        "text": "Repairing a window sill typically involves fixing localized damage, such as filling cracks, patching small rotted areas, or repainting. This approach is more cost-effective and less invasive when the damage is superficial or limited to a small section. Replacing a window sill means removing the entire old sill and installing a new one. This is necessary when the damage is extensive, affecting the structural integrity, or if there's widespread rot that compromises the entire component. A key decision factor is the overall condition: if more than 25-30% of the sill is compromised, replacement is usually the more durable solution.",
