We do not publish flat prices for wood rot repair, because two Greater Heights homes can need very different amounts of work behind the same-looking job. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number, and then put yours in writing after a free walkthrough.

- How far the rot runs: probing usually finds more than the eye does

Why Greater Heights homeowners call JM Painting
JM Painting & Remodeling has been doing this work for 20+ years, and the way we run a Greater Heights job reflects it: the scope goes in writing before we start, the preparation is priced as part of the work instead of skipped to win the bid, and nothing gets added without your approval.
One number, one crew, one standard: you get a direct line to the people doing the work at your Greater Heights home, not a call center, and the person who quoted the job is reachable until the punch walk is signed off.
