We don't patch over rot. We remove it completely, treat the substrate, and replace it with quality materials that won't fail again. Then we prime and paint it to match.
Wood rot spreads. What starts as a small soft spot can compromise structural members if left alone. Here's what to look for:
A lot of contractors will fill rotted wood with epoxy filler and paint over it. That might look fine for a year. But the rot is still there, still spreading, and you'll be calling someone again sooner than you think.
We do it right: remove all the compromised material, treat the area, and replace it with new wood or composite that's properly primed and sealed. The repair lasts because we addressed the actual problem.
We've been doing carpentry repairs alongside painting in Rockwall and East DFW for over 14 years. We know how to spot rot, how far it typically spreads, and how to fix it so it doesn't come back.
Rotted fascia and soffit boards are one of the most common issues we see in East DFW. We remove the damaged wood, treat the area, and install new boards that are properly primed and painted to last.
Trim around windows and doors is constantly exposed to moisture. When it rots, it opens the door to bigger structural problems. We replace it cleanly and seal it properly.
Rotted deck boards, posts, or framing members get replaced with pressure-treated lumber. We don't patch rot — we remove it and replace it with material that won't fail again.
Whether it's wood, hardboard, or fiber cement siding, we repair or replace damaged sections and blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Garage door frames and casing take a beating from weather and vehicles. We replace rotted or damaged sections and finish them to match the rest of your home.
Stair stringers, railings, columns, corbels, shutters — if it's wood and it's rotted or damaged, we can replace or repair it.
Five steps to a repair that lasts. No shortcuts, no hiding problems.
We probe the affected areas to determine the full extent of the rot. Often what looks like a small problem is more widespread underneath. We find it all before we start.
We don't patch over rot. All compromised wood is removed completely. Leaving even a small amount of rot behind allows it to spread to the new material.
After removal, we treat the underlying structure with a wood hardener or borate solution to kill any remaining fungus and prevent future rot.
We install replacement wood, composite, or PVC trim depending on the location and your preference. All new material is properly fastened and sealed at every joint.
All bare wood gets primed immediately after installation. We don't leave bare wood exposed. Then we paint to match your existing trim color.
"Daltonn replaced all the fascia and soffit on the back of my house. The rot was more extensive than we thought, but he found it all, replaced it properly, and painted it to match perfectly. Excellent work."
"Had rotted window trim on three windows. Daltonn replaced all of it, caulked everything properly, and painted it. You'd never know it was replaced. Very professional."
"Daltonn found rot in my porch framing that I didn't even know was there. He replaced the damaged sections and the porch is solid again. Honest, thorough, and skilled."
