## Davidson's Old Wood Deserves Better Than a Trowel of Filler

Around the college and the historic district, windows and porch trim carry profiles nobody mills anymore. When a sill goes soft, the cheap fix insults the house: filler smeared over decay, a flat board where a molded sill belonged. Our fix honors it — rot cut out to sound wood, a replacement piece fabricated to copy the original profile exactly, spliced in and finished until the repair disappears.
- Window sills and sashes — rebuilt from $375
- Door frames, thresholds and trim — from $475
- Profiles copied from the original, not approximated
- Filler-over-rot never — it fails within a year

## Lake Norman Humidity Never Sleeps — Your Wood Shouldn't Suffer for It

Lake air, sprinkler overspray, shaded north walls that never quite dry: Davidson wood works against constant moisture. The rebuild fights back on two fronts — laminated replacement wood that has no appetite for water, and an honest look at why the water lands where it does: failed drip edges, tired caulk, paint past its life.
- Laminated lumber — moisture-resistant by construction
- Water sources addressed, not just symptoms
- Sanded, primed, painted, sealed watertight

## Rotten Wood Repair in Davidson — FAQ

**Q: Our house is in the historic district. Will the repair look original?**

A: That's the entire craft: the replacement piece is milled to copy the original profile — ogees, bevels, drip kerfs — then spliced and finished until the seam disappears under paint. Districts care how repairs look; so do we.

**Q: The porch posts and window sills are going soft together. One job?**

A: One assessment, one written sheet: window wood from $375, door and trim wood from $475, porch profiles quoted per piece. Moisture rarely attacks just one spot, so we probe the neighbors of every soft spot too.

**Q: Why does rot keep winning on the lake side of the house?**

A: Lake-facing walls collect wind-driven moisture and often dry slowest. The rebuild addresses both halves: laminated wood that resists water by construction, plus the source — drip edges, caulk lines, paint film — so the same corner doesn't call us back.

**Q: Is epoxy ever the right answer?**

A: For small, early, honestly-probed spots — yes, structural consolidation has its place. Deep rot gets cut out and rebuilt. What's never right is filler troweled over active decay; that's the repair that fails by design.

**Q: Windows and doors both?**

A: Both, plus the wood around them: sills, sashes, frames, jambs, thresholds, brickmould. One crew, one written quote for everything soft.

**Q: How fast can you assess our wood in Davidson?**

A: The lake corridor is weekly territory — assessments book within days, and rebuilds follow once the pieces are fabricated.
