Rotten Windows
In most situations , when a large portion of a window is rotten, it is worth replacing the entire window assembly to a new window rather than "Repairing."

Even with a repair, if not done thoroughly and with time/ precipitation, the rot will come back sooner than later. Give us a call or email for a specialist for a free consultation
