Wood Rot Repair
Rotted wood cut out and replaced, not painted over.
Rot starts where water sits: the bottom of door frames, window sills, fascia under a clogged gutter, siding near the ground or a sprinkler. Paint over it and it keeps spreading behind the paint.
How every job runs
The same four promises on every job, big or small.
- Pay when it's done No deposit and no money up front. You pay after the work is finished and you're happy with it.
- Itemized estimate first Prep, materials and labor, priced line by line before anything starts. No vague totals, no surprise fees.
- A lead on site every working hour A dedicated project lead is on your property whenever the crew is working, so there's always someone to ask.
- The owner checks in daily The owner comes by every day to inspect the work, drop off supplies and keep quality where it should be.

How the job runs
-
Walk-through
We probe the usual spots and show you what's soft and why.
-
Cut out
The rotted wood is removed back to sound material.
-
Replace and prime
New wood is cut to fit, primed on all sides and installed.
-
Caulk, paint and walk-through
Joints sealed, repair painted, and checked with you. You pay once you're satisfied.
Fix the water, or the rot comes back
Rot is a symptom. If a gutter overflows onto the fascia or a sprinkler soaks the siding every morning, the new wood will rot too. We'll point out the cause so it can be fixed.
Rot repair is often found during an exterior paint job, and it's listed separately in the estimate so you see exactly what it costs.

Questions about wood rot repair
Can't you just fill it?
Small spots of surface rot can be treated and filled. Anything soft deeper than that has to be cut out and replaced.
What if it's termites?
If we find signs of termites, we'll stop and tell you, so you can have it treated before the wood is replaced.
Will the repair be painted to match?
Yes. Repairs are primed and painted, usually as part of painting that side of the house.
