Rotten Window Repair & Glass Replacement

At Prestige Window Works, we recently completed an in-depth wood window restoration for a classic Glenville, NY home. The homeowner contacted us about rotting wood around their window frame, which had compromised the glass and caused visible drafts and energy loss. Our first step involved a thorough inspection of window to assess the extent of the rot and identify areas in need of glass replacement. With Glenville’s weather conditions, protecting and restoring this wood window was essential, not only for its appearance but also for insulation and longevity.

Once we evaluated the window condition, our team carefully removed the old window glass. We then moved on to addressing the rotted wood, which needed skilled, precise repair to match the original frame. In particular, section near the base of window frame showed substantial wood deterioration due to years of exposure. Our craftsmen carefully excised the rotted section, replacing it with high-quality, treated wood that would resist moisture and preserve the window’s original aesthetic. This process of wood restoration was essential for ensuring a tight, durable seal when the new glass would be installed.

With the woodwork fully repaired, we began the next stage: fitting the custom-cut replacement glass. Every glass piece was carefully measured and crafted to ensure a perfect fit, especially important in maintaining the window’s energy efficiency. In particular, we chose high-grade glass that matched the existing windows but also enhanced UV protection and insulation. Window frame was then professionally caulked and sealed, ensuring a snug fit and no potential for future drafts. For a project like this, these steps are crucial to maintaining energy savings and preventing further wear.

The wood refinishing process brought the window back to life, blending new wood with the original frame for a flawless finish. We applied a high-quality primer and several coats of protective paint, matching the homeowner’s existing color scheme perfectly. In this way, the window not only looked brand new but also had added protection against the elements. This meticulous approach to both wood and glass restoration enhances curb appeal while extending the life of the windows.

At the end of the project, the window in this Glenville home was transformed to look as if it had just been installed for the first time. Our client immediately noticed a difference in insulation and the absence of previous drafts, not to mention the aesthetic improvement. They appreciated the level of detail and care that went into every step of the process, ensuring their window was both beautiful and durable.
