Highlights:
In Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood, a crucial project was recently undertaken by WindowFix to correct a faulty window installation affecting 200 windows. The company expertly tackled the issue by fitting 360 Caldwell Ultra Lift balances, Class 5, which were designed to handle 70% of the sash’s weight, ensuring a more reliable solution for the property’s residents.
To address the issue, WindowFix first removed the existing window balances and shoes, preparing the way for the custom installation. Each Ultra Lift balance was carefully tailored to match the exact weight of the window sash it supported. This level of precision ensured that every window was not only fully functional but operated with ease and consistency. The previous problems caused by improper installation were resolved, providing residents with a long-overdue solution that met their needs.
A critical component of the installation was WindowFix’s focus on detail. Their team paid close attention when removing old screws and followed a precise squaring and shimming method to guarantee perfect alignment. This approach significantly improved the overall stability and performance of the windows, enhancing both their functionality and appearance. Additionally, the frames were re-caulked, further boosting the windows’ durability while also giving them a refreshed look.
One of the biggest challenges was executing the work in a fully occupied building. Aware of the importance of minimizing disruptions, WindowFix carefully planned and coordinated the project to avoid disturbing the residents’ daily routines. Through efficient scheduling and a well-organized workflow, they ensured a smooth installation process, completing the work without unnecessary interruptions.
Initially, residents had been frustrated with the poor performance of their windows due to the previous faulty installation. However, once WindowFix completed the necessary repairs, the windows worked flawlessly, exceeding residents’ expectations. The improvements not only resolved the immediate functionality issues but also contributed to a more comfortable and enjoyable living environment. Residents were pleased with the results, as the new installations enhanced both the aesthetic and operational quality of their homes.

By addressing the problem promptly and with expertise, they restored the residents’ trust and elevated their reputation as a reliable provider of window solutions.
