Wood Frame Restoration

Rotted Sill or Damaged Frame? We Rebuild It, Not Replace It.

Original wood windows in older Middle Tennessee homes are often built better than anything on the market today, they just need the rotted or damaged sections repaired. We restore wood frames and sills so the rest of your original window keeps doing its job.

Signs You Need This Repair

  • Soft, spongy, or crumbling wood at the sill or frame
  • Visible rot, splitting, or peeling paint at joints
  • Water staining or damage below the window
  • Gaps forming between the frame and the wall

Repair, Not Replace, When Possible

We use epoxy consolidation and wood splicing to rebuild rotted sections of a frame or sill, then rebuild and refinish the repaired area to match the surrounding wood, preserving the original craftsmanship of historic and older homes across Franklin, Belle Meade, and East Nashville.

If a section is too far gone to save, we replace just that section with matched wood rather than tearing out the entire frame, keeping your original window intact wherever structurally possible.

Our Wood Frame Restoration Process

1

Free Structural Assessment

We inspect the extent of rot or damage and determine what can be restored versus what needs section replacement.

2

Remove Damaged Material

Rotted or compromised wood is carefully removed without disturbing sound surrounding material.

3

Rebuild & Splice

Using epoxy consolidation and matched wood splicing, we rebuild the frame or sill to full strength.

4

Seal, Prime & Finish

The restored area is sealed, primed, and finished to match the rest of your window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a rotted sill always a sign the window needs full replacement?

No, in most cases the rot is localized and can be cut out, rebuilt, and sealed without replacing the entire frame or window.

Will the repaired area match the rest of the frame?

Yes, we match wood profile, prime, and finish so the repair blends into the original frame once painted.

How long does wood frame restoration take?

Most repairs are completed in a single visit, though epoxy consolidation may require a short cure time before painting, we’ll walk you through the timeline during your free assessment.
