Rotten Window Trim and Sills in NH

· New Hampshire exteriors

Peeling paint on sills is often soft wood underneath. Freeze–thaw and missing head flash turn small paint jobs into full trim or window replacements.

Early signs

  • Soft spots when you press a screwdriver tip gently
  • Paint bubbles on horizontal sills
  • Gaps at sill-to-jamb joints
  • Staining on siding below the opening

Repair paths

Solid frames may get sill and casing replacement with proper flash and seal.

Rot into the frame or buck often means full window replacement — especially if glass seals already failed.

Pair with siding

Open walls for siding let us rebuild openings once with wrap and pan flash.

We will not sell full-house windows when three sills are the real problem — scope matches damage.
