Water Always Wins — Unless
The 25-Year Reckoning
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
The Craft
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.

The Process
How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Alpharetta
Probe, price, fabricate, splice — carpentry that keeps sound houses out of the replacement pipeline.
01/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.
02/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.
03/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.
04/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.

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

I had a fantastic experience with WowFix. They repaired my existing windows by cutting out rotted sashes, fashioning new ones on-site, and splicing them in. They look and work absolutely good as new!

WowFix is a great company for repairs on doors and windows. I had two rotten double-door frames that they rebuilt. They communicate well and the pricing was fair.

Rotten Wood Repair in Alpharetta — FAQ
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.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit
- 1
Photograph each problem window in daylight
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.
- 2
Note what each window is doing wrong
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.
- 3
Clear about three feet in front of each window
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.
- 4
Find any window brand or paperwork
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.
- 5
Make sure we can reach the windows outside
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.
