- Single-hung: Single-hung windows are like double-hung windows but with a single sash instead. Costs average between $92–$1,544.
- Skylight: Skylights are ceiling windows. They cost in the range of $116–$1,394.

What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Chapel Hill?
Consider these important factors before choosing a window repair specialist in Chapel Hill.
Can you fix the window on your own?
Though DIY window repair could save money initially, it might result in higher costs in the long run. You could probably manage easy fixes like putting on caulk, but hiring an expert helps prevent issues.
Talk to multiple window companies to get quotes from them. Decide whether the service is worth paying or whether you are capable of managing the repair on your own.
What type of window do you need repaired?
To get help from a professional, you first have to identify which window type needs to be fixed. Check our list above to figure out what kind of windows you have.
Is your damaged window affecting your energy bill?
Damaged windows could increase bills due to a loss of energy efficiency. Heat gain or loss through windows leads your home’s heating and cooling systems to overexert to keep your house comfortable.
Good energy-efficient windows may reduce your bills by around an average of $354 annually, per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. If your costs are increasing, ask your repair expert about efficiency solutions.
Our methodology for selecting window repair services
The Homefront Local team employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that evaluates companies based on key factors you value, such as average customer review ratings and trustworthiness indicators. Our method for determining trust involves a comparative analysis of the number of reviews a company receives compared to its local competitors. This leads to companies that have earned more trust from your local community being awarded a higher score.
We review national windows providers against our full windows methodology. We score window repair providers based on window options, energy-efficiency features, warranties, reputation and reviews, customer service and services provided.
