Before & After: Rotted Wood Window Fully Restored
This wood window came to us with a rotted sill, decayed frame corners, peeling paint, and exposed water damage. The homeowner had been quoted for a full replacement. Instead, our team repaired the rot, rebuilt the sash, and restored the window to like-new condition, matching the original profile and character of the home. The before-and-after speaks for itself.
Repair vs. replacement
Most rotted or damaged wood windows can be repaired rather than replaced. Replacement often means tearing out original trim, losing the historic look, and paying far more than the damage warrants. Our wood window repair approach saves you money and keeps the craftsmanship that makes older Boston-area homes special.
What we fixed on this window
Rot rarely stays in one place, so we address the whole window as a system:
Rotten sill repair - the horizontal sill takes the most water, so we cut out the decay and rebuild it to shed water properly.
Rotten frame repair - we rebuild soft or crumbling frame sections so the window sits square and seals tight.
Rotten sash repair - the moving part of the window is rebuilt and re-glazed so it opens, closes, and locks cleanly.
After the structural repairs we prime, paint, and reseal so the window is protected against the next New England winter.
Why repair pays off
Catching rot early keeps a small repair from turning into a full replacement. A well-maintained wood window can last for decades. Every job is backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty, with an optional 5-year extended warranty available, and every quote is free.
