It typically happens in July after a big storm rolls in off of the bay. The high winds cause stuck windows to finally open for good. Many South Tampa homeowners call us for their window repair needs. We offer South Tampa window repair from our office located at 420 W Tyson Ave. We are local and can usually be there within a few hours.
Our name says “sliding doors” but we actually fix windows all the time. Whether it’s worn rollers, jammed locks, foggy glass or torn screens, we look at what you have and fix it for you. Occasionally, we will suggest a new window, but usually a repair won’t last as long as a new one.

- Windows that stick, drag, or will not open
- Locks and latches that do not catch
- Cracked or broken glass
- Foggy glass between two panes
- Bent frames and worn tracks

Glass Repair Service in South Tampa
A cracked piece of glass may look unsightly, but it can also let in water and cold air and can break completely at any time. We service single pane, double pane, Low E glass and impact glass in South Tampa. In most cases, we can replace the glass and reuse the frame as opposed to replacing the entire window, which is less expensive and saves time.
Screen Repair in South Tampa
While new Florida windows are important, no job is complete without screens. Even the tiniest opening can invite bugs. We re-screen frames, replace distorted frames and repair individual screens on windows, pool enclosures and lanais. We even offer Pet Screen for owners of furry dogs and cats who can’t resist running into screens.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Window?
This is by far the most common question we receive. My honest answer to this question is that Repair makes sense only where the window frame is otherwise in good shape and the problem is a part (a roller, lock, balance, single pane of glass etc.) – and that Replacement is the best option where the window frame is severely rotten, severely bent or severely leaking (e.g. every time it rains). I will tell you whether repair or replacement is best for you even if the answer is the smaller of the two jobs.
Window Repair FAQs for South Tampa
Who is the best window repair service near me in South Tampa?
I would look for a local company with a real office, good Google reviews, and a repair-first business model. Our office is located at 4600 W Tyson Ave.
What do I do if my window will not lock?
Close the sash all the way to check for any dirt in the window track. If the latch still won’t catch, it’s possible that the lock or window has worked its way out of line. This is a common problem but is usually fixed on the next available visit.
How long does a window repair take?
Most repairs are completed while you wait; custom glass orders typically take a few days to arrive.
