About this package

Caught early, wood rot is fast and inexpensive to fix.

Wood rot is the most common exterior repair we get called for in The Woodlands area. Houston humidity (75% year-round average), plus failed flashing or caulk and years of missed maintenance, equals soft, spongy wood within 5–10 years on most homes. Caught early, repair is fast and inexpensive. Left for years, rot spreads into structural framing and the repair becomes a remodel.

This package covers exterior wood replacement on common rot zones: fascia and soffit, exterior door jambs (especially garage entry doors), window casings, siding boards (HardiePlank or wood), corner trim, eave trim. We replace the rotted wood with primed material rated for exterior use, treat the underlying surface, and paint to match.

If rot has spread into structural framing (wall studs, roof rafters, deck joists), that's larger scope — we'll flag it during the assessment visit and quote separately. Most rot we encounter is surface trim and fascia work that fits this package.

Every wood rot & trim repair includes

Included in starting price

Standard scope

  • Site assessment at the free estimate visit (we identify all visible rot zones and probe with a screwdriver)
  • Demo and removal of all rotted wood — fascia, trim, siding boards, casings
  • Underlying surface inspection — checking for moisture damage in framing or sheathing behind the rot
  • Replacement wood — primed pine trim, primed HardiePlank siding, or cedar (your choice depending on existing material)
  • Proper installation with stainless or galvanized fasteners (won't rust and bleed)
  • Caulking at all joints, transitions, and penetrations to prevent future moisture intrusion
  • Primer coat on any bare wood surfaces (top, sides, ends — the cuts where rot starts)
  • Two coats of exterior paint to match existing color (we color-match at the paint store using a chip)
  • Cleanup — all rotted debris hauled away, paint chips swept up
Available as add-on (extra cost)

Beyond the package

  • Structural framing repair (rotted wall studs, rafters) — larger scope, separate quote
  • Roof work or roofing materials (we don't shingle — refer to roofer if roof is the cause)
  • Window or door replacement (we replace the trim around them, not the window/door itself)
  • Pressure washing the whole exterior (we clean only the work area)
  • Whole-house re-painting (we paint only the repaired sections)
  • Sprinkler system relocation if irrigation is causing the rot (recommend irrigation specialist)
  • Termite treatment if termite damage is found (recommend a professional pest control company)

All add-ons priced transparently in your written estimate before any work begins.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this package

Still unsure? Call 346 248 74 97.

Look for: visible cracks or dark stains in trim, fascia, or siding (especially at the bottom of trim where water collects); peeling or bubbling paint in localized areas (paint can't adhere to wet wood); soft spots when you press with a screwdriver — sound wood resists, rotted wood gives way easily; visible mushrooms or fungal growth on wood surfaces. If you see any of these, schedule an assessment — early repair is much cheaper than late.
It almost always comes down to water finding its way into the wood and staying there. The main culprits we see: (1) Houston humidity — wood absorbs moisture from the air, especially on shaded, north-facing walls that don't get sun-dried. (2) Failed flashing or caulk — small gaps at trim joints, window and door edges, or the roofline let rain in. (3) Missed maintenance — paint and sealant break down over years and stop protecting the wood. On ground-level walls, sprinkler over-spray can add to the problem too. We identify the cause during assessment so the repair lasts.
Yes — we color-match using either your existing paint code (if you have it) or by taking a chip to a paint store for spectrometer match. Match accuracy is 95–98%; small differences may be visible up close due to UV-fading on existing paint, but blends well at normal viewing distance.
Always investigate behind visible rot. Surface rot often indicates moisture has been getting in for years, and the wall sheathing or framing behind may also be compromised. We probe and inspect during demo. If we find hidden damage, we document with photos and discuss options before adding scope to your bill.
If we fix the underlying cause (re-flash, re-caulk properly, restore the paint and sealant barrier), the repair typically lasts 10–15+ years. If we just replace the rotted wood without addressing why water keeps getting in, rot returns in 3–5 years. We always identify and discuss the underlying cause during assessment — and either fix it as part of the project or refer you to the right specialist (roofer, irrigation, etc.).
Yes — and they often happen together (termites prefer moist wood). We can't tell for sure without proper inspection but we'll flag if we suspect termites during demo. If termites are confirmed, we recommend treatment by a professional pest control company before we replace wood; otherwise the new wood gets infested too.
