Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We connect you with local pros who focus on repair: window sills, exterior window trim, brick molding, fascia, soffit, and general wood rot repair. In many cases, a damaged sill or trim board can be repaired or partially rebuilt instead of replacing the entire window or siding section, which typically costs less and preserves your home's original look.

We connect homeowners throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including Lincoln Park, Logan Square, Portage Park, Beverly, Oak Park, Evanston, Naperville, Elmhurst, and Arlington Heights, with local pros who repair window sills, trim, and wood rot. Visit our Service Areas page for the full list.

It depends on how much of the wood is affected. As a general rule, if less than roughly 20-30% of a sill or trim piece is soft or deteriorated, repair with epoxy consolidation or a partial wood splice is often possible. More extensive rot usually calls for replacing the affected section. A free on-site estimate is the most reliable way to know for sure.
