## Window Sills vs Sill Plates — Which One Is Rotting on You?

Gastonia asks us about 'rotted sill plates', and the honest answer starts with a distinction. The sill under your WINDOW — the sloped wood shelf that sheds rain — is our trade: cut out and rebuilt from $375. The structural SILL PLATE — the framing timber sitting on your foundation — is a framing contractor's job, and we'll tell you so on sight rather than practice on your house. Most of what Gastonia calls sill rot is the first kind, and it fixes beautifully.

- Door frames and thresholds — from $475
- Foundation sill plates — honestly referred out
- Free clarity on which one you've got

## Houses Built to Be Repaired Deserve Repairs Built to Last

The mill villages built Gastonia out of solid, straight-grained lumber and simple, serviceable joinery — houses designed for a century of maintenance, not a 30-year teardown cycle. Our rebuild honors the design: decay cut to sound wood, a laminated piece milled to the original profile, spliced, sealed, painted. The filler-and-paint shortcut breaks that century contract; we don't.
- Profiles milled to match the original
- Laminated lumber — no appetite for water
- Finish system rebuilt so the next paint cycle starts clean

## Rotten Wood Repair in Gastonia — FAQ

**Q: So who DOES repair rotted sill plates in Gastonia?**

A: Depends which sill: the wood shelf under your window — that's us, cut out and rebuilt from $375. The structural timber sitting on your foundation — that's a framing contractor, and we'll say so at the door instead of improvising. One free look sorts it; most calls turn out to be the window kind.

**Q: The sill crumbles when pressed but the window above works fine. Typical?**

A: Textbook — sills die first because they're the house's rain shelf. Caught while the window still works, it's a clean from-$375 section rebuild; ignored, the rot climbs into the sash and the job grows. Now is the cheap moment.

**Q: Previous owner painted over the rot. How bad is it under there?**

A: The probe will say — paint hides rot but doesn't slow it. We map the honest boundary, show you, and price only what's actually compromised. Sometimes it's better than it looks; the probe never lies either way.

**Q: Do you use epoxy or real wood?**

A: Real wood for real rot — cut out and spliced with profile-milled laminated lumber. Structural epoxy earns a place only on small early spots after all decay is removed. Filler troweled over active rot: never, that's the one-year repair.

**Q: Can you do several windows' worth in one go?**

A: That's the efficient booking — every section probed and itemized in one visit, pieces milled together, rebuilds done in a pass. Mill-village houses often need three or four sills at once; the sheet keeps each one honest.

**Q: How fast do you get to Gaston County?**

A: We cross the river weekly — assessments book within days, rebuilds follow once the pieces are milled.
