That Foggy, Streaky Window Isn't Dirty—The Seal Failed

Here's the problem Boise homeowners face every day: you've got a window that looks permanently dirty. You've tried cleaning it from the inside. You've tried cleaning it from the outside. Nothing works. That's because the dirt is between the glass panes—and there's only one way to fix it.

Most contractors will tell you to replace the entire window for $800-1,500. That's ridiculous. The frame is fine. The hardware works. You just need new glass.

I'll replace just the glass for $375-400 in 30 minutes. Same window, new glass, half the cost. No trim removal, no painting required, minimal disruption.

Idaho Winters Are Brutal

When it's -10°F outside and your window seal has failed, you're losing half your insulation. Your heating bill spikes. Your HVAC works overtime. And that window looks permanently foggy and embarrassing. Don't wait—fix it now before winter hits hard.

Failed window seal with vertical streaks - window repair needed in Boise Idaho

This is what a failed seal looks like—vertical streaks that won't wipe away

How to Know Your Window Seal Failed

These are the telltale signs Boise homeowners see every day

1. Vertical or Horizontal Streaks That Won't Wipe Away

Cole's explanation: "If you see vertical or horizontal streaks that look like water stains but won't wipe away—inside or out—that's moisture trapped between the panes. If you can't clean it inside or outside, the dirt is between the glass."

2. Hazy Rainbow Effect Around Edges

When moisture gets between the panes, it creates a prism effect—you'll see a rainbow-like haze around the edges of the glass. This is a dead giveaway that the seal is toast.

3. Mold Spots Growing Between Panes

If you see dark spots or mold growing inside the glass that you can't reach, the seal has been failed for a while. Moisture + warmth = mold growth. This is especially common in Boise bathrooms and kitchens.

4. Cold Spots - You Can FEEL the Difference

Cole's words: "Stand next to that window on a cold day and you'll feel it. Your heating bill feels it too." A properly sealed window has an R-value around 7. When the seal fails, you're down to R-3—losing half your insulating power.

5. Permanent Fog or Cloudiness

The classic sign. Your window looks like it has permanent condensation between the glass panes. It never dries out, never goes away. That's because the argon gas has leaked out and moisture has gotten in.

6. Mineral Deposits or White Film

Sometimes you'll see a white film or mineral deposits that won't come off. This happens when moisture evaporates and leaves minerals behind—trapped forever between your panes.

Moldy foggy window from failed seal - common in Boise Idaho winters

Why Failed Seals Are a BIG Problem in Boise, Idaho

Idaho winters are brutal. We're talking -10°F temps in January and February. When your window seal fails, you're not just dealing with an ugly window—you're hemorrhaging money on heating bills.

❄️
Energy Loss: Failed seals drop your R-value from R-7 to R-3. Your heating system works overtime. Your power bill spikes 30-50%.
👀
Looks Permanently Dirty: It's embarrassing. Your neighbors notice. Guests notice. You've tried cleaning it a hundred times and it never works.
🏘️
Affects All Boise Neighborhoods: North End historic homes, Bench area newer construction, East Boise subdivisions from the 90s-2000s, Meridian and Eagle rapid expansion homes—windows are aging everywhere.
🌡️
Boise's Temperature Swings: We go from -10°F in winter to 100°F+ in summer. This extreme cycling is brutal on window seals. Most seals fail within 10-20 years.

⚠️ Many Boise homeowners try cleaning their foggy windows for months before realizing it's a failed seal. Don't waste your time—if you can't clean it from either side, you need glass replacement.

The Smart Fix: Replace Glass, Not the Whole Window

Save 50%+ and get it done in 30 minutes, not 3 hours

Cole's Process (The Right Way)

"I cut out the old glass, install a brand new insulated unit, 30 minutes per window." That's it. Here's exactly what happens:

✓ Cost: $375-400 per window (Cole's actual pricing in Boise)
✓ 30 minutes per window installation time
✓ No trim removal required
✓ No painting required
✓ No siding work required
✓ Minimal disruption - in and out
✓ Low-E glass with argon fill included
✓ 10-year warranty on glass and labor

🚀 THE DIFFERENTIATOR

Cole's quote: "While other companies quote 3-4 weeks for glass, my distributor delivers twice a week. Call Monday, installed Tuesday." This is because Cole uses a local Boise distributor that delivers twice per week—not some out-of-state manufacturer.

