Rotted Window Replacement in Mount Crawford
Window replacement projects aren’t always straightforward, and sometimes what you can’t see is what matters most. This was the case for a recent job in Mount Crawford; what began as a small concern quickly revealed a much larger issue hiding beneath the surface.
Discovering the Real Problem
The homeowner first reached out after noticing a few small spots of rot inside the house. Our team started by replacing the ten worst windows, but once the work began, it became clear that the rot extended much farther than expected. What looked solid from the outside was often being held together by nothing more than old paint.
Instead of patching the problem, we moved forward with a full tear-out. This approach allowed us to remove every damaged piece, rebuild properly, and make sure the framing and waterproofing were restored the way they should be.
Why Full Tear-Out Was the Right Solution
A complete tear-out gives us a clean slate and ensures nothing gets covered up or left behind. For this home, it meant:
Replacing all compromised wood and trim
Waterproofing and flashing the openings correctly
Rebuilding the exterior to be fully maintenance-free
Ensuring the new windows meet PWD quality standards for longevity and performance
By taking the project down to the structure, we can guarantee the homeowner receives a long-term solution, not just a temporary fix.
Matching the Existing Look
Along with structural improvements, the homeowner wanted the new windows to blend seamlessly with the existing interior. Andersen’s wide selection of exterior colors and interior stains made that easy. We were able to match her trim color closely, keeping interior touch-ups to a minimum once the project is complete.
The PWD Difference
At PWD, we focus on doing things the right way the first time. That means clear communication, careful planning, and paying attention to the details that make a project come together smoothly. Whether it’s a small improvement or a full addition, we take the time to understand what you need and how the space should work for you.
