Weathervane Wood Window Repair In The Seattle Area

Your home's windows have reached the end of their lifespan.

The first sign your window has a failed window seal is a swirling blue haze along the sides or top of a window. Another indication is moisture, fog, white fog or mineral crystal deposits on the inner glass surface of the double pane windows. Unfortunately the first Weathervane & Pozzi windows to fail will be the windows that get the most direct sunlight. Once a few windows in your 20+ year old home begin showing signs of seal failure, you can be sure that more will be following shortly.

 

The really good news!

As a general rule, full wood window replacement is three to four times more expensive than simply replacing the failed thermal pane window glass - and with Pozzi or Weathervane Wood Windows full window replacement is seldom necessary! We are experts in replacing just the double pane glass units in your Weathervane Wood Windows, so that your stained or painted window frames and sashes continue to match. Or for the quickest and least disruptive installation, we can remove and replace all the old sashes with identical matching new Lindal Wood Sashes. 

The good news is that you have three wood window repair and replacement options to choose from.

  1. Full Window Replacement - Replace your failing windows with Lindal Wood Windows that closely match the look of Weathervane Wood Windows, but are significantly superior due to Low-e, better design, fir instead of pine wood, and tighter tolerances for less drafts.

  2. Sash Replacement Only - Next best, and a less costly and less intrusive window upgrade option is to simply replace the window sash element without replacing the entire window frame. This an excellent lower cost option.

  3. Glass Replacement Only - For many homeowners, their Weathervane wood sashes and window frames are in perfectly fine condition, with little to no wood rot or damage, they just have the hazy foggy condensation between the double panes. In this case, our Signature Weathervane Glass Replacement Service is all that is needed.

 

A Quick History

Weathervane® Wood Windows was established in 1980 and manufactured wood windows that were the window of choice for homeowners and builders during the housing boom of the 80’s and 90’s. In 2001 Weathervane Wood Windows dissolved just as huge numbers of their windows began to experience seal failure. Shortly thereafter the name was used for another company which exclusively made vinyl windows (and is also now defunct!). Pozzi Wood Windows of that period were also very similar and suffer much of the same issues.

 

They were a good choice

Due to their age, Weathervane and Pozzi Wood Windows are now experiencing seal failures, and they have acquired a poor reputation that we feel is not entirely deserved. The average lifespan of well maintained Weathervane Wood Windows in the Seattle/Everett area has been 20-25 years - and that is nearly double the lifespan of the cheap builder-grade vinyl windows used in recent years!
