WOOD REPAIR

Overview

Rot is a water problem. A failed paint line or an open caulk joint lets water sit against the wood, and the damage spreads behind the surface long before anything shows from the street.

Carpentry is part of the work we take on, so damaged boards come out and get replaced. Painting over bad wood hides it for a season and then it comes back worse.

We handle wood repair as part of a siding or painting project, or as its own job.

Where Exterior Wood Rots First

  • Fascia and soffit, behind the gutters. More on soffit and fascia repair.
  • The bottom edges of siding and trim, where water splashes or sits
  • Trim around windows, doors and garage doors, especially the bottom corners
  • Chimney siding, where it meets the roof. More on chimney siding.

Replace It With Something That Won't Rot

When a board has rotted once, the spot it's in is a wet spot. Putting the same wood back means the same problem later. Where it makes sense, we recommend James Hardie siding and trim, which don't rot. If you'd rather match the existing wood, we'll do that, primed and painted.

A Few Boards, or the Whole Wall?

A few rotted boards can be cut out and replaced. When a whole wall of Masonite is swelling, patching only buys time, and it's worth talking about Masonite siding replacement. Randy will tell you honestly which one you're looking at.

Wood Repair Before Painting

If you're about to paint, this is the time. Rotted wood gets replaced during prep, before the first coat goes on, so the new paint isn't holding bad boards together. More on our exterior painting.

Wood Repair as Its Own Job

You don't need a bigger project to call us. One rotted corner board, a few feet of fascia, a chimney: we'll come look at it.

More on Wood Repair

  • Soffit & Fascia Repair Fascia is the board your gutters hang on. Soffit is the underside of your roof overhang. When they rot, we replace them, paint them, and get your gutters back where they belong.

How We Do It

  1. We inspect the wood

    Before quoting, we find what needs repair, so the price you get is the real price.

  2. We cut out the damage

    Rotted wood comes out rather than getting covered up.

  3. We replace with sound material

    Matched to what the house already has, or James Hardie where you want something that won't rot again.

  4. We finish it

    Primed and painted so the repair doesn't start over next season.

Wood Rot Repair Questions

01 Can rotted wood just be painted over?

Painting over bad wood hides it for a season and then it comes back worse. We cut out the damaged wood and replace it.

02 What causes wood rot?

Water. A failed paint line or an open caulk joint lets water sit against the wood, and the damage spreads behind the surface before anything shows.

03 What do you replace rotted wood with?

Wood matched to what the house already has, or James Hardie where you want something that won't rot again.

04 Do you paint the repair?

Yes. Repairs are primed and painted.

05 Do you take small repair jobs?

Yes. We handle wood repair as part of a siding or painting project, or as its own job.

06 Do I pay anything up front?

No. You pay nothing to start. Fifty percent is due once the necessary carpentry is complete, and the remaining balance is due after the work is finished and any final inspection passes.

07 What kind of warranty do you offer?

Every project is backed by our written workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right.

08 Where do you do wood rot repair?

Plano, Allen, Frisco and North Dallas, along with Richardson, Carrollton, McKinney, Sachse and Wylie.

Carpentry, not cover-up

We are not a paint-only crew. Bad wood gets cut out and replaced, because covering it just moves the problem to next year.
