Rotten Trim and Siding

Nearly every exterior painting job requires some kind of rotten wood repair. Rotten trim and siding are the most common we deal with. Persistent leaks and runoff causes wood to age rapidly, along with exposure to the sun. We see it most often in trim around doors and windows, especially areas that are constantly damp or shaded.

Rotten wood on your house is not just unsightly; it will also cause your home to age more rapidly. Holes and gaps will develop that allow moisture and bugs to penetrate the wood, further accelerating the process. Areas with minor damage can sometimes be patched and painted over, but more serious areas should be removed and replaced.

Fascia and Roof Trim

The fascia and roof trim are other areas that are prone to rot. The fascia is the trim that faces outward, directly beneath the roof-line. Runoff from the roof will drip down onto the fascia. Some areas that might be missing the metal flashing will be prone to rot… the corners of the fascia is a location where this tends to happen often.

Again, any rotten or deteriorating areas should be addressed rather than just painted over. Any contributing factors should also be addressed, such as missing or damaged metal flashing.

Gaps and Holes

Whether spraying or rolling your home’s exterior, we always fill and caulk all the gaps we come across. These generally are present where the trim meets the siding, at the corners of the house, or around penetrations (such as a gas line entrance). Some larger gaps might require additional labor to close up, but caulking is generally a pretty standard step in the prepping process.

Holes are a little less common, sometimes caused by a tree limb or a pest like a raccoon or squirrel. We have seen holes in virtually every location you can think of on a home. Many homeowners don’t even realize there is a problem until a family of raccoons move into the attic. Trust us from personal experience… you don’t want that!
