Our Replacement Process
Initial Assessment
We inspect the window mechanism, assess the extent of damage, and determine the best replacement option for your specific situation.
Careful Removal
We carefully remove the staff bead and lower sash to access the sash box and pulley system without damaging the window frame.
Pulley Inspection
We inspect and service the pulleys, cleaning and lubricating as needed. Worn pulleys are replaced to ensure smooth operation.
New Cord Installation
New cords are expertly threaded through the pulley system and attached to the sash weights, ensuring proper tension and balance.
Testing & Adjustment
We test the window operation extensively, making fine adjustments to ensure smooth, balanced movement and proper closure.
