We fix what others rush to replace, bringing back a tight seal, smooth operation, and genuine cold-weather performance.

Across Minnesota, our crews take on everything from thermal break & condensation repair to track, roller & hardware service, with regular work in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington and the surrounding area.

Aluminum Window
Repair Solutions

Few window materials get tested the way aluminum does in Minnesota. Deep cold pulls heat straight through the metal, big temperature swings fatigue the seals, and ice works its way into tracks and joints. We pinpoint exactly where your frame is failing and restore the glass, hardware, or metal itself, so replacement stays a last resort rather than a first one.

Aluminum windows are strong and slim-framed, but the metal conducts cold readily, which becomes a real liability through a Minnesota winter when frost and condensation collect along the frames. Over time, failed thermal breaks, worn seals, and bent or corroded hardware leave these windows drafty and hard to operate. Our aluminum window repair service restores smooth sliding and cranking, replaces deteriorated weatherstripping and gaskets, and addresses condensation issues so the frames shed moisture instead of sweating. For Minnesota buildings, especially mid-century homes and commercial spaces where aluminum is common, this work recovers comfort and efficiency without the cost of swapping the entire system.

Thermal Break & Condensation Repair

Uninsulated aluminum turns frigid in a Minnesota winter, drawing warm room air to the dew point until frames frost and drip. We rebuild or add thermal breaks, renew weatherstripping, and reseal the glazing to stop the cold transfer and the condensation and ice it causes.

Frame Corrosion & Oxidation Treatment

Melting snow, de-icing salt, and trapped humidity leave aluminum chalky and pitted, especially along sills and corners. We halt the oxidation, treat the exposed metal, and refinish the surface so the frame stays sound instead of deteriorating season after season.

Track, Roller & Hardware Service

Ice, grit, and heavy use wear down the rollers and tracks on aluminum sliders until the sash drags or refuses to lock. We fit new rollers, repair bent or clogged tracks, and tune the hardware so the panel slides smoothly and seals out the cold.

Straightening Bent & Racked Frames

Years of settling, frost heave, and forced operation can twist an aluminum frame out of true, breaking the seal. Our technicians realign and reinforce the metal so sashes sit square, locks catch, and drafts stop sneaking through the gaps.

Insulated Glass & Pane Replacement

Cracked panes and fogged insulated units drag down comfort in older aluminum frames. We remove the failed glass and install energy-efficient replacement units sized to your frame, lifting insulation, clarity, and safety for Minnesota homes and commercial spaces alike.

What Goes Wrong With
Aluminum Windows

Aluminum windows frame everything from Craftsman porches in St. Paul to lakeside cabins and mid-century suburban ranches. Minnesota’s climate finds their limits every year, and understanding the cause lets us repair the real problem rather than default to replacement.

Ice and condensation on an aluminum window

Cold-Bridging, Frost, and Dripping Frames

Because aluminum moves heat so readily, a frame with a failed thermal break turns bitterly cold and literally pulls warmth out of the room. Indoor moisture then freezes to the metal and melts into puddles on the sill as temperatures swing. We reinstate the thermal barrier and reseal the unit so the frame holds warmth and stays dry through sub-zero stretches.

Pitted and corroded aluminum frame

Oxidation and Salt-Driven Pitting

Constant snowmelt and road and sidewalk de-icing salt accelerate oxidation on aluminum, leaving a chalky film and pitted corners that weaken over time. Catching it early lets us clean, treat, and refinish the metal, preserving the original frame long before replacement is ever on the table.

Bent aluminum frame joint

Warped Frames and Broken Joints

Frost heave, building settlement, and decades of hard use can rack an aluminum frame and split its corner joints. Once the geometry shifts, the sash no longer meets the weatherstrip and drafts pour in. We straighten the metal, rebuild the joints, and reset the sash so the opening closes square and tight again.

Aluminum slider roller and track

Sticking Sliders and Worn Hardware

On horizontal aluminum sliders, flattened rollers and ice-packed tracks make the sash grind, hop, or refuse to latch. Grit baked in over summer only makes it worse. We renew the rollers, repair the track, and realign the panel so it glides freely and locks down against the winter wind.

Apex Window Werks replaced the foggy glass on our kitchen window. They carefully removed the old glass pane and installed a new one, ensuring precise measurements and using silicone to secure it properly. From the first person I spoke to on the phone, to the couple of gentlemen who installed the glass, everyone was easy to talk to and they were all very professional. Highly recommended!

We had a broken seal in our thermopane window. The sales person came and measured, gave us a fair quote for a new thermopane window, and believe it or not, was installed the very next day! Very impressed with this company! Excellent service!

I got 3 quotes from other companies and Apex was the only company who said they could fix my window without replacing it. The guys came in and fixed the window in 20 minutes and I couldn’t be happier. Amazing service! I will be coming back for any window needs in the future. Thanks again for getting this taken care of so quickly!

Common Aluminum Window
Repair Questions

Is it worth repairing old aluminum windows or should I replace them?

For most problems, repair is the smarter call. Corrosion, bent frames, failed seals, and worn hardware can usually be fixed for a fraction of replacement cost. We only steer you toward replacement when the metal is structurally gone, and we tell you honestly after a free inspection.

How do you stop aluminum frames from frosting over in winter?

The frost comes from cold-bridging through the metal. We restore or add a thermal break, reseal the glazing, and renew the weatherstripping so the frame no longer chills to the dew point. That keeps indoor moisture from freezing to the aluminum during Minnesota’s coldest stretches.

Can you repair aluminum sliding windows that won't budge?

Yes. Stuck aluminum sliders almost always trace back to worn rollers and damaged or ice-clogged tracks. We replace the rollers, repair the track, and realign the sash so it glides smoothly and latches securely, with no full replacement required in the vast majority of cases.

Do you handle commercial aluminum window and storefront repairs?

Absolutely. We service both residential and commercial aluminum systems, including storefront framing, oversized fixed glass, and heavy-duty hardware. Our team schedules the work to limit disruption to your business and tenants while restoring a tight, secure seal.

How long does aluminum window repair usually take?

Most repairs are done in a single visit. Straightening a badly bent frame or ordering custom insulated glass can add a few days, but we confirm the schedule before starting so there are no surprises and your windows are back in service quickly.

Why do my aluminum window frames sweat and frost over during a Minnesota winter?

Aluminum conducts cold efficiently, so when frigid outdoor air meets warm indoor humidity at the frame, condensation and frost form. Worn seals and a failed thermal break make it worse. We can replace the weatherstripping, repair the seals, and improve the thermal separation to cut the sweating that threatens sills and walls in Minnesota homes.
