Windows & Blinds in Madison, WI
Window repair and replacement, jalousie louver service, and blind repair and installation handled with two decades of hands-on care for Dane County homes.
Windows carry a lot of a Wisconsin home's comfort. A sash that won't stay up, a window that sticks partway through its travel, or fogged glass between the panes all add up to drafts and frustration. We repair the operating parts — balances, stops, sashes, and hardware — and when a window is past repairing we replace it and trim it out to the opening. Many older Madison homes also have jalousie windows on porches and in breezeways, and those louvered operators wear out in a predictable way that we know how to fix.
Blinds are the other half of the window. Broken wands, tangled cords, and stuck tilts keep a perfectly good window from working the way you want. We repair those blinds and install new ones, mounting the brackets level and trimming the headrail to fit the opening.

How a Window or Blind Job Unfolds
Send photos of the window or blind
Pictures of the window, the sash or louver, and the hardware — plus a note on what's not working — are usually enough for an initial estimate by phone or email.
Identify repair vs. replacement
We determine whether the window can be saved with a balance, sash, or operator repair, or whether the frame or glass means it's time for a replacement.
Protect the surrounding area
Floors and furnishings under the window get covered, and we keep dust contained while we work.
Repair or replace
Balances, stops, operators, or blind hardware are replaced, or the old window comes out and the new one goes in and gets trimmed.
Test, seal, and clean up
We run the sash or louver through its full range, confirm it latches, and leave the area clean.
What to Know About Madison-Area Windows
A slipping sash is usually a balance. When a double-hung window won't stay up, the balance has lost its tension. Replacing it brings the window back rather than propping it open with a stick.
Jalousie operators fail as a set. When one louver stops moving, the rest usually follow. We replace the crank operator and pivot clips so all the louvers open and close together.
Fogged glass means a failed seal. Moisture between the panes is a broken seal, not a cleaning problem. That window needs replacement rather than repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a window that won't stay open or won't close right?+
Yes. Windows that slip down, stick, or won't latch usually have a worn balance, a shifted sash, or a loose stop. We repair or replace the failing parts and re-seat the sash so the window operates the way it should.
Do you replace windows?+
Yes. When a window is past repairing — rotted frame, fogged or broken glass, or a sash that won't hold — we replace the window and trim it out to match the opening and the surrounding finish.
What is jalousie window repair?+
Jalousie windows are the louvered glass windows common in older homes, porches, and breezeways. Their crank operators and pivot clips wear out, leaving louvers that won't open or close together. We replace those operators and clips so the louvers move as a set again.
Can you fix or install window blinds?+
Yes. We repair blinds with broken wands, tangled cords, or stuck tilts, and we install new blinds by mounting the brackets level and trimming the headrail to fit the window opening.
How is window and blind work estimated?+
Most window and blind repairs can be estimated from a photo and a quick description of what's not working. Send pictures of the window or blind and the issue, and we can usually give you an initial estimate by phone or email.
