Wood Rot Repair: Bayou Vista, Galveston County
Cut out and replaced, not caulked over — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches wood rot repair, and it does not change between Bayou Vista and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: rot here is usually a water-path problem, so we find the source before closing it up, so the scope gets set on site.
