How we fix it

Step 1

Check the opening

We probe trim, sills and the wall below the window or door to see how far water has traveled.

Step 2

Remove rotted trim

Failed trim and sill material comes off; damaged sheathing or framing below the opening is repaired.

Step 3

Flash the opening

Sill pans and head flashing are added so water drains out of the opening instead of into the wall.

Step 4

New trim, sealed and painted

Durable trim (wood or PVC) is installed, sealed and painted to match.

We fix the leak, not just the wood.

Replacing boards without fixing the water that rotted them just buys a few years.

Price before we open anything

A written scope and price first. If hidden damage is likely, we explain the options before we start.

Only what's failed

Sound wood stays. We cut back to solid material and rebuild from there.

Questions about window, door

Do you replace windows?

Our focus is the rot around windows and doors. If a window itself needs replacing, we can coordinate it with the repair so the opening is done right.

Is PVC trim worth it?

PVC trim doesn't rot, which makes it a smart choice in spots that get a lot of water. It's painted to look like wood.

Can you repair just one window?

Yes. Single-window repairs are common.

Why does rot start at the bottom corners?

Water runs down the trim and collects at the sill and bottom corners. Without a sill pan or proper flashing, it soaks into the wood and the wall.
