If you need window repair in Canmore, the right starting point is figuring out whether the window is actually broken or just tired. Many windows look beyond saving when they are not. Windows Canmore has repaired and serviced more than 400 windows across the Bow Valley since 2014, from foggy IGU replacements on 1990s Three Sisters Mountain Village condos to crank and balance fixes on heritage Banff homes. We will tell you honestly whether a repair gets you another 10 years or whether full replacement is the better long-term value.

What we repair

Foggy or moisture-filled glass

Replace the insulating glass unit (IGU) inside the existing frame. Typically $300 to $600 per pane depending on size and spec.

Broken crank handles

Casement and awning operators wear out. We carry stock and replacement parts for most major brands going back to the 1990s.

Failed balance springs

Double-hung sashes that slam shut or won't stay up. Spring balances are replaceable in 20 to 40 minutes per window.

Sliding window rollers

Worn rollers on horizontal sliders create binding and gouged tracks. We replace rollers and adjust tracks.

Weatherstripping replacement

Draughts at the perimeter often trace to compressed or torn weatherstripping. New strips restore the air seal.

Cracked or shot glass

Branch strikes, rock chips, and impact cracks. Replacement glass to match the existing spec.

Repair vs replace: how we decide

Three factors usually decide whether a repair makes sense or a full replacement is the better call:

  1. Frame condition. If the frame is sound, repair is almost always the right move. If the frame has water damage or warping, replacement is the long-term value.
  2. Number of windows affected. One or two foggy units? Repair. Eight or more? A full-home replacement project often costs less per opening than separate repair visits.
  3. Energy performance. Older double-pane windows even when repaired stay at a U-factor around 0.45. Modern triple-pane is around 0.17. If your priority is heating bills, replacement is the answer regardless.

Window Repair FAQs

Can you repair foggy windows in Canmore?add
Foggy windows mean the insulating glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. The fix is to replace the glass unit inside the existing frame. We can usually do this without replacing the whole window if the frame is sound.
How much does an IGU replacement cost?add
Typical IGU replacement runs $300 to $600 per glass unit depending on size, glazing spec, and access. Compared to roughly $1,000 to $1,600 for a full window replacement, IGU repair is often the right choice when the frame is in good shape.
Do you fix broken hardware on older casement windows?add
Yes. We carry cranks, sash locks, balance springs, and roller assemblies for most major Canadian and US manufacturers from the last 20 years. Single hardware visits typically take under 2 hours.
Will a foggy window get worse if I leave it?add
Cosmetically yes, structurally not really. Once a seal fails, the unit has already lost most of its insulating value. The fogging gets more noticeable but the energy hit is the same on day one as year five.
