Wood Rot Repair: Neartown-Montrose, Harris County
the Neartown-Montrose area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the wood rot repair scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Window sills and bottom corner boards are the first places to check on most homes in this area.
Our Wood Rot Repair scope in Neartown-Montrose
- Joints caulked and the repair painted in
- Trim, fascia, sills and jambs probed for soft wood
- Failed material cut out back to solid framing
- Replacement milled to match the existing profile
- New wood primed on all six faces before install
Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Neartown-Montrose is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Rot here is usually a water-path problem, so we find the source before closing it up.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Neartown-Montrose home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.
