Window, Door & Trim Repair in Medina, WA
Exterior trim, window and door repair that looks right and sheds water. Paint cracks at a trim joint, water runs behind the casing, and the sill and framing underneath slowly go soft. We replace rotted sills, jambs and trim with rot-resistant material, add head flashing and sill pans, and keep your windows whenever they are still in good shape. We serve homeowners across Medina and nearby Bellevue and Kirkland.

Why window and trim repair comes up so often in Medina
Lake-facing window walls and large sliding or folding doors are common in Medina, and their sills, jambs and surrounding trim take the most weather. Wind off Lake Washington drives rain into joints, and failed sealant or missing head flashing lets it reach the framing. On older homes, original wood trim often rots at corners and sills. We remove decayed sills, trim and jamb sections, inspect the rough opening, and rebuild with sill pans and flashing tape. Trim is replaced with durable material finished to match, and door thresholds are rebuilt so water drains outward.
Medina is a small, mostly residential city on the Lake Washington shore, and its homes range from 1950s and 60s houses on large lots to substantial newer estates built after older homes were removed. Many properties have cedar siding, cedar shake accents, painted wood trim and multi-level decks or terraces facing the water. Inland streets near Overlake Golf and Country Club have large custom homes on landscaped lots. Evergreen Point, at the north end near the SR 520 bridge, holds waterfront homes with docks, boathouses and outdoor structures exposed directly to the lake.
Medina’s waterfront location means homes face wind and spray off Lake Washington, especially on west and south walls. Mature landscaping and large trees shade many properties, which keeps decks, trim and lower walls damp for extended periods. Long, gray winters slow drying even where sun reaches. Large windows and wide decks on lake-facing sides take the brunt of storms. Irrigation and landscape beds placed close to walls can add moisture where siding meets the foundation.

Neighborhoods and permits in Medina
Homes on Evergreen Point and along the waterfront take direct exposure off the lake, so view decks, lake-facing windows and docks show wear first. Inland properties near Overlake Golf and Country Club are more sheltered but heavily landscaped, and shade and irrigation drive rot at lower walls and trim. Older mid-century homes remaining between the newer estates often have original wood siding and minimal flashing details.
Replacing a piece of trim or several deck boards with matching material is often permit-free. Framing repairs, new decks and larger siding or window projects generally require review. Medina is a small city that pays close attention to exterior work, so we speak with the City of Medina early and build any permit and inspection steps into the plan.
