What Causes Wood Rot in Windows and Doors?

Wood rot develops when moisture penetrates exposed or aging wood around windows and doors. Common causes include:

  • Failed caulking or sealants
  • Improper flashing or drainage
  • Condensation buildup
  • Aging paint or protective coatings
  • Long-term exposure to rain, snow, and humidity

Over time, moisture breaks down wood fibers, causing softness, cracking, and decay that spreads if left untreated.

Signs You May Need Rotted Window or Door Repair

Homeowners often miss early warning signs. Contact us if you notice:

  • Soft or spongy wood when pressed
  • Peeling, bubbling, or cracking paint
  • Visible cracks, gaps, or discoloration
  • Water stains or active leaks
  • Condensation around frames
  • Drafts or temperature fluctuations
  • Windows or doors that no longer open or close smoothly

Early intervention significantly reduces repair costs.

Why Ignoring Rotted Wood Is Risky

Leaving rotted wood untreated can lead to:

  • Water intrusion inside walls
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Damage to insulation and framing
  • Increased energy bills
  • Pest intrusion
  • Structural weakening
  • Full window or door replacement

Professional repair stops the damage before it spreads.

Our Rotted Window & Door Repair Process

1. Detailed Assessment

We inspect all affected areas to determine:

  • The extent of the rot
  • The moisture source
  • Whether repair or replacement is the best solution

2. Removal of All Rotted Wood

All compromised wood is completely removed to prevent recurring decay.

3. Structural Restoration

Depending on the situation, we:

  • Install new pressure-treated or rot-resistant wood
  • Reinforce structural areas
  • Rebuild profiles to match existing architecture

4. Sealing & Moisture Protection

We properly seal, flash, and protect repaired areas to prevent future moisture intrusion.

5. Finishing & Detail Work

Repaired areas are sanded, primed, and finished to blend seamlessly with your home.

6. Final Inspection

We verify proper fit, insulation, drainage, and overall performance.

Repair vs. Replacement — Honest Recommendations

Not all rot requires full window or door replacement. In many cases, professional repair is the smarter option when:

  • Rot is localized to wood components
  • The window or door itself is structurally sound
  • You want to preserve the original look of your home
  • Cost efficiency is important

If replacement is the better long-term solution, we will explain why — clearly and honestly.
