Professional wood rot repair for Greater Boston homes
Wood rot repair is critical to maintaining the safety and longevity of your home. In Greater Boston, constant exposure to rain, snow, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles creates ideal conditions for rot to develop, especially around siding, trim, decks, doors, and windows.
Big Dog Painting provides wood rot repair services that go beyond surface fixes. We locate the source of moisture, remove compromised materials, and restore the affected areas so the problem does not return.
Wood rot repair services we offer
Our wood rot repair services are designed to stop deterioration and restore structural integrity. Each project begins with a careful evaluation to determine how far the rot has spread and what repairs are required.
Wood rot repair may include replacing rotted trim and fascia, repairing damaged siding substrates, restoring framing and sheathing, fixing deck components, and correcting moisture paths that caused the rot.
Because wood rot often affects structural components, our carpentry services are a critical part of completing repairs correctly.
When you need wood rot repair
Localized rot damage
If wood rot is limited to specific areas, targeted wood rot repair can restore strength and appearance without requiring large-scale replacement.
Early detection
Addressing rot early often allows for simpler repairs and helps prevent damage from spreading into framing or structural components.
Common signs you may need wood rot repair
Soft or crumbling wood
Wood that feels soft, spongy, or breaks apart easily is a strong indicator of rot. This often occurs around trim boards, sills, and exterior corners.
Peeling paint or swelling wood
Paint that peels repeatedly or wood that appears swollen can signal trapped moisture and early-stage rot beneath the surface.
When wood replacement may be required
Widespread or structural rot
If rot has spread into load-bearing components or large sections of the exterior, replacement may be necessary to ensure safety and long-term performance.
Recurring moisture issues
When wood rot continues to reappear, it often points to unresolved moisture problems. In these cases, repairs must include correcting drainage, flashing, or ventilation issues.
Our approach to wood rot repair
Big Dog Painting approaches wood rot repair with a focus on accuracy and durability. We remove all compromised wood, repair or replace affected framing, and address the conditions that caused the rot in the first place. Our carpentry expertise allows us to complete wood rot repairs that blend seamlessly with the existing exterior and stand up to New England weather.
Wood rot repair supported by carpentry expertise
Effective wood rot repair often requires more than surface patching. Trim, siding, decks, and structural framing are all connected, and repairing rot properly means addressing each affected component.
