Built to Take the Hit
The Sacrificial Part
Sills Take the Weather So the Rest of the Window Doesn't Have To
Look at a window sill's job description: it leans out from the house, angled toward the sky, and its whole purpose is to catch water and throw it clear of the wall. Sun bakes it, rain pools on it, ice works its seams — decade after decade. Of course it's the first wood to go; it was hired to be. The good news hiding in that: a spent sill is a replaceable part, not a verdict on the window. Cut out, milled new, spliced in — from $375 — while the sash and frame above carry on untouched.
-
Sills face sun, rain and ice by design — they wear out first
-
A rotted sill is maintenance, not window failure
-
Rebuilt from $375 — sash and frame stay in service
-
Laminated stock outlasts the original builder pine
The Rebuild
Milled to the Old Profile, Sealed Against the Next Decade
A sill rebuild is pattern-making: the decayed section comes out to sound wood, and the replacement is milled from laminated lumber to the exact profile — the same slope, the same drip edge that makes a sill work. Then the water path gets sealed so the new wood starts its shift dry. Where rot has climbed past the sill into a jamb or door frame, the same method follows it: door-frame wood from $475. What never happens here is putty over soft wood — Lexington's furniture bones deserve joinery, not cosmetics.
-
Replacement milled to the original profile — slope, drip edge and all
- from $475
Door frames and jambs — same method
-
Water path sealed; the new sill starts dry
-
No filler over rot, ever — it fails within a year

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.

Rotten Wood & Sill Repair in Lexington — FAQ
Exactly what it sounds like: a sill, not a window. The sill is the weather-catching shelf at the bottom — it wears out first because that's its job. We cut the spent section back to sound wood and splice in a new piece milled to the same profile, from $375. The working window above it stays right where it is.
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.
