Whole Window – Repair Only

Whole Window – Repair Only is a Boston-area company that does exactly what its name promises: it repairs and restores old wood windows rather than replacing them, saving homeowners the cost of a full swap. The company says it was founded in 2023 specifically around that niche, and its technicians — several named Andrew, alongside Andy and Alex — turn up across dozens of reviews doing the same kind of work: sticking sashes, broken sash cords, cracked panes, torn screens, and windows on century-old houses that hadn't opened smoothly in years. Recent reviews describe the same care each time. In August 2026, one homeowner had Pella window locks replaced and a French door pane repaired; another had sash mechanisms fixed on a set of historic windows and said both technicians (both named Andrew) kept them updated throughout. A Westwood homeowner in March 2026 had several wooden windows repaired and called the crew clearly knowledgeable about historic window work. Earlier reviews go back further: in a 2024 review, a homeowner with a roughly 1910 house said Andrew repaired broken panes, old sash cords and missing sash weights in a single day, and in a 2025 review another homeowner had more than a dozen windows on an 1892 home fixed, including sash ropes and cracked glass. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active on the state registry. In a 2024 review, one homeowner said the repair cost a fraction of what replacing the windows would have run — worth factoring in before assuming a full swap is the only option. For a homeowner with older wood windows in Boston or the surrounding towns who wants them working again rather than torn out, this is a company built around exactly that job, with dozens of recent five-star accounts behind it — just note that full replacement isn't part of what they offer.
