# Rotten Wood Repair in Charlotte, NC > A rotted sash costs **$375 to rebuild — or $2,000 to replace with a new wood window.** In Charlotte's market, that math shows up on inspection reports and closing tables alike. **From $375 · 4.9 · 473+ reviews** ## 'Wood Rot Noted' on a Charlotte Inspection Report Isn't a Crisis Charlotte houses move fast, and inspection reports flag every soft sill on the way. Sellers panic toward replacement quotes; buyers demand outsized credits. The grown-up answer costs a fraction of either: each flagged section cut out and rebuilt in real wood — windows from $375, door frames from $475 — with an itemized invoice that closes the inspection item cleanly. - Flagged sills and sashes — rebuilt from $375 - Whole punch lists priced in one visit - Itemized paperwork that satisfies agents and lenders - Against ~$2,000 per replacement window — the math sells itself ## Cut Out and Rebuilt — Epoxy Only Where It Honestly Fits Searches ask about epoxy, so here's the straight answer we give on-site: structural epoxy consolidates small, early, honestly-probed spots. Deep rot — the kind inspectors flag — gets cut out to sound wood and rebuilt with a laminated piece milled to the original profile. What we never do is trowel filler over decay: that repair fails within a year and reopens the inspection item with interest. - Deep rot — cut out and rebuilt, never filled over - Early spots — epoxy consolidation where probing supports it - Profiles matched so the repair disappears under paint ## How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Charlotte From flagged report to closed item — probe, price, rebuild, document. - **Probe Every Flag** — Each report item — and its unflagged neighbors — probed to the sound-wood boundary before anything is promised. - **Itemized Written Price** — Windows from $375, doors from $475, each section its own line — the sheet agents and adjusters actually want. - **Cut, Mill, Splice** — Decay out, profile-matched wood in, joints finished until the splice disappears. - **Document & Warranty** — Finished, sealed, photographed if you need it for the file — backed by a written workmanship warranty. ## How Much Does Rotten Wood Repair Cost in Charlotte?

Doable?** A: Comfortably — punch lists are our rhythm. All four sections probed and itemized in one visit, wood milled, rebuilds done, and you hand the agent an itemized invoice that closes the item. From $375 per window section against the credit a buyer would demand. **Q: Is epoxy repair legitimate for rot, or a shortcut?** A: Legitimate in its lane: structural epoxy consolidates small early spots after all loose decay is removed. Deep rot — what inspectors flag — needs the cut-out rebuild. Filler troweled over decay is the shortcut, and it reopens the problem within a year. We probe first and tell you which lane your wood is in. **Q: Our Ballantyne house is only 20 years old. Rot already?** A: Right on schedule, unfortunately — builder-grade sills with thin factory finishes start losing to Charlotte humidity around year 15. The good news: caught now, it's a from-$375 section rebuild in wood better than the original, not a window replacement. **Q: Will the repair be visible?** A: Not under paint — the replacement piece is milled to the original profile and the splice is finished until it disappears. On a sale-prep job, that invisibility is the entire point. **Q: Rot on doors and trim too?** A: Same bench: door frames from $475, door sashes from $575, thresholds and brickmould quoted per piece. One itemized sheet covers everything soft on the house. **Q: How fast can you assess a Charlotte punch list?** A: Assessments book within days — faster when a closing date is breathing down the timeline. Tell us the deadline and we work the schedule around it. ## Serving Charlotte & Surrounding Areas Dilworth bungalows, Myers Park colonials, Ballantyne builder homes hitting their first rot cycle — one bench serves the whole metro.
