Professional wood rot repair & rotted trims replacement in Massachusetts

Before any major exterior paint job, it is imperative to have any rotten wood replaced. Painting over rotten or damaged wood will only lead to further problems in the future, as well as further costs. Ideally, any rotten wood should be removed from the work surface, replaced, and then primed and painted to ensure quality appearance and function. In addition, if the improper installation of other products (i.e. gutters, plumbing) is to blame for wet rot, these problems should also be addressed.

Preventing exterior wood rot on your home

Why does exterior wood rot?

Wood rot is a form of decay triggered by moisture. For example, in the Boston area, water may puddle on your deck floorboards and take a day to dry after a rainstorm. Or your exterior trim that’s near the ground might soak up moisture and take a while to dry out. When this happens, microscopic organisms that can get inside the wood can cause it to rot. This, in turn, weakens the fibers of the wood and causes the integrity of the wood to be compromised.

If you already have wood rot on your home’s exterior, you need to replace the wood in those spots. Nonetheless, it cannot be stressed enough – if the wood on your home’s exterior is rotted, you cannot paint over it to fix the rot. If you paint over wood rot, the paint will peel, and more moisture will seep into the wood.

What parts of my exterior are most vulnerable to wood rot?

Most of the time, moisture gets into cracks in the wood and underneath cracked or peeling paint. The photo below gives you a sense of many vulnerable areas for wood rot on your home’s exterior.

How many sides of the wood should I paint when installing new wood?

Prime all 6-sides of the board – even the cuts – the primer will help keep moisture out and prolong the longevity of the wood. When installing new wood you should prime all 6-sides of the new board to prevent wood rot and increase the longevity of the wood.

Is pressure-treated wood less prone to wood rot?

Yes. Pressure-treated wood undergoes a chemical process in a pressure chamber to make it more durable and less prone to decay. As a result, decks, fences, floating docks, and other structures are prime uses of pressure-treated wood in Massachusetts.
