Common Questions About Carpentry Projects
Can rotting wood be addressed with putty or a wood filler?
Yes, but only as a band aid solution. We always recommend replacing rotting or damaged boards with new boards. Wood rot will continue to spread if the board is not replaced.
What type of wood will you install on my house?
Most newer construction homes are built with trim that is rough sawn cedar. Fiber cement, press board, and T1-11 are also common residential building materials that we will use. We always recommend replacing boards with a matching type and finish.
How do I know if I have rotting wood on my house?
Usually it will be visible and obvious, but sometimes you won’t know until you have a professional on site preparing your home for paint. This blog post will help you to know what to look for.
How to I keep the wood on my house from rotting
Hire a professional painting contractor to repaint your wood trim & siding every 4 to 8 years. The variation depends on the type of painted materials that are on your home. A professional painter will ensure that the caulking in between boards is completed properly. You also want to make sure that your gutters are properly installed and functioning.
