Wood Repair and Fascia Replacement
Rotted fascia, soft trim and damaged siding cut out and replaced. Then painted by the same crew, on the same quote.
Most painters will not touch this
Ask a painting company about rotted fascia and you usually get one of two answers. Either they will paint over it, or they will tell you to hire a carpenter first and call back when the wood is sound. Both leave the problem with you.
Michael spent five years in general contracting before five more painting. That is why the carpentry is ours. Damaged wood gets cut out, replaced with new primed material, and finished as part of the same job on the same written quote.
What the job includes
Every item below is in the written quote. Nothing here is an upsell later.
Why wood fails here
The same house painted the same way fails differently depending on where in the county it sits.
Coastal salt air
From Seal Beach down to San Clemente, salt air and marine layer keep timber damp. Fascia and trim on the seaward elevation can go in half the time of the rest of the house.
Sprinkler overspray
A sprinkler hitting siding or a post every morning will destroy it quietly over a few years. We find this on almost every inland job.
Sun and movement
Inland heat opens joints as timber expands and contracts. Water gets into the gap, and the rot starts where nobody can see it.
What moves the price
- How many linear feet of material need replacing
- Height and access, whether it needs ladders or staging
- Whether the profile is stock or has to be milled to match
- How far the damage runs once the first board comes off
- Whether the repair is standalone or part of a full repaint
Rot is quoted from the walkthrough, in writing, before work starts. If something is genuinely hidden until the surface opens up, you get a written change order first.

Questions about exterior painting
Can you just fill the rot instead of replacing it?
Filler works on small surface defects. Structural rot has to come out, because filler over soft wood fails within a season and takes your paint with it.
Are you licensed for carpentry?
Yes. CSLB 1132893, licensed and insured, with five years of general contracting behind the painting side.
Will the new wood match?
Stock profiles match directly. Anything unusual gets milled or built to match the existing detail.
Do I need a separate contractor?
No, that is the whole point. Repair and paint are one crew, one visit and one quote.
How do I know if I have rot?
Press a screwdriver into the fascia under the gutter line. If it sinks, the wood is gone. We check this free on the walkthrough.
