Finding soft, spongy wood on your window frames can be a homeowner’s nightmare. It usually starts small—a bit of peeling paint or a dark spot—but wood rot is an aggressive enemy. If left untreated, it can compromise your home’s structural integrity, invite pests, and lead to expensive mold issues.
The good news? You don’t necessarily need to rip out the entire window. Our professional rotten window frame repair services specialize in surgical restoration, removing the decay and reinforcing your frames to be stronger than they were before.
Wood rot is essentially a fungus that thrives on moisture and restricted airflow. Whether it’s caused by failing caulk, blocked gutters, or simply years of driving rain, once rot takes hold, it behaves like a slow-motion fire.
We don’t believe in just slapping some putty over a hole. Our approach is designed to be a permanent fix:
We begin by probing the wood to find the true extent of the damage. We remove all soft, decayed fibers until we reach healthy, “sound” timber. This ensures the fungus is completely gone and won’t return.
For areas where the rot is caught early, we use high-performance architectural epoxies. We apply a liquid consolidant that soaks into the wood fibers to harden them, followed by a structural wood filler that can be sanded, nailed, and painted just like real timber.
If the damage is too deep for epoxy, our master carpenters perform a “Dutchman repair.” We cut out the rotted section in a clean geometric shape and seamlessly glue in a new piece of matching, rot-resistant wood (like cedar or mahogany).
A repair is only as good as the protection it receives. We apply premium, flexible primers and high-quality sealants to ensure that moisture never finds its way back into the grain.
Many contractors will tell you that a rotted frame is a death sentence for the window. In reality, they often just want to sell you a new window. Restoring a frame is frequently the superior choice because:
Cost: Repairing a frame is typically 50-70% cheaper than a full-frame replacement.
Quality: Older homes often feature old-growth wood that is denser and more durable than modern replacement materials.
Style: You keep your original trim, character, and historical accuracy intact.
Pro Tip: Check your window sills and frame corners every spring. Catching rot when it’s only the size of a coin can save you thousands of dollars down the road.
Don’t let a little moisture turn into a massive renovation project. Our team has the tools and expertise to stop wood rot in its tracks and restore your windows to peak condition.
