Wood Frame Restoration in Franklin
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.
Franklin’s downtown historic district operates under some of the strictest design guidelines in Williamson County, homes inside it generally can’t swap original windows for modern replacements without a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Franklin Historic Zoning Commission, a review that can take weeks with no guarantee of approval. Repair sidesteps that requirement entirely. Outside the historic core, Franklin has seen some of the fastest residential growth in the county over the past 15 years, so the newer neighborhoods ringing downtown are now hitting the age where original builder-grade seals and weatherstripping start to fail.
