Wood Frame Restoration in Green Hills, TN

Original wood windows in older Middle Tennessee homes are frequently built from denser, better lumber than anything sold today, they usually just need the rotted or damaged sections rebuilt. We use epoxy consolidation and matched wood splicing to restore a frame or sill to full strength, then prime and finish it to match the surrounding wood. If a section is too far gone to save, we replace just that piece with matched lumber rather than tearing out the entire original window.

A lot of Green Hills and Hillsboro Village sits under neighborhood association guidelines or conservation overlays that steer homeowners toward preserving original exterior details, window replacement can mean submitting plans before work even starts, while repair usually requires nothing at all since the exterior sightline stays untouched. The area’s mature tree canopy also keeps most homes shaded for a large part of the day, which slows wood degradation but does nothing to stop seal failure, so foggy glass here is almost always a seal issue rather than sun damage.
