Somebody spent $80,000 on new windows because a crank operator broke.

That is a $100 part. It is a ten minute fix. Nobody told them.

That happens more than it should, and it is the reason this episode exists. Before you decide what to do about your windows, you should know what is actually broken.

Check it out 👉

Foggy glass, rotted wood, and broken cranks almost always fail in the sash, not the frame. See what actually breaks, why, and when a replacement sash is enough.

If your home's windows were built in the 80's and 90's, there's something you should know about why those decades saw failure with wooden windows.

Hint: It wasn't because wooden windows aren't made to last... Done right, they can stand the test of time.

Most people believe a failing window means a new window. Here's the math a contractor won't run for you... A full replacement quote can pass $1,200+ per window. But most of the time, the frame in your wall is solid and it's the sash that failed!

In this video, Ryan the Sash Guy sits down with Jason, our delivery driver, and makes a blunt claim: a lot of window replacement companies are not telling you the whole truth about your options. Here it is... ⬇️

Wood window sash replacement costs a third of full replacement. Ryan Schwartz explains why repair is the option nobody ever offers you.

Summer's the best time to order for a fall installation. 🍂

Production time + shipping = your sashes ready by late fall. That means you can install in comfortable weather before winter temps arrive.

If you wait until fall to order, you're pushing your installation to January at best when it's cold and working outdoors is miserable.

Don't leave it to chance. Look at ordering now 👉 https://fensterusa.com/ordering-info-checklist/

In addition to being craftsmen, we take on the role of search and rescue when necessary! We had an unexpected guest find its way into our painting room and eventually into the smallest possible hole in our work bench... We were happy to help out, but just hope they won't be a frequent flyer in the shop! 🐦😅
