Repairing wood windows that have some rot

[Bob Floss II]

I’m working on a house with wood windows that haven’t been getting enough light and have rotted in some parts. Obviously every window person I talk to wants to replace all the windows on the house. However, I’ve been doing research that some contractors can repair these windows and replace the rotted wood for much cheaper. 

Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

There is a great blog called The Craftsman. He discusses window repairs. Many windows can be saved, I repaired a few and they work great. Read about wood epoxies, copper seal, reglazing, etc.

Good luck,
