Rotten Wood Repair in Cullman, AL

Fascia repair typically costs $8-15 per linear foot, depending on damage extent, accessibility, and material type. Most homes need 10-40 feet replaced — usually isolated sections, not the entire house. Historic homes requiring matching profiles cost more. We inspect thoroughly and provide detailed estimates before any work begins.

Yes, with appropriate care. Cullman's older homes often have original fascia requiring matching materials and profiles. We can source appropriate lumber and work carefully with existing historic elements. The repair should blend with original materials, not stand out as an obvious patch.

Usually water damage from overflowing or leaking gutters. Water runs behind the gutter, soaks into fascia, and causes rot over time. Alabama's humidity — especially near Smith Lake — accelerates the process significantly. Fixing the gutter problem prevents future damage.

Signs include: peeling or bubbling paint, soft wood when pressed (critical — press on it, don't just look), dark staining, gutters pulling away from the house, or visible gaps between fascia and soffit. We inspect fascia on every gutter estimate and often find damage homeowners didn't know existed.

We make every effort to match existing profiles and materials appropriately. For historic homes, this matters — new fascia should blend with original elements, not stand out. We can source period-appropriate lumber and work to match existing trim details.
