Window Screen Repair

West Covina Window Repair for screens usually means replacing torn mesh or rebuilding a bent frame, and it’s one of the fastest jobs we do. The dry, hot summers here bake screen mesh until it turns brittle, and a single season of sun can leave a screen that tears when you press on it. We replace standard fiberglass mesh, upgrade to pet-resistant screen, or rebuild the entire frame if the aluminum is too bent to save. Most screen repairs in West Covina run $45 to $120 per screen depending on size and mesh type, and we can typically match the existing frame color so the repair doesn’t stand out.

Pet Damage and High-Traffic Screens

Homes with dogs or cats near the window see more screen damage than anywhere else. We stock heavier-gauge pet screen that holds up to claws far better than standard fiberglass, and the cost difference is small enough that most homeowners choose the upgrade.

Rust and Frame Damage

Older aluminum frames in West Covina, especially on homes built in the 1960s and 70s, corrode to the point where the spline won’t hold anymore. We rebuild frames with new aluminum stock or switch the screen to a more durable frame material when it makes sense.

Double Pane Window Repair

Double Pane Window Repair addresses the insulated glass unit, or IGU, which is the sealed sandwich of two glass panes with air or gas between them. When the seal fails, moisture gets inside and you see fog or mineral spotting that won’t wipe off. In West Covina, where nighttime lows often drop enough to make that fog show up in winter, a failed seal is the most common double pane issue we see. Replacing the IGU costs $180 to $450 per window depending on size and glass coating, and our team measures and orders the replacement to match the existing frame exactly.

Fogging and Seal Failure

Fog between the panes means the seal has failed. The energy performance drops, and the window loses its insulating value. We replace the glass unit, not the whole window, which saves homeowners in West Covina hundreds of dollars compared to full replacement.

Low-E and Tinted Glass Matching

Many West Covina homes have low-E glass (a thin coating that blocks heat while letting light through) installed in the last 15 to 20 years. We source matching low-E or tinted IGUs so the new glass isn’t noticeably different from the panes around it.

Window Repair Company

Hale Windows is a Window Repair Company that doesn’t do general contracting, roofing, or plumbing - including Window Repair - La Puente and surrounding cities. We repair windows and doors. That’s the whole trade. Since 2009 we’ve focused on one thing, and that focus means our technicians have seen nearly every window failure a West Covina home can throw at them, from sagging sashes in 1980s track homes to crank mechanisms on newer casement windows in the hillside neighborhoods above I-10. Spencer Odell and the team carry parts for the eight professional-grade lines we service, and when we don’t have the part on the truck, we order it and return on a scheduled day, not a vague “sometime next week.”

Technicians Who Actually Work on Windows

Every technician sent to your West Covina home is background-checked, identity-verified, uniformed, and photo-badged. You’ll get their name and photo before the visit. The person who shows up is the person you approved.

Written Price, Every Time

Before anyone picks up a tool, you’ll have a written price for the repair. No estimate ranges, no “we’ll see what we find.” We quote the job, confirm the price in writing, and stick to it.

Window Balance Repair

Window Balance Repair fixes the hidden spring and pulley system inside the side channels of a double-hung or single-hung window that counterbalances the sash’s weight. When a balance breaks, the sash won’t stay up, or it slams shut when you let go. In West Covina, homes built between 1950 and 1990 commonly have spiral or block-and-tackle balances that fatigue over time. Balance replacement runs $95 to $220 per window, with the exact cost based on the balance type and how many sashes are affected.

Spiral Balance Replacement

Spiral balances look like a long, thin spring with a plastic or metal tip. They wear out and lose tension, and your window starts dropping on its own or becoming a fight to open. We replace both sides at once so the sash travels evenly.

Block-and-Tackle Balance Issues

Block-and-tackle balances combine a spring with a cord and pulley block. When the cord frays or the spring snaps, the window feels heavy and lopsided. Replacement restores smooth, controlled movement, and we always check the tilt latches while we’re in there.

Window Frame Repair

our Window Repair in Covina also covers frame repair, which addresses the structure that holds the glass and the operating hardware. In West Covina, frames take a beating from UV exposure, occasional heavy rain, and the dry heat that cracks wood and warps vinyl over time. We see rot at the bottom corners of wood frames on older homes near the hills, and we see vinyl frames that have shifted or cracked from years of temperature swings. Frame repair in West Covina typically costs $150 to $400, but if the frame is too far gone, we’ll tell you straight and recommend replacement instead of patching something that will fail again.

Wood Rot and Sill Damage

Bottom sill rot happens when water pools on the frame and slowly eats the wood. We cut out the damaged section, install new material, seal it, and repaint to match. The repair stops the rot from spreading into the wall framing behind it.