Full Window Replacement (The Expensive Way)

Most contractors will push you toward full window replacement because they make more money. Here's what you're actually getting into:

✗ Cost: $800-1,500+ per window
✗ 3 hours per window installation
✗ Trim removal and repainting required
✗ Possible siding work
✗ 3-4 weeks lead time for product
✗ Major construction project

You don't need a new window. Your frame is fine. Your hardware works. You just need new glass. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Window Repair in Boise Idaho

How much does window repair cost in Boise Idaho?

Window glass replacement typically costs $375-400 per unit in Boise. This is 50% less than full window replacement which runs $800-1,500 per window. Free estimates provided. Most installations completed in 30 minutes. Call (208) 949-7019 for exact quote.

Can you fix foggy windows in Boise without replacing the whole window?

Yes! Foggy windows are caused by failed seals in the insulated glass unit. I cut out the old glass and install a brand new sealed unit—keeping your existing frame, hardware, and trim. This saves you hundreds compared to full window replacement and takes only 30 minutes per window.

How fast can you get glass for window repair in Boise?

Glass arrives in 1-2 business days from our local Boise supplier. My distributor delivers twice a week—so if you call Monday, glass often arrives Tuesday morning and is installed Tuesday afternoon. While other companies quote 3-4 weeks for glass, we deliver next-day in most cases.

What causes windows to get foggy in Boise Idaho?

Foggy windows are caused by seal failure in double-pane insulated glass. Idaho's extreme temperature swings—from -10°F winters to 100°F+ summers—stress window seals over time. When the seal breaks, moisture gets trapped between the panes causing permanent fog, streaks, or water stains that won't wipe away. This reduces your window's insulating power from R-7 to R-3, dramatically increasing energy bills.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency window repair in Boise?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency window repair throughout Boise and the Treasure Valley. For broken windows, we'll board up immediately to secure your home (usually within 2 hours), then schedule glass replacement once it arrives (typically 1-2 business days). Idaho winters don't wait—call (208) 949-7019 anytime.

What's included in your 10-year warranty?

All window glass replacements come with a 10-year warranty covering the insulated glass unit, installation labor, and seal integrity. If you have any issues—seal failure, installation problems, anything—I'll make it right. No questions asked. This is my reputation on the line.

How to fix condensation on windows?

Condensation between window panes means the seal has failed and cannot be fixed—the glass unit must be replaced. However, condensation on the inside of your windows (room-side) is usually caused by high indoor humidity and can be reduced with dehumidifiers or better ventilation. If you see moisture or fog between the glass panes, that's permanent seal failure requiring professional double pane window glass replacement.

How much does window seal repair cost in Boise?

Window seal repair costs $375-400 per window in Boise for standard double-pane units. This includes removing the failed glass unit, installing a new sealed unit with Low-E coating and argon gas fill, and a 10-year warranty. Triple-pane or specialty glass may cost more. Large picture windows or custom sizes range from $500-800. This is significantly cheaper than full window replacement which costs $800-1,500+ per window.

How to get condensation out of windows?

You cannot remove condensation that's trapped between window panes—it's permanently sealed inside. The only fix is double pane window glass replacement where we cut out the failed unit and install a new one. Some companies advertise "drilling and drying" but this doesn't restore the insulating value or stop new condensation from forming. Professional glass replacement is the only permanent solution.

Can I replace just the glass in a double pane window?

Yes! Double pane window glass replacement is exactly what we specialize in. We remove just the failed glass unit while keeping your existing frame, hardware, trim, and paint intact. The new insulated glass unit comes with Low-E coating, argon gas fill, and a fresh seal—restoring full R-value and energy efficiency. This costs 50-60% less than replacing the entire window and takes only 30 minutes per window.
