## Alpharetta's Builder Trim Is Hitting Its Expiration Date All at Once

The brick fronts and stucco accents that define Windward, Glen Abbey and the Kimball Bridge subdivisions were finished with wood where it shows — window sills, brickmould, door frames, garage surrounds. Most of it was finger-jointed stock, factory-primed once and never sealed on the end grain. Give that recipe twenty-five years of Georgia weather — roughly fifty inches of rain annually, humidity that never lets wood fully dry, plus irrigation heads soaking the same bottom corner every morning — and the trim starts failing on schedule, house after house. It's rarely dramatic at first: a paint bubble at a sill nose, a corner that feels spongy after a storm. Underneath, the decay has usually been working for seasons.
- Paint lifting or checking along the sill's lower edge
- Trim that gives under a fingernail — decay is already inside
- North-facing walls and shaded corners stay wet longest, rot first
- Sprinkler spray on brickmould — the quiet, daily source nobody blames

## We Don't Fill Rot. We Remove It and Rebuild the Piece

The shortcut every homeowner gets offered is a tub of filler pressed into the soft spot and painted over — and it's a one-year fix at best, because decay keeps digesting the wood underneath the cosmetic patch. Our method is bench carpentry: probe until we find the true edge of sound wood, cut the rot out to clean square lines, then fabricate the replacement section from laminated lumber milled to the original profile — every bevel, ogee and drip kerf reproduced — and splice it in so tightly the joint vanishes under primer and paint. On an HOA street where trim lines are inspected from the sidewalk, the repair has to be invisible. Ours is.
- Window sills and sashes — rebuilt from $375
- Door frames, thresholds and brickmould — from $475
- Laminated lumber resists moisture by construction
- The water source gets fixed too — caulk lines, drip edges, spray patterns

## How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Alpharetta

- **Probe to Sound Wood** — We chart the real extent of the decay — under paint film, into miter joints, along sill horns — before quoting a single number.
- **Price Every Piece in Writing** — Window wood from $375, door-frame wood from $475 — each damaged section gets its own line on the written quote before any saw touches the house.
- **Mill & Splice** — The new section is fabricated from laminated lumber to the original profile, then spliced in with tight, clean joinery until the seam disappears.
- **Seal, Paint & Warranty** — Sanded fair, primed on all faces, painted and sealed against the weather — with a 5-year written workmanship warranty on the rebuild.

## Rotten Wood Repair in Alpharetta — FAQ

**Q: Our 1998 house has soft trim at three windows and the front door. Why everywhere at once?**

A: Because it was all installed the same month from the same finger-jointed stock, primed once at the factory and never end-sealed. Twenty-five-plus years of rain, humidity and sprinkler spray age it as a set, so failures cluster. Each piece is its own catalog line — window wood from $375, door-frame wood from $475 — mapped on one assessment and one written sheet.

**Q: The painter says he'll fill it and repaint. Isn't that enough?**

A: For appearance, briefly. For the wood, no — filler troweled over active rot seals moisture in with the decay, and the softness spreads under the fresh paint within a year or so. Our rule has no exceptions: rot is cut out to sound wood with clean edges, and a real-wood piece is spliced in. Consolidants only ever belong on tiny, honestly-probed early spots.

**Q: Will the repair pass an HOA architectural review?**

A: That's the standard we build to. The replacement section is milled to the original profile — the same bevels, reveals and drip kerfs your street was approved with — and spliced so the joint disappears under primer and paint. From the sidewalk there is no repair to see, which is precisely what an architectural committee wants.

**Q: Why is it always the bottom corner by the sprinkler head?**

A: Because that corner gets rained on every morning by your own irrigation, then sits in shade while the rest of the wall dries. Wood that never dries is wood that rots. We rebuild the corner in laminated lumber — moisture-resistant by construction — and flag the spray pattern, caulk gap or missing drip edge that fed it, so the new piece doesn't inherit the old problem.

**Q: We're prepping the house for sale. Will an inspector accept a splice repair?**

A: A proper one, yes — inspectors probe for soft wood, and a spliced real-wood rebuild reads as sound structure, unlike painted-over filler, which they find and flag. Fixing flagged trim before listing (from $375 per window piece) is dramatically cheaper than the repair credit a buyer's agent will demand after the inspection report lands.

**Q: If a sill is completely gone, isn't a new window simpler?**

A: Rarely cheaper, though. Rebuilding sill wood starts at $375; a comparable new wood window lands around $2,000 installed — and it usually drags trim, paint and sometimes siding work along with it. When a frame truly is beyond saving, we write both numbers on the same quote sheet and you make the call with real figures in hand.
