The Right Tool for the Rot
The Method
Epoxy Has a Place. Filler Over Rot Does Not.
Greensboro searches for epoxy rot repair, so here's the professional truth. Structural epoxy consolidation works on small, early, caught-in-time spots — hardening sound-adjacent fibers where cutting would take more than the rot did. Deep rot is different: it gets cut out completely, back to sound wood, and rebuilt with a laminated piece fabricated to the original profile. What never works is the handyman classic — filler troweled over decay, painted, and rotten through again in a year.
-
Early small spots — structural epoxy consolidation
-
Deep rot — cut out and rebuilt in laminated wood
-
Never filler over decay — that repair fails by design

Exact-Profile Rebuilds
The Rebuilt Section Disappears Into the Original
The craft is in the match: our replacement pieces are fabricated to copy the original profile — every curve of a hundred-year-old sill, every bevel of a 90s sash — then spliced in, sanded, primed, painted and sealed. Under the paint, no seam. And because laminated wood has no appetite for water, the rebuilt section outlasts what the builder installed.

Profiles copied from the original — no flat-board patches

The Process
How Rotten Wood Repair Works in Greensboro
Probe honestly, price honestly, rebuild properly — the method that keeps the fix from repeating.
01/Probe to the Boundary
Rot hides behind paint. We probe until we find sound wood — the honest boundary that decides epoxy versus rebuild.
02/Method & Written Price
Small early spots get epoxy consolidation; deep rot gets the cut-out rebuild — windows from $375, doors from $475, in writing.
03/Cut, Fabricate, Splice
Decay comes out completely; the replacement piece is fabricated to the original profile and spliced in.
04/Finish & Warranty
Sanded, primed, painted, sealed — and backed by a written workmanship warranty.

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

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.

A Real WowFix Repair — Start to Finish
No stock footage, no actors — an actual WowFix job: a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
Rotten Wood Repair in Greensboro — FAQ
Both exist, and the difference is the prep. Legit: structural epoxy consolidating a small early spot after every trace of loose decay is removed — professional practice, and we use it where it fits. Shortcut: filler troweled over active rot to hide it until the check clears. We probe first and tell you honestly which category your wood is in.
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.
