Window Technician (but not your average handyman)

As a Matter of Fact, we recently hired Ron Conklin,
of RC Windows & Doors (352.620.1111), that has
extensive experience with the Glazing Industry,

AND for a reasonable flat rate per unit cost, he replaced the
'guts' in TWELVE Single Hung Windows within 2 hours - and
they now all operate "as Good as New"
We had Romac do the same thing for our 20 year old windows. We are the original builder....Romac the original installer.

About half needed new spring and track assemblies. The rest just cleaned and lubricated. All windows work like day one.

Absolutely no need to replace any windows.
