The Repair Disappears
Historic-Town Rot
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
Lakeside Moisture
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

01/Probe to Sound Wood
We map the honest boundary of the decay — behind paint, into joints — before promising anything.

03/Fabricate & Splice
The replacement piece is milled to the original profile, spliced in, and joined so the seam vanishes.
04/Finish & Warranty
Sanded, primed, painted, sealed — backed by a written workmanship warranty.

“Had 2 windows that needed repaired. Bith double pane windows One had a broken pane the other had a broken seal and was cloudy. The installer came to the house, removed the damaged windows, built new double pane windows, and installed them. No waiting for the factory to build and send them. No back and forth scheduling. All of it was done on the same day. Windows look great.”

Rotten Wood Repair in Davidson — FAQ
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.
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.

The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
Shattered Pane, Same-Day Secure
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
Broken Glass on a Brick Ranch
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
Fog That Won't Wipe Off
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
