Why This Preston Hollow Homeowner Needed Wood Rot Repair
This Preston Hollow, Dallas homeowner had Pella casement windows and French balcony doors that stopped closing properly just as storm season approached. Like many neighbors in this historic-luxury Dallas neighborhood, they needed wood rot repair for their windows and doors that would restore the originals without the cost and disruption of a full replacement.
The Problem Behind the Wood Rot on These Windows and Doors
Years of paint and seal failure, splashback from an uncovered balcony, and fixed shutters trapping humidity against the glass let moisture work its way into the wood. The damage had spread from the exterior all the way through to the interior trim on several windows and doors, and two windows would no longer close at all, leaving the home exposed ahead of an incoming storm.
Because these were original Pella windows and doors with detailed simulated divided light, matching replacements are no longer manufactured. A full window and door replacement for this Preston Hollow home would have run into six figures. The homeowner chose Preservan for wood rot repair that could restore the original craftsmanship instead of tearing it out.
Wood Rot Repair Services Performed on the Windows and Doors
- Full wood rot assessment on 12 windows and 3 doors, measuring decay depth throughout
- Epoxy-based wood rot repair using a consolidant and structural filler to rebuild the finger-jointed wood window sills, casings, and door rails
- Restoration of Pella casement window crank mechanisms and door hardware
- Emergency repair of two windows that would not close, protecting the home ahead of incoming weather
- Sanding, shaping, and priming to match the original window and door profiles ahead of the homeowner’s scheduled repainting
Our Wood Rot Repair Process for Windows and Doors
Preservan’s team began with a full on-site assessment to identify every affected window and door before building a detailed quote. Once approved, two technicians and the operations manager spent six full days on site, completing wood rot repair on five sets of casement windows, two picture windows, and both sets of French balcony doors in place using Preservan’s Everesin epoxy system.
Results of This Wood Rot Repair Project
The homeowner’s windows and doors were restored to their original look and function for $25,900, a fraction of the multiple six-figure cost of full replacement. The repairs are backed by Preservan’s 10-year warranty, and the project was completed with minimal disruption to the home.
