If we're into rotten wood repair, then that's going to add $10k to the cost.  But Chris not living on the east coast they dont have humidity or bugs so I didnt factor that in.

You can see the rot in his pictures.  It's not climate specific; wood just rots over time from the rain.  I helped two friends start a replacement window startup in Charlotte and every single wood window frame rots even if it's been maintained with regular painting every 2-3 years.  

With a house that old, I would always assume 50-70% higher cost than what you would expect to see because you don't know how long it's been like that and what other damage is "unseen". His one saving grace is that his roof isn't that big.
