Damp Shade, Patient Rot
Shade, Rain and One Flood
The Oaks That Make Friendswood Beautiful Never Let Its Window Wood Dry
Friendswood's oldest streets were planted when the houses were — and sixty years later, the live oaks of Imperial Estates, Annalea and Wedgewood Village throw canopies that keep entire elevations in permanent shade. Lovely for August; merciless for lumber. A shaded sill in this climate stays damp for days after every rain, sprinklers re-wet the same corners each morning, and the humid air rolling in from Galveston Bay keeps the fibers from ever fully drying. Decay fungus asks only for wood that stays moist, and these neighborhoods — built with real-wood frames in the '60s and '70s — supply it season after season. Then there's the memory this town doesn't need explained: when Clear Creek left its banks during Harvey in 2017, creek-side blocks stood in water, and in the scramble that followed, some trim and framing got dried, caulked and repainted when it should have come out entirely. Years later, that decision resurfaces as paint that blisters along a sill or a jamb that gives under a fingertip.

The Craft
Decay Comes Out Whole — an Exact-Profile Piece of Real Lumber Goes In
Every soft sill in town has been offered the same shortcut: trowel in some filler, sand it smooth, paint it, cash the check. It looks fine in photos and fails in a couple of humid years, because the fungus keeps eating the wood beneath the patch. Our rule is absolute and boring: nothing cosmetic ever covers decay. We probe until we find the honest edge of sound wood, cut out everything soft with clean square shoulders, and then do the part most outfits can't — mill a duplicate of the removed piece from laminated lumber, matching the original profile down to its coves and drip kerfs, the way the '60s shops that built these neighborhoods would recognize. The new piece splices in, the seams disappear under primer and paint, and the water's actual source — a failed drip edge, a misaimed sprinkler head, a gutter overflow — gets named on the sheet so the same corner doesn't rot twice. Windows from $375, door frames from $475, door sashes from $575.

The Process
How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Friendswood
Find the true edge of the damage, price it in print, duplicate the piece, splice it clean — that order, every time.
01/Probe to the Honest Boundary
Decay hides under paint and runs along joints, so we map its real extent first — especially on creek-side homes where flood-era repairs may sit over saturated wood.
02/Put Every Piece in Writing
Window wood from $375, door frames from $475, door sashes from $575 — itemized on the written sheet before any saw touches the house.
03/Mill the Duplicate
The replacement is fabricated from laminated lumber to the original's exact profile — a true copy of the piece coming out, not a generic off-the-shelf board.
04/Splice, Seal & Warranty
Square joints, seams faired to invisibility, primed, painted and sealed against the weather — backed by a written 5-year workmanship warranty.

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 Friendswood — FAQ
Because rot is a moisture budget, and your oaks control it. The sunny elevations dry within hours of a rain; the canopied sills sit damp for days, and if a sprinkler head mists the same corner every morning, that wood effectively never dries. Decay fungus does the rest. We rebuild the affected sills in real lumber from $375 — and we'll point out the sprinkler or drainage tweak that stops the cycle, because otherwise the shade wins again in a few years.
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.
