How it works
Remove the damaged sill
We carefully pry out the old sill without damaging the window frame or surrounding trim, and probe underneath for hidden rot.
Cut and fit the replacement
We cut a new sill to match the profile and length, fit it snug to the window, and secure it properly.
Seal and prime
We caulk every joint with exterior-grade sealant, prime the new wood, and note any areas that need a finish coat.
Problems we fix
- Sill paint that peels because the wood underneath is already soft and damp
- Sills that have pulled away from the window frame, creating a moisture channel
- Pet-damaged sills where claws have dug into the wood at the glass
- Interior sills stained by condensation running from the glass
Window Sill Repair in Charleston — FAQ
Should I use wood or PVC for a replacement sill?
PVC trim board won't rot and takes paint well. It's a great choice for exterior sills. For interior sills where appearance matters more, solid wood looks more refined.
Can you fix just the surface instead of replacing the whole sill?
For surface damage only, two-part epoxy wood filler is a durable fix that won't rot. If it's soft below the surface, replacement is the better investment.
How do I prevent the new sill from rotting again?
Proper caulking at the frame and wall, exterior primer before paint, and maintaining the paint film so it doesn't crack and let water in. We'll make sure the install starts you off right.
Can you also repair the interior stool at the same time?
Yes, if the interior window trim is also damaged we can address both in the same visit.
Window Sill Repair across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
