Rotten frame: save the window
A rotten wood window frame does not necessarily mean you must replace the complete window at $800-2,000. In most cases, RBQ partner glaziers can repair or replace only the frame for $200 to $600 — a 50 to 70% savings if the double thermo pane is still in good condition. This approach preserves your existing glazing while restoring the seal and aesthetics of your window.
Stripping, treatment, caulking
RBQ partner glaziers follow a complete five-step process for window frame repair: precise diagnosis of wood condition, mechanical or chemical stripping of rotten areas, antifungal treatment to prevent recurrence, high-performance elastomeric caulking resistant to Quebec frost, and protective final paint. The entire intervention is completed in a single day maximum by the RBQ contractor partner.
When to repair a window frame in Quebec?
Rotten wood frame (water infiltration)
Water infiltrated into the wood frame causing rot and mold. The RBQ contractor partner removes the damaged part, treats the healthy wood and replaces the rotten section.
Deformed / oxidized aluminum frame
Impact, freeze/thaw or aging deformed or oxidized the aluminum frame. The RBQ glazier partner evaluates if repair is possible or if frame replacement is necessary.
Cracked PVC frame
Crack in PVC frame due to frost, shock or thermal deformation. Repair by PVC welding or replacement of cracked section by the RBQ contractor partner.
Failing caulking seals
Aged, cracked or detached caulking letting in air and water. The RBQ glazier partner removes the old seal, cleans the surface and installs new Quebec climate-resistant caulking.
Frame with peeling paint
Peeling paint on wood or metal frame, exposing material to moisture. Stripping, primer and repainting by the RBQ contractor partner to durably protect the frame.
Misaligned frame (window rubs)
Warped frame or misaligned hinges preventing the window from opening properly. Realignment, hinge adjustment or section replacement by the RBQ glazier partner.
How our RBQ glazier partners repair your window frame
Frame vs complete window diagnosis

Repair vs frame replacement evaluation
The RBQ glazier partner determines if partial repair (cutting, welding, caulking) is sufficient or if complete frame replacement is necessary to guarantee seal integrity.

Material repair or frame replacement
Repair by PVC welding, replacement of rotten wood sections, aluminum straightening or installation of a custom new frame. Work compliant with Quebec building standards.
