Stop the rot, save the opening.
Soft, rotted wood at a window or door is a sign of a water problem. We cut out the damage, repair or replace the wood, fix the water path and finish it to last.
- Repair: Cut out, rebuild, flash
- Materials: Treated wood, composite trim
What it is, and why it matters.
Rot means water has been getting in for a long time. Painting over it does nothing. The fix is to find where the water came from, cut out the soft wood, rebuild with sound material and add proper flashing and sealant.
We probe the damage, show you what we find and repair the sill, jamb or trim. When the damage runs deep, we recommend a full-frame replacement with new flashing, and we explain why.
Four things done right.
Find the water source
We trace where the moisture came in.
Sound rebuild
Rotted material is replaced, not covered.
Better materials
Composite or treated trim resists rot.
Honest about depth
Deep damage may need full-frame.