Vinyl and Aluminum Frame Cracks

Cracked vinyl or bent aluminum frames can happen from impact, settling, or extreme heat. A small crack can often be repaired and reinforced, but structural cracks that change the frame’s shape usually signal that replacing the window makes more sense than repairing it.

Broken Window Repair

Broken Window Repair in West Covina ranges from replacing a single cracked pane to a full emergency board-up when glass shatters - and our Window Repair in Hacienda Heights covers the same full range of services. A cracked pane is a safety issue and a security issue. A broken window is an open invitation. We handle both. Single-pane glass replacement runs $85 to $250 depending on size and whether the glass is tempered. Double pane broken glass costs more because the entire IGU must be replaced, typically $180 to $450. If you have shattered glass on the floor, we can stabilize the opening and get the new glass ordered the same day.

Emergency Board-Up and Stabilization

When a window breaks at night or you can’t secure the opening, a technician can board up the window until replacement glass arrives. This prevents injuries from exposed edges and keeps your home from being open to the elements or to anyone passing by.

Tempered and Safety Glass

Building codes require tempered glass in certain locations like doors, sidelights, windows near the floor, and windows in or near showers. It shatters into small, dull pieces instead of dangerous shards. We verify what’s required for your opening and install glass that meets code.

Window Lock Repair

Window Lock Repair fixes latches, sash locks, and multi-point locking systems that no longer secure the window closed. In West Covina, a window lock that won’t engage is more than an annoyance. It means the window can be opened from outside. Most lock replacements cost $65 to $150 per lock, including the hardware and installation. We stock common lock styles for double-hung, sliding, and casement windows, and we can usually match the finish to your existing hardware.

Sliding Window Latch Failure

Sliding windows use a simple latch that can bend, snap, or wear down over years of use. A worn latch may look closed but won’t actually secure the sash. We replace the latch and adjust the alignment so it catches firmly every time.

Multi-Point Lock Repairs

Casement windows, especially newer ones, use multi-point locks that engage at several points along the frame. When one point fails or the mechanism binds, the window doesn’t seal tight. We repair or replace these mechanisms to restore full closure and a tight seal.

Window Crank Repair

Window Crank Repair fixes the mechanism that opens and closes casement and awning windows. When you turn the handle and the window doesn’t move, or it grinds and hesitates, the crank operator or the gear mechanism has likely failed. In West Covina, casement windows are common in mid-century homes and newer hillside builds, and those crank operators wear out with repeated use over decades. Crank repair or replacement runs $80 to $230 depending on the operator type and whether the window arm assembly needs replacing too.

Stripped Gears and Broken Operators

The gear teeth inside a crank operator are usually metal or reinforced plastic. When they strip, the handle spins freely. We replace the operator unit and confirm the window opens and closes smoothly before we leave.

Hardware Replacement for Obscure Window Lines

Older casement windows from smaller manufacturers can be hard to source parts for. We cross-match hardware across the brands we service, including PGT and ViewLux, and have access to suppliers that carry out-of-production operators.

Brands We Service

Hale Windows West Covina installs and services windows and doors from eight professional-grade brands: PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. That depth means we can match parts and hardware accurately instead of guessing at a universal fix. If you have a Mr-Glass impact window with a failed seal, we can source the exact replacement IGU specification. If your Therma-Tru door has a hardware issue, we stock the common latch and hinge sets. If your ViewLux casement window crank is stripped, we know the operator model you need.

We don’t push one brand. We service what you have, and we’ll tell you honestly if a repair no longer makes financial sense and replacement is the better path. Whether you have a PGT unit, a Mr-Glass window, or any other make, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• The window won’t stay open and slams shut. A failed balance or spiral spring means the full sash weight is unopposed, and that’s a hand injury waiting to happen. It also means the window is being forced through its travel every time you use it.
• Fog or moisture between the panes. The seal has failed, and the insulating gas has leaked out. The window’s energy performance is gone, and the fog will only get worse as temperatures swing through West Covina’s winter mornings.
• A cracked or broken pane. Cracked glass spreads, sharp edges are a safety hazard, and a broken pane leaves an opening a person can reach through. This is a security issue first and a comfort issue second.
• The lock won’t engage or the window doesn’t seal tight. If you can push the sash away from the frame, the window isn’t doing its job. Air leaks, moisture gets in, and the lock isn’t locking. A window that doesn’t secure is effectively an unlocked entry.
• The crank turns but the window doesn’t move. The operator is stripped or the arm assembly has failed. Forcing the handle does not help and usually damages the mechanism further.
