Casement Window Installation and Replacement in Adairsville, North Georgia and Atlanta

A casement window should crank open with one hand and pull shut like a car door, tight and quiet. When yours takes both hands, grinds halfway, or lets in a draft even when it is closed, the hardware or the seal has worn out. Revived Windows and Doors LLC installs and replaces casement windows for homeowners across Adairsville, North Georgia and the Atlanta area, with free consultations and clear written estimates.

Years Experience

What Is a Casement Window?

A casement window is hinged on one side and swings outward like a door when you turn a crank handle. Unlike a double hung window that slides up and down, a casement opens fully, so you get the widest view and the most fresh air of any window style.
The other big advantage is the seal. When you crank a casement shut, the sash presses into the frame from all four sides and the lock pulls it tight. A sliding window can never seal that firmly. This is why casement windows are one of the most energy efficient styles you can put in a home, and why they are a favourite in bedrooms, kitchens and anywhere a tight seal matters.

Common Casement Window Problems We Fix

If you are searching for casement window help, one of these is probably happening in your home.

The crank is stiff, spins freely, or has stopped working

The crank mechanism, called the operator, is the part that fails first on a casement window. Inside it is a small gear that wears down over years of use. When it slips, the handle turns but the window barely moves. Forcing it usually strips the gear completely and can bend the arm attached to the sash. Often we can replace just the operator instead of the whole window, which saves you a lot of money.

The window sags or scrapes when you open it

Casement sashes hang on hinges that carry the full weight of the glass every time the window swings out. Over time the hinge track wears and the sash drops slightly. Now the bottom corner catches on the frame, the window is hard to close, and the lock will not line up. Left alone, the sagging gets worse and eventually damages the frame itself.

You feel a draft even with the window locked

The weather stripping around a casement compresses every time you close it. After enough years it hardens, cracks and stops springing back. The window looks shut but air is moving straight through. You will notice it most on cold mornings and windy days, and you will notice it again on your power bill.

The window will not lock or the lock is hard to turn

A casement lock pulls the sash into the frame. If the sash has shifted or the hinges have worn, the lock no longer lines up with the keeper. Beyond the frustration, this is a security problem, because an unlocked window is the easiest way into a house.

Fog or moisture between the panes

If your casement has double-pane glass and you can see cloudiness or water droplets trapped inside, the seal between the panes has failed. The insulating gas has escaped and the window is no longer doing its job. This one cannot be cleaned or repaired. The glass unit or the window needs replacing.

Wood rot around the frame

Because casement windows open outward, rain runs over the sill and the bottom of the sash constantly. On older wood casements this is where rot starts. Soft spots, bubbling paint and dark stains at the bottom corners are the warning signs. Catching it early keeps it a small repair.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Casement Window?

We give you the honest answer, not the expensive one. Here is roughly how we look at it.

Repair usually makes sense when

  • The crank or operator has failed but the sash and frame are still solid
  • The hinges are worn and the window sags, but the wood is sound
  • The weather stripping has hardened and needs replacing
  • Only the glass is cracked or fogged and the frame is in good shape
  • The lock or handle is broken

Replacement is the better value when

  • The frame or sill is rotted through and no longer holds a screw
  • The window is old enough that replacement hardware is no longer made
  • Several problems are stacked together, so repairs cost close to a new unit
  • The window is single-pane and you are paying for it every month in energy
  • The sash is warped and will never seal properly again
During the free consultation we look at the actual window, tell you which side of that line it falls on, and price both options where it is a close call. Plenty of our customers come in expecting to replace and leave with a repair that cost a fraction of it.

Why Homeowners Choose Casement Windows

  • Best in class seal, which means lower heating and cooling bills
  • The full opening clears, so you get far more fresh air than a sliding window
  • A wide, uninterrupted view with no rail across the middle of the glass
  • Easy to reach and operate, which makes them ideal above a kitchen sink or countertop
  • The crank means no lifting, so they are a good choice for older homeowners
  • Locks are built into the frame and are hard to force from outside
  • Large casements can meet egress requirements for bedrooms and finished basements
  • Both sides of the glass can be cleaned from inside the room

Things to Know Before You Choose Casement

We would rather tell you this now than after installation.

