Wood rot and water damage repair
Rotten door frames, sills, porch parts, trim, and siding repaired after the water source is found, with matched profiles so repairs disappear.
How John Approaches Wood rot and water damage repair
Rot starts small, often at a door frame, window sill, porch column base, or trim joint where water collects. Left alone, it spreads into framing and subfloors and becomes a much larger project. Water damage inside the house follows the same pattern: a slow leak under a tub or behind a wall quietly softens wood long before anyone sees it.
John takes a repair first approach. Rather than tearing out everything in sight, he finds where the water is coming from, removes only what is truly damaged, and rebuilds with wood that matches the original profiles. On homes across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and the rest of the Treasure Valley, the goal is a repair you cannot pick out once it is painted.
Problems We Solve
- Rotten exterior door frames and thresholds that let in drafts and water
- Soft or crumbling window sills, casing, and exterior trim
- Decay at porch column bases, railings, steps, and decking edges
- Damaged siding, corner boards, fascia, and soffits near the ground or roofline
- Interior water damage around tubs, showers, toilets, and windows
- Peeling paint that hides deteriorating wood underneath
What the Work Can Include
- Rotten door frame, jamb, and threshold repair
- Window sill and exterior trim replacement
- Porch column bases, posts, and railing parts
- Siding, corner board, fascia, and soffit repair
- Subfloor and framing repair after interior leaks
- Custom milled replacements for profiles no longer available
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Probe and map the damage
John tests the wood around the visible problem to learn how far decay actually extends, including framing behind it.
- 2
Find the water source
A failed flashing, a missing drip edge, a leaking fixture, or a bad grade is identified so the repair is not undone next season.
- 3
Cut out only what is lost
Sound original material is saved wherever possible, and damaged sections are removed cleanly back to solid wood.
- 4
Rebuild with matched profiles
New parts are milled or selected to match the original, fitted tight, sealed, and prepared for paint so they blend in.
Repair First, Replace When Needed
A rotten door frame rarely means a new door, and a soft sill rarely means a new window. John explains what can be saved, what must be replaced, and what each choice means for your plan, so you can decide with a budget you are comfortable with.
Built for Idaho Weather
Boise's dry summers, freeze and thaw cycles, and snow that sits against siding are hard on exterior wood. Repairs are detailed to shed water, with end grain sealed and joints arranged so moisture runs off instead of soaking in.
