Window repairs include everything from replacing broken glass panes to fixing sticking sashes and replacing old hardware. While you may be tempted to install replacement windows instead of repairing existing ones, there are several reasons why repair makes more sense. If you have antique glass or want to preserve the original windows to maintain your home's appearance, repair makes more sense than replacement.
Another reason why you should fix your old windows instead of installing new ones is if your windows are older. Old windows were designed to be repaired. Sashes, for example, were often made from old-growth lumber which can be repaired easily unlike modern windows.
Finally, replacement windows often remove a few inches of natural light because they are essentially "boxes" that fit inside an existing opening and their frames tend to cut out some of the light that would otherwise have been let in.
