About the Rotted Trim or Fascia
Wood rots where water sits: window sills, door thresholds, column bases and fascia. Peeling paint and soft spots are early signs, and the damage spreads quietly behind them.
We cut out the bad wood, find and fix what let water in, replace with matching or rot-resistant material and caulk, prime and paint.
