Common Coastal Andersen Problems
Common Coastal Andersen Problems
Homes on Hatteras Island and Ocracoke face harsher conditions than homes farther inland.
Homes on Hatteras Island and Ocracoke face harsher conditions than homes farther inland.
Corroded Hardware
Salt and moisture damage hinges, operators, locks, rollers, and fasteners.
Difficult Operation
Windows and doors become hard to open, close, slide, or lock from worn parts, corrosion, sand buildup, or shifting.
Fogged or Failed Glass
Condensation between the panes may indicate a failed insulated glass seal.
Damaged Weatherstripping
Worn seals let drafts, moisture, and wind-driven sand into the home.
Water Intrusion
Leaks may come from the window, but also failed flashing, trim, siding, sealant, or roofing.
Damaged Screens
Coastal wind, rental use, and salt exposure damage window and patio-door screens.
Glass, Sash & Hardware Replacement
A damaged Andersen window or door doesn’t always require complete replacement. Depending on product, age, condition, and parts availability, we may be able to replace individual components.

Water isn't always the window's fault.
Water around an Andersen product doesn’t automatically mean it has failed. Our inspection focuses on identifying the likely source before recommending repairs — and we can evaluate surrounding trim, flashing, siding, and limited concealed damage.
Possible Causes
- Improper original installation
- Deteriorated exterior sealant
- Damaged siding
- Blocked drainage areas
- Wind-driven rain
- Failed flashing
- Rotting trim or framing
- Failed weatherstripping
- Roof or wall leaks above the opening
