Wood rot repair that keeps the original wood
Ben Henderson owns Preservan Dallas, a wood rot repair company serving Dallas and its northern suburbs. The team repairs rotted windows, door jambs, trim, decks and porches in place with structural epoxy, finished and color-matched, with a ten-year warranty.
Ben Henderson is the local owner of Preservan Dallas. Instead of tearing out a rotted window sill or door jamb and replacing it, his team removes the decayed material and rebuilds the section in place with Everesin, a marine-grade structural epoxy, then recreates the original molding and trim profiles so the repair disappears. The result keeps original wood windows and architectural details that are expensive or impossible to replace.
Every job follows three steps: diagnose the extent of the rot, preserve the wood with the repair or a preventive treatment, and protect it with finish and color-matched paint. Most projects take one to three days, and clients receive before-and-after photos. Epoxy repairs carry a ten-year warranty. Beyond rot repair, Preservan Dallas restores decks and porches, applies preventive treatments and stains and washes fences and decks.
The work is mostly for homeowners, especially in older neighborhoods with wood windows, though the portfolio includes churches, schools and commercial buildings. Crews use dust extraction and products the company describes as eco-friendly and pet safe. Service covers Dallas, including Uptown, Oak Lawn, Bishop Arts and Deep Ellum, plus Addison, Carrollton, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Garland, Rockwall and Wylie.

★★★★★7 months agoWhat an amazing experience! This company was incredible. We googled several companies and Preservan had impressive credentials regarding Wood Rot and Water Damage Repair for the Exterior of our home. Their owner Ben who is a Mechanical Engineer, has a very effective epoxy process. We should not have any problems for many years. I spoke with Ben on Tuesday, we approved the quote and Jonathan, his Ops Manager and Fernando, one of his technicians arrived at 9 AM on Wednesday morning ready to get to work. These gentlemen provided great teamwork, were very professional, and kept the job site very clean.
★★★★★3 months agoI am so happy to have found a trusted resource to restore and repair the windows and doors in our historic home! Very easy to schedule, transparent pricing, professional technicians and quality work. Our 100 year old door looks as good as new!
★★★★★11 months agoOur 100yr old front door has been through so many repairs for wood rot but believe we finally found the right solution. Work was just completed this week so time will tell but extremely pleased with the process, communication and professionalism of the entire team. Would highly recommend Preservan.
★★★★★3 months agoThe Preservan team provided a thorough estimate of the work and completed the process in a thorough and timely manner at the estimated cost. The team of workmen were personal, professional, well-organized and very neat which was important because the project involved working from both inside and outside the second-floor windows. They report their projects often involve repairing prior, failed repairs by handymen and painters not experienced in making wood rot repairs that last.
★★★★★a year agoLooks good as new! Super quick, everyone was professional and easily worked around my schedule. I didn’t have the correct paint color at the time of the repair so they just primed it for me and I was able to paint later
Questions people ask
Is epoxy repair as strong as replacing the wood?
Preservan uses Everesin, a marine-grade structural epoxy, to rebuild the damaged section in place and recreates the original molding profile. The repair is finished with color-matched paint and carries a ten-year warranty.
How long does a repair take?
Most projects finish in one to three days, including painting. Staining and treatment projects are often faster.
Can you save original wood windows?
Yes, that is the core of the work: repairing sills, sashes and frames in place so homeowners keep the original windows rather than replacing them.
