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.
