Expert Milgard
Window Repair Services
Milgard’s reputation for innovation spans from their groundbreaking vinyl formulations to their advanced fiberglass technology. When these windows need service, generic repair approaches simply won’t do. Our specialized repair protocols address the unique construction of each Milgard series while preserving the features that set them apart from ordinary windows.
Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) Replacement
Foggy, cracked, or broken glass in your Milgard windows doesn't require full window replacement. Our certified technicians expertly remove failed insulated glass units while protecting your original frames, then install premium IGUs with argon gas fill and low-E coatings that match or exceed Milgard's specifications.
Frame Repair & Restoration
Our vinyl frame repairs address stress cracks and warping caused by Chicago's extreme temperature swings, while our fiberglass restoration employs aerospace-grade bonding for invisible, permanent repairs. For aluminum frames, we rebuild compromised thermal barriers, straighten structural damage, and apply protective coatings that prevent future corrosion.
Hardware Replacement & Adjustment
Milgard's sophisticated hardware systems, including SmartTouch® locks and multi-point locking mechanisms, require expert service when they malfunction. We diagnose the entire mechanical system, source genuine Milgard replacement parts or manufacture custom solutions for discontinued components.
Weatherstripping & Seal Renewal
Worn weatherstripping allows costly air infiltration and moisture damage in Milgard windows. We replace deteriorated seals with premium weatherstripping engineered to match Milgard's exact compression specifications and performance standards. This essential service eliminates drafts, reduces outside noise, cuts energy costs, and restores the weather-tight seal that protects your home.
Sash & Balance System Repair
When Milgard windows become difficult to open or won't stay in position, our balance system repair restores effortless operation. We service all balance types using precision calibration tools to achieve optimal spring tension. Our comprehensive sash repair includes alignment adjustment and hardware verification to ensure your windows operate smoothly at any position.

Performance Casements Windows
Milgard casements revolutionized ventilation control with their smooth crank operation and superior sealing. When age affects these precision windows, we rebuild the entire operating system — not just the visible parts.
Classic Single-Hung Windows
These traditional beauties hide sophisticated engineering behind their simple appearance. Our single-hung window specialists understand the delicate balance between sash weight and spring tension.

The Tuscany Series double-hung windows represent Milgard's pinnacle of traditional design. Their twin sash operation requires perfect synchronization, which we achieve through meticulous adjustment and component matching.

When your view becomes obscured by failed seals, we provide clarity — literally. Our picture window glass replacement service handles even oversized units with precision, ensuring perfect seal integrity and optimal thermal performance. We've successfully restored picture windows other companies said were "unrepairable".

Specialized Milgard
Door Repair Solutions
The engineering excellence of Milgard doors becomes apparent in their sophisticated multi-point locking systems, precision track designs, and heavy-duty construction.. Our door repair specialists bring a deep understanding of these complex mechanisms to every repair, ensuring your investment continues performing as designed.
Glass Panel Replacement
Cracked or foggy glass in your Milgard patio doors compromises both security and energy efficiency. Our rapid-response team stocks common Milgard door glass sizes for same-day replacement and can fabricate custom configurations within 48 hours. We offer upgraded options including impact-resistant laminated glass and enhanced solar coatings, with every installation featuring new glazing beads and waterproof seals.
Sliding Door Track & Roller Service
When Milgard sliding patio doors become difficult to operate, our comprehensive track and roller service restores smooth gliding motion. We deep-clean tracks using industrial equipment, resurface worn areas, and replace damaged rollers with sealed-bearing units designed for heavy door panels.
Multi-Point Lock System Repair
Milgard's advanced locking mechanisms, including the innovative SmartTouch® system, provide superior security when properly maintained. Our certified technicians diagnose and rebuild these sophisticated systems using upgraded components that exceed original durability specifications.
Hardware Repair & Replacement
From elegant Madrona™ handles to contemporary Meridian™ and Mastri™ designs, we restore all Milgard door hardware to original beauty and function. Our services include refinishing tarnished finishes, replacing worn internal mechanisms, and sourcing authentic replacement parts. When original hardware can't be salvaged, we provide architecturally appropriate alternatives that maintain your door's design integrity.
Threshold & Bottom Seal Replacement
Worn thresholds and door bottom seals allow water damage, energy loss, and pest intrusion into your home. We custom-mill thresholds for proper drainage slope and install commercial-grade triple-fin seals with memory-foam cores. This precision installation creates an impenetrable barrier against drafts, moisture, and insects while maintaining smooth door operation.
Hinge Service & Door Realignment
Sagging Milgard doors indicate hinge wear or frame settling that compromises both operation and efficiency. Using laser alignment tools, we precisely adjust door positioning, rebuild worn hinge mortises, and upgrade to heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges where needed. For French doors, we ensure both panels meet perfectly, eliminating gaps that waste energy and compromise security.

Collections We Service
Contemporary Sliding Door Systems
Today's Milgard sliders blur the line between indoors and out with massive glass panels and minimal frames. We maintain these architectural statements with services addressing their unique challenges — from heavy panel support to expansive seal maintenance. Our work ensures these modern marvels continue making dramatic design statements.
French Door Sliders
The genius of French-style sliding doors lies in their combination of classical aesthetics with modern convenience. We preserve both aspects through careful attention to decorative details while ensuring mechanical excellence. Even the simulated divided lites receive individual attention during our service.

These doors demand perfection — both panels must align precisely for proper operation and appearance. Our French door specialists use custom alignment fixtures to ensure both leaves operate in perfect harmony. We also address the unique challenges of active and inactive panel coordination.
Space-Saving Out-Swing French Doors
Exterior-swinging doors face unique weather challenges. Our service includes enhanced hinge protection, reinforced weathersealing, and security upgrades that address their exposure to elements. We ensure these doors remain both beautiful and bulletproof against Chicago weather.
Architectural Moving Walls
Milgard's moving glass wall systems represent the pinnacle of indoor-outdoor living. These multi-panel systems require orchestrated adjustment of numerous components. Our technicians approach these projects with the patience and precision they demand, ensuring every panel stacks, slides, and seals perfectly.

from Milgard Owners
My Milgard dealer said my windows can't be repaired. Is that true?

How do you handle Milgard's proprietary components?
Through years of experience, we’ve developed sources for virtually every Milgard component. When original parts aren’t available, we work with precision manufacturers to create exact replacements. Our custom solutions often exceed original equipment specifications.
Can you maintain my Milgard warranty during repairs?
We structure our repairs to preserve existing warranty coverage whenever possible. Our documentation and repair methods meet manufacturer standards. In many cases, our repairs actually enhance reliability beyond original warranty expectations.
What about energy efficiency upgrades during repair?
Absolutely! Repair visits offer perfect opportunities for efficiency upgrades. We can install advanced glass coatings, enhanced weathersealing, and improved hardware that dramatically reduces energy consumption. Many customers see immediate utility bill reductions.
