Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
A sill going soft by the bay is not a verdict on the window. We remove the decay down to sound wood, mill a precise copy of the lost piece in genuine lumber, and splice that copy in — from $375. No filler pressed into soft spots, no epoxy cosmetics, no painting over rot. Ever.

Not sure what it is?
Decay fungus asks for one thing: wood that stays damp. League City delivers it by geography. Air moving in off Galveston Bay and Clear Lake arrives pre-loaded with moisture and a trace of salt — and salt is hygroscopic, so the film it leaves on sills and casings actively pulls water out of the air and holds it against the grain between rains. Add the town's signature shade: the heritage live oaks around League Park and the old center keep the blocks beneath them beautiful and permanently damp, while out in South Shore Harbour and Newport, thirty-plus years of that marine cycle have been chewing at builder trim since the '80s. The oldest houses in the historic district carry sills and casings milled when Galveston County lumber came rough off the wagon — profiles no supplier stocks today, drinking water through every hairline in their paint.
There are two ways to treat rot, and only one of them is a repair. The shortcut — troweling filler or epoxy into the soft spot and painting it by dinner — leaves the fungus dining underneath the cosmetic shell, and in bay-side humidity it re-emerges within a couple of seasons, larger. Our way is carpentry under one absolute rule: probe until we find the honest boundary of sound wood, cut away everything soft with clean square edges, then mill a duplicate of the missing piece from laminated lumber — the original's coves, bevels and drip kerfs reproduced — and splice it in until primer and paint erase the joint. A century-old casing by League Park keeps the face it was built with; a 1988 South Shore Harbour sill gets stock that resists marine moisture better than what the builder used. And before the truck leaves, the water's route in — failed caulk, checked paint, a gutter overflowing onto the same corner — gets named so it doesn't happen twice.
Probe to the truth, price on paper, mill the duplicate, splice it clean — how bay-side houses stay out of the replacement funnel.
We chase the softness to its real edge — under paint, along sill horns, into joints — because marine-fed rot always runs wider than the visible stain suggests.
Window pieces start at $375, door-frame wood at $475, door sash at $575 — each rebuild gets its own line on the written sheet before a saw touches the house.
The replacement piece comes off our mill in laminated lumber, shaped to the original profile — a true copy of what's being removed, never a generic board.
Tight joints, seams faired to invisibility, primed, painted and sealed against the bay air — carried by a 5-year written workmanship warranty.

No stock footage, no actors — this is one of our actual jobs. Watch a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
Rotted bottom rebuilt on-site — a fraction of the ~$10,000 a new door runs.
