Window and screen repair
Quick answer
Most window problems are worn parts, not a bad window: balances that let the sash drop, rollers, cranks, locks and torn screens. HandyMangum repairs and rescreens windows, replaces hardware, and caulks around frames to keep water out. Fogged glass and full window replacement are jobs for a glass company, and we will say so. Call or text (407) 699-1123.
Repair before you replace
Florida homes have a lot of aluminum and vinyl single-hung and sliding windows. Parts wear out long before the frame does, and replacing parts is usually a small job.
Common window problems
- Sash will not stay up or drops
- Window hard to slide or stuck shut
- Broken locks or cranks
- Torn or missing screens, pool and porch screens
- Gaps, cracked caulk or water at the frame
- Window treatments and blinds to install

What affects the cost
- Window count. Doing several at once saves trips
- Parts. Common parts are quick; older or discontinued windows take longer to source
- Access. Second-floor windows need ladders
- Screen size and type. Large patio and pool screens take more time
- Rot or damage. Rotted wood sills add carpentry
How to free a sticky sliding window
Clean the track
Vacuum and wipe out the bottom track.
Lubricate
Use a dry silicone spray, not oil, which collects dirt.
Check the rollers
If it still drags, the rollers are worn and need replacing.

“These guys built a front room for us. They were great. This included building and installing framing, dry wall, texture, for a pony wall, windows, and a door. They were always reachable and attentive to questions/comments/concerns.”

Window and Screen Repair FAQs
Can you fix a window that will not stay open?
Usually yes. That is a worn balance, which we replace.
Do you replace fogged glass?
No. A fogged double-pane unit has a failed seal; a glass company replaces the glass unit.
Do you rescreen pool enclosures?
Small panels, yes. Full enclosures are a job for a screen enclosure company.
Do you install new windows?
Window replacement often needs a permit and product approvals in Florida; ask us and we will tell you what applies.
