Solving Everyday Home Repair Challenges with Quality Craftsmanship

When it comes to home repairs, it’s often the small details that make a big difference. At Rogis Properties Handyman, we pride ourselves on delivering practical, cost-effective solutions for homeowners in our local communities. In this case study, we’re sharing a recent window installation project in Bellevue, IA, where a creative approach helped solve the client’s problem efficiently and affordably.

The Problem: A Rotten Sill and an Outdated Window

Our client in Bellevue needed a new window installed to replace their old one, which had seen better days. However, the issue went beyond just the window itself—the window sill had significant rot and needed to be replaced. Without addressing the sill, the new window installation wouldn’t hold up long-term, making it essential to fix both the window and the frame.

Our Solution: A PVC Sill Replacement for Long-Term Durability

After assessing the situation, we recommended removing the damaged sill and replacing it with a PVC sill board. This choice provided several key benefits:

• Cost-Effective: PVC is a more affordable option than traditional wood, saving the client money on materials.

• Long-Lasting: Unlike wood, PVC doesn’t rot or warp, ensuring the new sill will last for many years to come.

• Preserving the Frame: By using a PVC sill board, we were able to keep the original window frame intact, which significantly reduced labor time and overall costs.

The specially made replacement board fit perfectly into the frame, providing both a functional and aesthetic upgrade to the client’s home.

Saving Time and Money with a Smart Solution

One of the standout aspects of this project was the creative approach we took to preserve the existing window frame. Many contractors might have recommended replacing the entire frame, which would have increased labor time and costs. Instead, we opted for a smarter solution—removing the rotted sill and replacing it with a PVC alternative that fit seamlessly into the existing frame.

This solution not only saved the client money but also reduced the time needed to complete the project, getting the job done in just two hours.

The Results: A Durable, Stylish Window That Will Stand the Test of Time

The before-and-after transformation speaks for itself. The client now has a beautifully installed window with a durable, low-maintenance sill that will last for years. The project was completed quickly and efficiently, demonstrating our commitment to providing practical solutions that meet our clients’ needs.
