Exterior Repair FAQ

How Do You Know If Your House Has Wood Rot?

Common signs of wood rot include soft trim, bubbling paint, dark staining, swelling, cracking, crumbling wood, musty areas, and paint that repeatedly peels around windows, doors, fascia, or siding.

Where Wood Rot Usually Shows Up

Wood rot often begins where water sits or enters the home’s exterior. In Tyler and East Texas, humidity and storm exposure can make vulnerable areas fail faster, especially when caulk, paint, or drainage has broken down.

  • Window trim
  • Door trim
  • Fascia boards
  • Soffits
  • Wood siding
  • Exterior corners
  • Porch columns
  • Deck boards and railings

A painter should not ignore wood rot during an exterior repaint. Damaged wood should be repaired before primer and finish coats are applied.
