Wood Rot Repair & Prevention
Painting over rotten wood is a temporary fix that traps water and accelerates structural decay. See how our carpenters eliminate rot forever.
1. Moisture Meter Inspection
We probe every sill, fascia board, and corner post with pinless dielectric moisture meters. Any wood measuring over 15% moisture content is flagged.
2. Complete Surgical Removal
Spongy wood is cut back 2 inches past visible decay into healthy timber. We treat surrounding framing with copper naphthenate fungicidal borate solutions.
3. PVC & Hardie Replacement
Replaced with cellular PVC (AZEK) or primed James Hardie fiber cement. These composite elements will never rot, warp, or absorb humidity.
