Your Westwood Wood Rot Repair Crew

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 Westwood 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.

What the work involves

Our Wood Rot Repair scope in Westwood

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
Joints caulked and the repair painted in

Westwood 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.

A wood rot repair job in Westwood starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.
