Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
A soft sill or a crumbling door frame doesn't condemn the whole opening. We cut the decayed wood out to a sound boundary, mill an exact duplicate of the missing piece in real lumber, and splice it in — from $375. No filler, no epoxy cosmetics, no painting over the problem.

Not sure what it is?
Pearland is really two towns when it comes to rot. East along Broadway sits the original one: Green Tee Terrace's golf-course streets from the 1970s, the Old Townsite blocks that go back to the rail-town days, Corrigan and Shadycrest with their 40- and 50-year-old sills, jambs and casings — genuine wood, now half a century into coastal air that stays damp between rains, much of it under mature oaks whose shade keeps a north wall wet for days after a storm. West of 288, the 2000s master plans look immune behind their brick and cement-board skins — but their door frames, thresholds and window brickmould are still wood, often finger-jointed builder stock, and the irrigation systems every prairie lawn depends on mist the same few pieces of it every single morning. Different decades, same chemistry: wood that never dries feeds decay fungus year-round. A gentle push with a screwdriver tip tells you where things stand — sound wood shrugs it off, rotten wood gives way silently.
The shortcut Pearland homeowners get quoted is a caulk gun and a tub of wood filler: trowel the cavity smooth, paint it, collect the check. It looks finished for a season — then the fungus, still alive under the patch, eats its way back to daylight. Our rule leaves no room for that: we probe until we find the true edge of sound wood, saw out everything soft with clean square cuts, and then build the missing piece from scratch — laminated lumber milled to the original profile, whether that's a 1975 Green Tee Terrace sill horn or a 2005 builder brickmould, its ogees and drip kerfs reproduced exactly. The duplicate splices in, the seams fair out under primer and paint, and the assessment names the moisture source — a misaimed sprinkler head, a failed drip cap, a shaded wall — so the same piece doesn't drown twice. Five years of written warranty stand on that method.
Find the real boundary, price it in print, mill the duplicate, splice it clean — that's the whole craft.
We probe beyond the visible soft spot — under paint, into joints, along sill ends — because decay always runs farther than it shows, and the quote must cover the truth.
Window wood starts at $375, door frame wood at $475, door sash at $575 — itemized line by line on the written sheet before cutting begins.
The new piece is fabricated from laminated lumber to the original's exact profile — a faithful duplicate of what's being removed, never a generic off-the-shelf board.
Square joints, seams faired invisible, primed, painted and sealed against water — and the whole repair carries 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.
