Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
That permanent mist inside your double-pane glass means the Texas sun has beaten the factory edge seal — the window around it is perfectly healthy. We build a new insulated unit to the opening's exact dimensions, sealed for Gulf Coast summers, and exchange only the glass — from $198, with a written 5-year warranty.

Not sure what it is?
Friendswood's fog problem comes in two distinct vintages. The first lives in the established neighborhoods: when energy bills climbed through the '90s and 2000s, owners of Imperial Estates, Annalea and Wedgewood Village originals upgraded their single glazing to retrofit double-pane units — and those retrofits are now twenty to thirty years old, right at the age where edge seals surrender. The second wave is younger: the builder glazing that went into West Ranch and Eagle Lakes during the 2000s-2010s build-out is crossing into its own failure years, often on a two-story foyer's worth of glass at a time. The executioner is the same for both. A Texas summer afternoon makes a pane swell and bow; the evening lets it settle back; repeat that flexing through a few hundred triple-digit and near-triple-digit days and the factory seal finally splits. Gulf air — never short on moisture here, a few miles off the bay — slips into the cavity, beads against the cooler pane, and the mist becomes a permanent tenant. Mature live oaks spare some elevations; the unshaded west and southwest glass goes first, street after street.
Everything wrong with a fogged window is contained inside one factory-sealed sandwich of glass, and a sandwich with dimensions can be remade. Your sash, frame, trim and paint contribute nothing to the problem and lose nothing in the fix. We take the dead unit's exact width, height, thickness and spacer profile, then build its successor to a tougher recipe than the one that failed: a stiff spacer bar that keeps its geometry through daily heat swings, a moisture-scavenging desiccant charge around the perimeter, and a two-stage edge seal specced for Gulf Coast summers. On the scheduled visit the clouded unit lifts out, the clear one beds into fresh sealant, and the view you bought the house for comes back — from $198, under a written 5-year warranty, instead of the $1,000+ per opening a replacement crew would charge to solve the identical problem by throwing away your frames.
Measured first, fabricated ahead, exchanged in one firm-dated visit — and the mist is gone for good.

No stock footage, no actors — this is one of our actual jobs. Watch a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new glass.
Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.
Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.
Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.
If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
Rotted bottom rebuilt on-site — a fraction of the ~$10,000 a new door runs.
