💡 Spring is when wood window damage that built up through an Illinois winter becomes visible and wood window repair is a major part of what we are handling on calls right now across the Palatine, IL area and nearby. Wood moves with temperature and moisture and after months of freeze-thaw cycles the signs of damage show up once you know what to look for.
Here is what comes up most on wood window repair calls this time of year:
• Sills that feel soft or spongy at the corners where ice and water collected all winter
• Frame joints that have opened slightly from repeated freeze-thaw movement over multiple seasons
• Glazing compound that has cracked away from the glass because the wood expanded and contracted underneath it through the cold months.
We work Palatine, IL and the surrounding suburbs regularly enough to know that spring wood window rot calls come in fast once the snow is gone and the damage is finally accessible. Argo Glass & Windows handles wood window repair across the area. Give us a call at 847-696-8044
