Foggy, cracked, or failed double-pane glass swapped without replacing the whole window when the frame is still good. The honest cheaper fix when it's the right call.
When the frame is fine, you don't need a new window.
That haze between the panes means the seal on the insulated glass unit failed and the argon leaked out. The frame and sash are usually still perfectly good, so you don't need to replace the whole window. We measure the glass, order a new sealed unit, and swap it into your existing sash, which costs a fraction of a full replacement.
We'll be straight with you about when this is the right call and when it isn't. If the frame is rotted or the window is single-pane and you want efficiency, replacement makes more sense, and we'll say so. But if you've got a few fogged units in good frames, glass replacement is the smart, cheaper fix, and a lot of installers won't even offer it.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does foggy window repair cost in Bellingham?
Sealed-unit (glass) replacement runs about $150 to $500 per unit in Bellingham, depending on size and glass type. That's far less than replacing the whole window, which is why it's the right call when the frame is still good. We quote it per unit for free.
Why do double-pane windows fog up between the panes?
The insulated glass unit has a sealed air space, often filled with argon, between the panes. Over time, especially in our damp climate, that seal can fail and let moisture in, which shows up as haze or fog you can't wipe off. The fix is a new sealed unit.
Can you just replace the glass instead of the whole window?
Yes, as long as the frame and sash are sound. We measure the failed unit, order a matching insulated glass unit, and swap it into your existing sash. If the frame is rotted or you want better efficiency from an old single-pane window, we'll tell you replacement makes more sense.
