Our Hopper
Window Repair Services

We specialize in professional window repair for hopper windows installed throughout Chicago homes, from older wood windows to modern vinyl windows. Our skilled technicians focus on restoring optimal functionality without unnecessary window replacement.

Insulated Glass Unit Replacement

Foggy glass, condensation between panes, or cracked glass often indicate broken seals in double pane windows. We replace failed insulated glass units while preserving the existing window frame, restoring energy efficiency, clarity, and insulation without replacing the entire window.

Window Frame Restoration and Repair

Moisture infiltration can lead to rotted wood, warped frames, and compromised structural integrity. We restore damaged wood and vinyl hopper window frames, eliminate soft spots, and reinforce weakened areas to protect against heat loss, pests, and further deterioration.

Professional Seal and Weatherstrip Replacement

Drafts, moisture intrusion, and rising energy bills are often caused by failed seals. We install high-performance seals and weatherstripping designed to eliminate drafts, improve insulation, and reduce heating and cooling costs in Chicago’s extreme climate.

Hopper Window Screen Repair and Replacement

Damaged or torn screens limit ventilation and allow insects and debris inside. We replace screens, repair damaged frames, and ensure a tight, secure fit that supports maximum airflow while maintaining protection.

Moisture and Condensation Control Repairs

Basement and ground-level hopper windows are especially vulnerable to condensation and moisture buildup. We address seal failures, glass issues, and frame gaps that contribute to moisture problems, protecting your home from mold and long-term damage.

Hardware and Security Lock Repair

Loose, corroded, or damaged hardware can prevent hopper windows from closing securely. We repair or upgrade locks, latches, and hardware components to restore proper closure, security, and peace of mind.

Common Hopper Window
Problems We Fix

Hopper windows are durable, but constant exposure to moisture and temperature changes can cause problems over time.

Drafts and Heat Loss

Gaps, worn seals, and inefficient windows allow cold air in and warm air out. We restore tight seals and improve insulation to protect comfort and energy efficiency.

Condensation and Moisture

Condensation on hopper windows signals seal failure or poor ventilation. We repair seals and thermal breaks to eliminate moisture, preventing mold and rot at the source.

Sticking or Inoperable Windows

Damaged hinges, balance systems, or warped frames can make hopper windows difficult to open. Our repairs restore effortless operation and proper ventilation.

Cracked Glass or Foggy Panes

Cracked glass and failed seals reduce visual appeal and security. We replace damaged glass panes while preserving the entire window when possible.

What Our Clients Say

Apex experts came by quickly, were professional, and finished the estimate on the spot. The office followed up with me over the next few weeks as I wasn't ready to make a decision. I then affirmed to move ahead, they scheduled within a week. The installation crew was polite, and professional and did great work. The cost was a good value for the work done. I would highly recommend it. I'm delighted to have my two windows fixed. The one I can open again and the other I can see clearly out again.

Joanne Couture, Arlington Heights, IL

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!

Ofelia Miguel, Joliet, IL

Service technicians were polite and professional. They removed damaged parts of the window, cut new pieces to fit, stained the wood, and installed them nicely. The team cleaned up as if they were never there. I would recommend Apex Windows Werks for your window repair. Friends living near me ordered window repairs based on my recommendation as well.

Glenn Kaupert Chicago, IL

Had someone come out to look at a few windows I’m having issues with - none of them needed a full frame replacement at the moment but the technician was incredibly kind and informative. The technician determined that replacing the entire window frame was not necessary, which saved me both time and money. I feel confident about caring for my current windows, I know what to look for to let me know replacements are needed, and I will definitely be coming back to Apex when that is the case. Thank you!

Alyssa Nickow, Elgin, IL

I was thrilled that Apex Windows Werks had the right parts, and was able to come right out and repair my window on site. They were very prompt, and they saved me quite a bit of money over the replacement quote I got from another window company that didn’t do repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hopper windows be repaired without full replacement?

Yes. In many cases, hopper windows can be repaired without replacing the entire window. We regularly fix hinges, balance systems, seals, glass panes, and hardware while preserving the existing frame, restoring proper function and energy efficiency.

How long does hopper window repair usually take?

Most hopper window repairs are completed in one to two hours. Simple repairs like hardware adjustment, seal replacement, or screen repair are often handled during the initial visit. More involved glass or frame repairs may require additional time or a follow-up appointment.
