Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
Metro Atlanta added whole counties of houses between 1980 and 2008 — and their builder-grade windows are all hitting failure age together. Fog between the panes, sashes that won't stay up, sills gone soft: each is one failed part with a catalog price — glass from $198, hardware from $115, wood from $375 — not a reason to buy new windows.

Not sure what it is?
The metro's neighborhoods fail in patterns. The brick traditionals and stucco homes that filled Cobb, North Fulton and Gwinnett through the '80s and '90s carry builder-grade double-hungs by the thousand: their balancers tire, their latches loosen, and their sealed units fog as the perimeter seals give out on schedule. Closer in — Decatur, East Point, the streets around Marietta Square — the older wood windows fight a different war: fifty inches of Georgia rain a year working at every sill and sash. All of it is parts: balancers $175, sealed glass from $198, real-wood rot rebuilds from $375.
A west-facing window in Smyrna or Roswell can pass a hundred degrees of surface temperature swing in one July day. The two panes of a sealed unit bow and relax with every cycle, flexing the perimeter seal like a wire bent back and forth — until it cracks, the humid air moves in, and the fog stops wiping off. That's why whole streets fog together here years before the same windows would in a dry climate. The repair is surgical: we measure the unit, fabricate a new sealed pane to the millimeter, and swap it into your existing frame — from $198, warrantied for five years.
From Marietta to Stockbridge, the visit runs the same four steps.

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.
