Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about rotten wood repair in Arab, AL
Wood repair typically costs $5-15 per linear foot depending on the extent of damage. Small sections (10-20 feet) are common and relatively affordable. We provide detailed estimates showing exactly what needs repair and why.
Signs include soft or spongy wood, peeling paint, visible mold or discoloration, gutters pulling away from the house, and water staining behind gutters. We provide free inspections and will show you any damage we find.
We won't do it — and you shouldn't let anyone else either. Rotten fascia can't hold gutter hardware properly. Screws pull out, gutters sag, and you end up replacing everything sooner than necessary. Repair first, then install.
It depends on the damage extent. Small areas of rot can sometimes be cut out and patched. Extensive damage requires full board replacement. We'll recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective approach for your situation.
Alabama's humidity doesn't decrease much with elevation — Arab still sees high humidity most of the year. When gutters leak or overflow, water soaks into fascia boards and creates perfect conditions for rot. Combine that with temperature swings and you get accelerated wood decay.