  • Casements swing outward, so they are not ideal directly over a walkway, deck or patio where the open sash is in the way
  • The screen sits on the inside of the window, which some homeowners prefer and some do not
  • A strong wind can catch an open sash, so they should be closed in storms
  • The hardware does the work, so quality of the operator matters more than on other window styles

If a casement is not the right fit for a particular opening, we will say so and suggest a better style for that spot.

Our Casement Window Installation Process

01

Free consultation and inspection

We look at the window, test the crank, check the hinges, press the frame for soft spots, and find out whether the real problem is the hardware, the seal or the frame. Then we tell you plainly what it needs.

02

Exact measurements

Casement windows are unforgiving about size. Measure the opening slightly off and the sash will bind against the frame from day one. We measure width, height and diagonal so we know if the opening is out of square before we order anything.

03

Choosing your window

We go through frame material, glass package and hinge direction with you. Vinyl is the popular low maintenance choice in Georgia. Low-E double-pane glass keeps the summer heat out. Hinge direction matters more than people expect, because it decides which way the window catches breeze and whether it blocks a walkway.

04

Clear written estimate

Full price in writing before we begin, covering the window, labour, removal of the old unit and finish work.

05

Removal and preparation

We protect your floors, remove the old casement carefully, and repair any damaged sill or framing underneath. On outward opening windows the sill takes the most water, so this step matters here more than on most styles.

06

Installation and adjustment

The new window is set level, plumb and square, then shimmed to hold that position. We insulate, flash and seal around it so water runs out and away from the wall instead of into it. Then we adjust the hinges and operator and test the crank and lock until the window opens smoothly and pulls shut tight.

07

Finish and cleanup

Trim is finished inside and out, the old window is hauled away, and we walk the job with you before we leave. We also show you how to keep the hardware working, which takes about a minute and adds years of life to the window.

Keeping Your Casement Windows Working

  • Wipe the track and hinge arm clear of dirt and grit a couple of times a year
  • Put a little dry lubricant on the hinge arms so the operator is not fighting friction
  • Never force a stiff crank. Stop and have it checked, because forcing it strips the gear
  • Close and lock the window in high wind so the sash is not caught and bent
  • Check the weather stripping each autumn and press it with your finger. If it stays flat, it needs replacing

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Installation

Can you fix just the crank instead of replacing the whole window?
In most cases yes. The operator is a replaceable part. As long as the sash and frame are sound and the part is still available for your window, replacing the crank mechanism is a quick, affordable fix.
Usually a little, because of the hardware and hinges. Many homeowners make it back over time through the tighter seal and lower energy bills, especially when replacing old single-pane windows.
A straightforward replacement takes a couple of hours per window. If the sill or framing underneath is rotted, add time for that repair. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Can a casement window be used as an egress window?
Yes, provided it is large enough to meet the clear opening requirement. Because the whole sash swings clear, casements often meet egress in a smaller opening than a sliding window would need. This makes them a strong choice for bedrooms and finished basements.
It usually means the sash has dropped on worn hinges or the frame has shifted. It is not an emergency, but it gets worse and it eventually damages the frame, so it is cheaper to look at it early.
A properly installed and sealed casement should not. Leaks almost always come from failed weather stripping, a sash that no longer closes tight, or flashing that was not installed correctly. All three are fixable.
Yes. That is one of the practical advantages of casement windows, and a real benefit on upper floors.

Book Your Free Casement Window Estimate

A stiff crank, a sagging sash or a draft you can feel through a closed window will not fix itself, and each of them gets more expensive the longer it waits. A stripped operator is a small part. A rotted sill is not.
