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.

We needed an emergency window repair and Prestige Window Works came within hours of our call and promised that our broken window would be repaired the same day. They did not disappoint! After a burglary left us shaken and upset, we began calling every window and glass repair company in the area trying to find someone who would come and complete a repair the same day. We needed to get our life back to normal and that did not include a boarded up window for two weeks. Well Prestige Window Works was our savior. They came quickly and the owner gave his word that after taking all of the appropriate measurements, he would return and have our broken double pane Andersen window repaired good as new before sunset. He returned just hours later and the repair was completed exactly as he promised. He and a helper collected all of the broken glass from the area, installed the new thermal glass into our existing frame, and finished the repair with the window looking exactly as it had when it was brand new. They really did an awesome job at a reasonable price. We were so happy with the job that we scheduled them to return and repair another window that had been needing repair for some time. Again, they offered a price that was both fair and competitive with quotes that we had received in the past. In a day and age where customer's are just a number and companies are always looking to take advantage of you, Prestige Window Works is a refreshing throwback to simpler times when workmanship and customer service were king!!!

Probably some of the best customer service I have ever seen in a business. I called in the morning for a custom request for a unique glass project. They had cut the glass and had it ready by the afternoon. When I got stuck at work and could not pick up the glass in time, one of the great employees stayed after hours to help me pick up the glass. Exceptional service and commitment, very happy I found this place.
