Many homes throughout New Jersey still feature original wood windows that add architectural charm, craftsmanship, and long-term value to the property. However, years of exposure to rain, humidity, snow, moisture buildup, and seasonal temperature changes can cause wood windows to deteriorate, become drafty, or stop functioning properly. Professional wood window repair helps restore performance while preserving the original appearance and integrity of the home.
At Artan Window Solutions, we provide professional wood window repair services throughout New Jersey for residential and commercial properties. Our team repairs damaged wood windows, restores historic window systems, replaces deteriorated wood components, and helps homeowners preserve original windows whenever possible instead of replacing them unnecessarily.

Wood window problems are extremely common throughout older New Jersey homes where original windows have been exposed to years of moisture, humidity, changing weather conditions, and repeated repainting.
Our New Jersey wood window repair services help restore the functionality, appearance, and structural integrity of aging windows while improving insulation and energy efficiency.
Common wood window problems include:
- Rotten or deteriorated wood frames

- Cracked glazing putty
- Loose or rattling glass panes
- Warped wood window components

Many original wood windows can still be professionally repaired and restored even after decades of wear and deterioration.
Our Wood Window Repair Process
Every wood window repair project begins with a detailed inspection to identify structural issues, moisture damage, and operational problems.
Window Inspection and Assessment
We inspect the frame, sash, glazing, hardware, pulleys, balances, and surrounding wood components to determine the scope of repairs.
Wood Window Restoration
Damaged or deteriorated wood sections are carefully repaired or rebuilt using durable wood materials selected to match the original construction and architectural appearance.
Rotten Wood Repair
We remove compromised wood, rebuild damaged areas, and restore the structural integrity of the window frame and sash system.
Hardware and Mechanism Repair
We repair or replace broken sash cords, balances, hinges, locks, pulleys, and other window hardware components.
Glazing and Weatherproofing
We repair glazing putty, secure loose glass panes, and improve weather sealing to reduce drafts and moisture infiltration.
Sanding, Refinishing, and Adjustment
The restored wood window is sanded, refinished, adjusted, and tested to ensure smooth operation and proper alignment.
