Wood Rot Repair
Wood Rot Repair
in Raleigh, NC
Wood rot doesn't just look bad — it threatens your home's structure. Miguel Martinez finds the moisture source, removes all of the decayed wood, and rebuilds with exterior-rated material throughout the Triangle area. Wood rot repair projects elsewhere in North Carolina are considered upon request.
Common Problems We See
Soft, Spongy Wood
Wood that gives under pressure or shows dark, fibrous patches is actively rotting. We probe suspect areas to find the full extent of the damage.
Fascia, Soffit & Trim Rot
Roof edges and trim are highly exposed and a common first spot for rot. We remove the decayed sections and rebuild with material rated for exterior exposure.
Window & Door Frame Rot
Sills and lower jambs catch water and rot first. We rebuild frames and re-flash to direct water away from the opening.
Structural Rot
When rot reaches framing, joists, or studs, it's a structural issue. We sister or replace compromised members and eliminate the moisture source.
How We Approach the Work
- 1
Find the Moisture Source
Rot returns unless the water feeding it is stopped. We identify and fix the leak or drainage problem first.
- 2
Remove All Decayed Wood
We cut back to solid, sound lumber — leaving any soft wood behind guarantees the rot comes back.
- 3
Rebuild with Treated Material
Framing, trim, and sheathing are rebuilt with exterior-rated materials sized to match the original.
- 4
Flash, Seal & Prevent
Proper flashing, caulk, and finish direct water away from the repair so the new wood stays dry.
