Wood Rot Repair: Brazos Country, Austin 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 Brazos Country 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.
