricating or replacing the operator to restore movement.
Window won’t close: Misalignment or a malfunctioning closing mechanism could be at fault. Adjusting the window’s frame or substituting the faulty mechanism usually solves the problem.
Window lock won’t close window: A malfunctioning or improperly aligned lock mechanism might fail to secure the window. Fixing or replacing the lock will ensure the window closes and locks firmly.
Window stock: Damage or wear and tear can affect the operation of any window. An assessment will determine the need for repairs or a full replacement.
Window operator broke: Essential for the window’s function, a broken operator needs replacing to regain proper operation.
Window crank broke: Without a functioning crank, the window cannot open or close. Replacing the crank restores operation.
Operator handle won’t turn: This issue may indicate a seized operator mechanism. The solution could involve lubricating or replacing the operator.
Operator won’t open window: If the operator malfunctions, it may require adjustment or replacement to allow the window to open correctly.
Operator/crank won’t close: Misalignment or damage to the operator or crank can prevent the window from closing. Repairing or replacing these parts will enable proper closure.
Crank handle won’t turn: A jammed crank handle might need freeing, lubrication, or replacement to work correctly again.
Window bottom/top hinges broke: Damaged hinges can hinder smooth opening and closing. Replacing the hinges ensures the window operates as intended.
Window top/bottom hinges rotten: Compromised by rot, hinges can affect the window’s integrity and functionality. Replacement is necessary for restoring safety and operation.
Window screen are missing: New screens will keep insects and debris out while allowing fresh air to flow into your home.

Very smooth experience this company-replaced a bathroom window and replaced broken basement window glass. Measurements were taken and I was told about a month until my custom window would be ready. Workers returned and did repairs as stated. They were very respectful of my home, removing shoes every time they entered and cleaned up after the job. Workers arrived within the 2 hour window I was given for estimate/install. Although the cost of window replacement was higher than I anticipated (isn’t that always the case!) estimate was $200 less than another I obtained. I am very pleased with the job and would recommend this company.

Two weeks ago, Dennis and Yuri came to replace a frame on a sunroom window that had rotted out on the bottom due to water damage - Since it was raining, they set up a tent on the backyard patio and got to work - They were here for a few hours and did a simply AMAZING job! - JUST INCREDIBLE! - I couldn't recommend them more highly for their skill and professionalism!

I just had some screen doors changed on my outside custom-made doors. Yura and Dennis came and did an outstanding job. Fast, clean, professional. Don't hesitate to hire them and this is coming from someone who does not write reviews.
