Wood Rot Repair in Florida: Why It Happens & How to Fix It

Between humidity, rain, and the occasional leak, wood rot is common in South Florida homes. Caught early, it's an easy fix; ignored, it spreads and gets expensive.

Where wood rot shows up

  • Fascia and soffits
  • Door and window frames
  • Deck boards, railings, and posts
  • Trim and thresholds

Signs to watch for

  • Soft, spongy, or crumbling wood
  • Discoloration or dark staining
  • Peeling paint over swollen wood
  • Visible cracks where water collects

Repair vs. replace

Minor surface rot can sometimes be treated and filled; structural or spreading rot should be cut out and replaced with new, properly sealed wood. We then prime and paint so the repair is invisible.
