Rotten Wood Repair in Guntersville, AL

Material and labor runs $15-28 per linear foot for standard fascia replacement, depending on accessibility and damage extent. Most lake home repairs are 20-60 feet of fascia — $400-1,700 for the repair portion. If rot has spread to soffit or rafter tails, that adds to the scope. We quote after inspecting — no guessing at hidden damage.

Lake Guntersville keeps humidity at 75-90% much of the year. Fascia absorbs that moisture constantly. When gutters leak or overflow — even small amounts — water saturates wood that never fully dries. The cycle creates ideal rot conditions. We see 3-4x more fascia damage on lake properties than homes in Huntsville.

From the ground: paint bubbling or peeling, dark water stains, visible gaps between fascia and soffit, gutters pulling away from the house. The real test is pushing on the wood — if it's soft or spongy, that's rot. We check fascia condition on every gutter estimate.

Yes. We can check your lake property, document damage with photos, and provide a detailed estimate by email. If you approve, we can often complete repairs before your next visit. Many of our Guntersville customers handle fascia work this way.

Soffit repair runs similar cost to fascia. If rot has reached rafter tails, those are $200-400 per rafter including sister reinforcement or full replacement. We assess the complete extent before quoting — better to know the real scope upfront than discover surprises mid-project.
