Carpentry & Wood Repair
Paint won't fix rot; it just hides it for a season and peels off the soft wood underneath. On the Gulf Coast, where moisture finds every seam, the carpentry has to come first — and a lot of an exterior job is really repair with a finish coat on top.
These articles cover the wood problems we run into before we ever open a paint can: fascia and soffit rot, how failing gutters quietly cause it, telling dry rot from wet rot, storm-damaged siding, and whether PVC trim earns its keep over wood in this climate. There's also the rescue work on historic wood windows that owners would rather restore than replace.
Understanding it explains why thorough prep is where a lasting paint job is actually won.
