Wood rot is one of the most common problems on Georgia homes, and it is easy to miss until it gets bad. If you are planning an exterior paint job, this is the time to find it.
Where Rot Starts
Window sills, the bottom of door frames, fascia boards under gutters, bay window trim and the ends of trim boards are where water sits and rot begins.
How To Check
Press the wood with a screwdriver. If it sinks in, feels spongy or crumbles, the wood is rotting.
Why Paint Will Not Fix It
Paint over rotted wood cracks and peels quickly because the wood underneath keeps breaking down. The rot also spreads into the framing over time.
How We Repair It
We cut out the soft wood, replace it with new material that matches the profile, caulk the joints and prime and paint the repair so it is sealed.
One Crew For Both
Because we do the carpentry and the painting, the repair and the paint happen on the same schedule and the new wood blends in.
