## Young Houses Rot Too — When the Sprinklers Water the Windows Every Dawn

Cypress homeowners assume rot is an old-house disease — then find a thumbnail sinking into a sill on a house built in 2010. The culprit is usually standing in the flower bed. HOA-grade irrigation runs before sunrise, and a misaligned head mists the same sill and brickmould every single morning; mulch beds get topped off each spring until the pile bridges the weep gap and holds moisture directly against the trim; and between waterings, Gulf humidity makes sure the fiber never truly dries. Fiber-cement siding on these homes hides the fact that the window frames, door jambs and brickmould behind it are still wood. Decay fungus asks only for sustained moisture, and a Cypress landscape package delivers it on a timer — north walls, fence-shaded corners and bed-facing sills going first.
- Paint bubbling or checking along the bottom edge of sills
- Wood a thumbnail dents like cork — decay is already inside
- Sprinkler-sprayed sills and mulch piled against brickmould
- Shaded north walls and fence-line corners that never dry

## Rot Doesn't Get Patched Here — It Gets Removed and the Piece Rebuilt

Every spongy sill in Cypress eventually meets a tub of wood filler — pressed into the mush, sanded, painted, photographed. And underneath, the fungus keeps eating, because the patch never removed the infected wood. We work by a rule with no exceptions: probe until the boundary of genuinely healthy lumber is found, saw out everything soft on clean square lines, then mill a duplicate of the missing section from laminated stock — original profile, slope and drip kerf reproduced — and splice it home until primer and paint hide the joint. Laminated lumber stands up to Gulf moisture by its very construction; the assessment also fingers the water source — that sprinkler head, that mulch pile — so the corner never fails twice; and the written 5-year warranty covers it all. Window wood starts at $375, while a brand-new wood window for that same opening is roughly $2,000 installed.
- Sills and sashes — genuine-wood rebuilds from $375
- Frames, thresholds and brickmould on doors — from $475
- Laminated stock shrugs off humidity by design
- We name the water source, not just the damage

## How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Cypress

Probe honestly, quote in writing, fabricate exactly, splice cleanly — carpentry, not cosmetics.
- **Probe the True Extent** — Decay gets traced to where it truly stops — beneath paint, inside joints, down the sill horns — before we quote, since rot always runs wider than the soft spot you can see.
- **Price Every Piece in Writing** — Window pieces from $375, door frame lumber from $475, door sashes from $575 — every item its own written line before a saw touches the house.
- **Mill the Exact Duplicate** — The stand-in piece is milled from laminated stock to match the original's profile precisely — a duplicate of what's coming out, never a generic board caulked in.
- **Splice, Finish & Warranty** — Tight joints, seams sanded to nothing, then primer, paint and watertight sealing — the whole rebuild under the written 5-year workmanship warranty.

## Rotten Wood Repair in Cypress — FAQ

**Q: Our house is only twelve years old — how can a sill already be rotten?**

A: Check what's happening below that window at 5 a.m. In most young-house cases we trace the rot to a sprinkler head misting the sill on a daily schedule, or a mulch bed topped off each spring until it holds moisture against the brickmould around the clock. Wood age barely matters when water arrives on a timer and Gulf humidity blocks the drying in between. We rebuild the piece in real wood from $375 — and point out exactly which head or bed to fix so the new wood doesn't inherit the problem.

**Q: A handyman quoted a third of your price to fill the soft spots with epoxy. What's the catch?**

A: The catch is that filler over live rot is make-up, not medicine. The fungus keeps working beneath the shell, and in this humidity it's back through the surface inside a couple of years — bigger, and now armored under a hard crust that complicates honest probing. Our approach never bends: everything soft comes out to a clean boundary of healthy lumber, and a milled genuine-wood section goes in. Only that version earns our written 5-year warranty.

**Q: The builder's warranty expired ages ago and now the front door frame is going soft. Whose problem is this?**

A: Yours to fix, but a far smaller problem than it feels like. Production-builder workmanship warranties run a year or two — rot from a decade of irrigation spray was never going to land inside that window anyway. The repair itself is contained and priced from the catalog: door frame wood from $475, thresholds and brickmould included in the same visit, each piece cut out and rebuilt in real lumber rather than the wholesale frame replacement a door company would pitch.

**Q: Why does wood seem to rot faster in Cypress than places we lived before?**

A: Because the drying phase never happens. Gulf air keeps fiber damp between rains, automated irrigation re-wets the same spots daily, and mulch and shaded fence lines trap moisture at exactly the height where sills and jamb bottoms live. Decay fungus needs nothing more than that steady supply. The rebuild replaces the damaged piece; the assessment also names the moisture source, because cutting rot out without stopping the water is half a repair.

**Q: Do you work on door frames and thresholds, or windows only?**

A: All of it. On windows: sills, sashes and jambs from $375. On doors: frames, thresholds and brickmould from $475, door sashes from $575. One walk-around covers the entire exterior, one written sheet catalogs every soft piece it finds, and most Cypress visits fold several rebuilds into one dated stop under a single trip charge.

**Q: How soon can you get to a Cypress address — straight answer?**

A: Straight answer: Cypress rides our scheduled northwest-Houston routes, and dispatch books you a firm date up front rather than guessing optimistically. Rot moves in months, not hours, so a dated appointment loses you nothing — but don't sit on it through a wet season either, because every damp month pushes the cut line wider and the rebuild bigger.
