Rotten Wood Siding & Trim Services for Repair & Replacement

Protect Your Home from Decay & Structural Damage

In Gainesville’s humid climate, wood rot thrives, threatening your home’s structural stability and visual appeal. At Painted By Jay, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing rotten siding, trim, and fascia caused by moisture intrusion, termites, or aging materials. Our process begins with a meticulous inspection of affected areas—from window sills vulnerable to rainwater seepage to porch columns compromised by ground contact—ensuring we address both visible damage and hidden vulnerabilities.

By replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated, decay-resistant lumber and sealing joints with waterproof caulking, we halt further deterioration while restoring your home’s architectural integrity.

Seamless Repairs That Preserve Aesthetic Unity

Matching new materials to your home’s existing siding requires artistry. We source wood species and profiles—like cedar clapboard or cypress trim—that align with your original architecture, then hand-paint or stain replacements to blend seamlessly with untouched areas.

For historic homes in Gainesville’s Duck Pond district, we replicate traditional techniques like tongue-and-groove joints or custom millwork to maintain heritage charm.

All replacements are pre-treated with borate solutions to resist future rot and insects, providing lasting protection against Florida’s harsh elements.

Preventative Strategies for Long-Term Durability

Post-repair, we empower homeowners with maintenance plans tailored to Gainesville’s climate. This includes applying water-repellent sealants every 3–5 years, installing zinc stripping under roof peaks to inhibit moss growth, and improving ventilation in enclosed soffits.

For properties with recurring moisture issues, we integrate drainage solutions like graded landscaping or gutter extensions to divert water away from vulnerable wood.

These proactive measures extend your siding’s lifespan while reducing long-term repair costs.
