Rotted Wood Replacement
Rotted siding, trim, fascia, or decking doesn’t just look bad — it lets moisture in and makes paint fail fast. We replace the damaged wood and paint it in the same visit. No extra contractors needed.
Rotted Wood Replacement in Dunwoody, GA
Most exterior painters in Dunwoody, GA will just paint over rotted wood and hope you don’t notice. We don’t do that. If we find rot during prep — and we always look — we tell you about it, give you a price to fix it, and take care of it ourselves.
Georgia’s heat and humidity accelerate wood rot faster than most homeowners realize. A few bad boards left untreated can spread rot to adjacent areas and eventually compromise the structural integrity of trim, fascia, and siding. Catching it early and replacing the damaged sections is the smart, cost-effective move — and it means your paint job actually lasts.
When You Need This Service
Wood rot isn’t always obvious until it’s advanced. Here are the signs to look for — especially before scheduling exterior painting.
Press a screwdriver gently against suspect trim or siding. If it sinks in easily with little resistance, the wood fibers have broken down and replacement is needed — not just paint.
If the same area of your exterior keeps peeling or bubbling no matter how many times it’s painted, rotted wood underneath is almost always the cause. Painting over rot is a temporary fix at best.
Dark brown or black staining on wood surfaces — especially around windows, doors, and roof lines — often indicates water intrusion and early stage rot. Catch it now before it spreads.
Termites and carpenter ants target soft, rotted wood. If you see signs of pest activity around your exterior trim or siding, there’s a good chance rot is already present underneath.
Our Process
Rotted wood replacement done right means the new section blends seamlessly with the existing exterior — no visible seams, no paint lines, no obvious patches.
We probe and inspect the full exterior — not just the obvious spots. Rot often extends further than the visible damage suggests.
All rotted material is completely removed back to solid, healthy wood. Partial removal leaves the problem in place.
Replacement boards cut to size and installed — matched to the existing profile as closely as possible for a seamless look.
All joints and seams caulked to prevent future moisture intrusion — the source of the original rot problem.
New wood primed and painted to match the surrounding surface. From the street, you won't be able to tell where the repair was made.
Pricing
Cost depends on the extent of the rot, the type of wood involved, and how much needs to be replaced. We assess it in person and give you a written quote before starting.
Rotted wood replacement in Dunwoody, GA is priced based on the linear footage of affected trim and siding, the type of replacement material, and the accessibility of the damaged areas. A few rotted boards on a single-story home is a relatively quick repair. Extensive rot around multiple windows on a two-story home takes more time and material.
The most cost-effective approach is to address rot as part of an exterior painting project. We’re already set up on your property, the surfaces are already being prepped, and the painting naturally follows the repairs. Bundling both into one quote typically saves you money compared to scheduling them separately.
Same crew. Same 4-year warranty. Every repair service under one roof.
Tell us where it is. We’ll assess it, price the replacement, and handle it alongside your painting project — one invoice, one crew, no delays.
