Don’t let a rotting wooden window frame damage your home.
At Whole Window, we offer expert rotten window frame repair in Boston and surrounding areas, saving you the cost of full window replacement while preserving the character of your home.

Why Window Frames Rot

Wooden window frames are constantly exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and sun — especially in New England. Over time, water infiltration leads to wood rot, mold growth, and structural weakness. If left untreated, it can spread to the siding and interior walls.

Signs of a Rotten Window Frame

  • Soft, crumbling, or discolored wood

  • Visible cracks or separation in the corners

  • Mold, mildew, or water stains around the frame

  • Drafts or difficulty opening and closing the window

Our Rotten Frame Repair Process

  1. Inspection & Diagnosis
    We start by identifying the full extent of the damage — inside and out. Our specialists determine if the frame can be repaired or if partial rebuild is needed.

  2. Rot Removal
    All decayed or compromised wood is carefully removed. We treat surrounding areas with fungicide and sealant to prevent future rot.

  3. Wood Replacement or Splicing
    Using high-quality, rot-resistant wood (such as cedar or mahogany), we rebuild the damaged sections using traditional joinery or epoxy wood repair where needed.

  4. Structural Reinforcement
    We reinforce the frame to ensure long-term stability and durability — especially important for historic wood window repair.

  5. Sealing & Weatherproofing
    All repaired areas are sealed, primed, and painted with weatherproof coatings to prevent moisture intrusion.

  6. Final Testing
    We ensure the repaired window opens, closes, and locks smoothly. We also check for proper insulation and air sealing.

Why do many homeowners in Boston, MA need wood window repair?

In Boston, many homes still have older, original wood windows.
