Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
Broken glass is a part, and parts get replaced — windows don't have to be. Single panes re-glazed into original sashes, sealed double-pane units fabricated to the millimeter from $198, and your frames never leave the wall.

Not sure what it is?
Living under a hundred-year-old tree canopy has a price, and Decatur pays it in glass: every serious thunderstorm drops oak limbs on porch windows and sunroom panes somewhere between Oakhurst and Decatur Heights. The bungalow districts add a slower failure mode all their own — glazing putty from the Coolidge administration finally letting go, leaving an antique pane loose in its rabbet, rattling in the wind until a corner cracks. And the ranch streets north of the Square break glass the usual American ways: a mower-flung pebble, a scooter handlebar, one pane of a double-pane unit spidering while its twin survives. Different breaks, one principle — the glass is the casualty, not the window around it.
Decatur's original panes are cylinder glass — the ripples, seeds and slight distortions that make evening light in a bungalow look the way it does. Nobody manufactures it anymore, which is why our first rule on any historic sash is triage: intact antique panes stay put or get carefully lifted, saved and re-bedded in fresh glazing putty; only the genuinely broken pane gets a replacement, cut to fit its opening. Modern glass is a fabrication job instead — single-strength, double-strength or tempered stock cut to the millimeter, or a complete insulated unit built from $198 when the broken pane was half of a sealed sandwich. Either way the sash stays on its hinges or in its tracks, the frame stays in the wall, and the invoice stays a fraction of the $1,000+ per opening that replacement costs.
Your glass is cut or fabricated before the visit — which is why one firm-dated stop closes the job.
Tell dispatch what broke and roughly its size — a bungalow sash pane, a picture window, half a sealed unit. You get a firm date on the metro-Atlanta route.
We confirm dimensions, thickness, tempering requirements and any Low-E coating, and hand you the written price before glass is cut or ordered.
Single panes are cut to the opening; insulated units are built with rigid spacers and desiccant edges. Salvageable antique glass is set aside for re-glazing.
Broken glass comes out safely, new glass beds in putty or sealant, the sash is cycled with you watching — under a written 5-year workmanship warranty.

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.
