Wood Rot Repair

Restore. Protect. Preserve.

Wood rot isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it’s a structural problem that can compromise the integrity of your home. At Town & Country Painting, we take rot seriously and treat every repair with precision carpentry and lasting materials to ensure your home stays solid, safe, and ready for paint.

Why Address Wood Rot Before Painting?

Painting over rot is a short-term fix that leads to long-term damage. Rotten wood won’t hold paint, which means blistering, peeling, and worse—moisture creeping deeper into your home. We ensure that every damaged area is fully repaired before a single drop of paint is applied.

Our Expert Wood Rot Repair Process

We don’t just cover up the damage—we fix it right the first time with a durable, lasting solution.


  • Remove All Affected Material
    Our team fully eliminates rotted wood rather than applying quick cosmetic fixes. We strip away all soft or damaged areas to ensure a solid foundation for repair.


  • Precision Carpentry Repairs
    Whether it’s decorative trim, custom siding, or window casings, we rebuild each element to match the original style and structure of your home.


  • Upgrade Materials Where Needed
    To prevent future rot, we may replace vulnerable areas with         rot-resistant materials like PVC, composite trim, or pressure-treated lumber—especially in high-moisture zones.


  • Seal & Protect
    Once the repair is complete, we thoroughly caulk all seams and apply premium-grade primer and 100% latex paint to lock out moisture and keep your home sealed and protected.


How to Spot Wood Rot

Wood rot often starts quietly but can lead to major structural damage if ignored. If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Catching wood rot early can save you thousands in future repairs and prevent deeper damage to your home. Here’s what to look for:

Soft or Spongy Wood

Press on areas around windows, doors, fascia boards, or porch columns. If the wood gives way easily or feels soft, it’s likely rotting beneath the surface.


Cracking or Flaking Paint

Paint that bubbles, cracks, or peels may be hiding decayed wood underneath. This often occurs when moisture has seeped behind the paint layer.

Discoloration or Mold

Dark patches, greenish stains, or mildew at seams and joints often indicate trapped moisture—an early sign of rot.


Gaps or Separation

Warped boards, visible seams, or separation between trim and siding can signal that the underlying wood has lost integrity.
