Rotted Window Sill, Frame, and Trim Repair
Moisture and age can rot wood sills, frames, and trim. Catching it early can mean a repair instead of a replacement window. We repair damaged and rotted sills, frames, trim, and woodwork for homes in Des Plaines and Chicagoland. Estimates are free.
Free estimates. Project suitability is confirmed during your estimate.

What the work can include

- Finding the source of moisture, with caulking and weatherproofing if needed
Repair or replace?
How far has the damage gone?
Limited damage can often be repaired. When rot has spread through the frame, a larger repair or window replacement may be the better answer.
We look at how much sound wood remains and explain the options. Project suitability is confirmed during your estimate.
