Protect the details that finish your home
Rot and weather damage often start at trim, fascia, soffit, door casing or porch details. Replacing affected wood and sealing the finished repair helps the exterior look cared for again.
The estimate identifies accessible carpentry work and any boundary that needs a licensed specialty contractor.

Where rot starts
Where wood rots first on a Florida house
In our climate, rot starts where water sits: the bottom of door jambs and the trim around them, window sills, fascia boards behind gutters, the ends of porch and deck boards, the bases of porch posts, and garage door trim near the driveway. Paint that is cracked or peeling on these spots lets water in, and Florida humidity keeps it from drying.
Push a screwdriver into a suspect spot; if it sinks in easily, the wood is soft. We cut out the rotted wood back to sound material and replace it rather than filling large areas with putty.
Termites
Rot or termites?
Northeast Florida has both subterranean and drywood termites. Mud tubes on the foundation, small piles of pellets, or wood that is hollow but not wet suggest termites rather than rot. Termites have to be treated by a pest control company before we replace any wood, otherwise the new trim is next.
Materials
Replacement trim that lasts
For trim that stays wet, such as door bottoms and fascia, cellular PVC trim does not rot and holds paint well. Where wood is used, it is primed on all sides, including the cut ends, before installation, and painted after. Joints are caulked so water runs off instead of in.
If the rot is coming from a roof leak or failed flashing, the roof has to be repaired by a roofer first. Braga does not do roofing. See exterior painting for finishing the repaired areas.
