The Problem

What Is Wood Rot — and What Causes It?

Wood rot is the natural decomposition of wood, caused by moisture and several types of fungi working together to break it down. In nature it's a healthy process that returns nutrients to the soil. In your home, it's a serious problem if left untreated.

Different fungi cause different reactions, so rot doesn't always look the same. That's why it's important to have a professional inspect your windows for signs of damage.

Signs of Wood Rot We Look For

  • Swelling
  • Discoloration
  • Soft spots
  • Mold
  • Missing paint and raw wood

Wood rot often hides behind paint — our team inspects both visually and by touch at key points around your home.

How to Fix Wood Rot

The only permanent solution for rotting wood is replacement. Once wood begins to decompose, it cannot be restored, and the longer it's left untreated, the greater the risk of the rot spreading to surrounding wood and deeper into your home. Every home is different, which is why we'll recommend the best solution based on the extent of the damage — from targeted wood repairs and partial replacements to replacing full sections when necessary. Our goal is to restore your home's integrity and help keep it in pristine condition, protected from the elements for years to come.

On windows, we can do whatever is needed: replace a sill, nosing, or brick mold. We can even rebuild the sash with new wood and replace the fogged glass. For siding, trim, soffits, fascias, gutter boards, band boards, and door frames, see our Wood & Siding Replacement page.

The Process

The Guy Painting Wood Repair Process

Carpenter First

Before we paint, one of our skilled carpenters comes out to inspect and repair your window's wood.

Pre-Primed, Matched Material

The wood we use is pre-primed — ready to withstand weather from the moment it's installed — and matched to your window's existing material so the repair blends in perfectly.

Prep and Paint

Once carpentry is done, our painters take over: professionally prepping, including scraping, priming, and caulking, ensuring the window is ready for 2 coats of the best-quality exterior paint.

Quality Managers Monitor

Our Quality Managers monitor progress and quality from start to finish.

Accountability

Every Homeowner Gets a Grade Card

At the end of every job we hand out a Grade Card so we get honest feedback. For us this is one of the most critical parts of the process. Every member of our team reads every grade card — because customer satisfaction is the priority, and we work to earn your trust on every project.
