I'm looking at some homes near the ocean. Some of the houses have windows with metal frames. Either the hinges or crank mechanisms are corroded. Can a contractor unfreeze these sticking or stuck windows with WD-40, punch out the rusted moving parts (and where does he get parts), or do we have to replace them with vinyl windows? The cost in Hawaii can reach $100/sq ft, for new, installed windows.
