Wood window repair in Chicago, IL is still the best answer for most rotted sashes and sills in Logan Square and Bucktown, even though many contractors push replacement at the first sign of decay. On these older windows the damage nearly always... stays local, gathering in the bottom rail and the outer corners of the sill where rain and melting snow sit longest. We take out only the decayed piece, make new wood to the original profile, and fit it in place, then prime and paint it so the joint vanishes under the finish. Glass, hardware, and the sound parts of the frame are left exactly in place. That preserves the original windows, which are often of denser, older wood than anything sold today, and it keeps the house's appearance unchanged. Replacement is offered only if rot has consumed the entire frame, which on these streets is unusual. Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village houses get exactly this approach.
