Spring Branch East Wood Rot Repair
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 the Spring Branch East area of Houston 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.

Spring Branch East is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Spring Branch East 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.
