Wood Rot Repair in Tampa Bay

Wood rot is the damage most exterior companies do not want to talk about, because it is not a simple sale. Humidity, poor ventilation and prolonged rain quietly rot the timber behind soffit and fascia. We find it, document it with photos, and repair the non-structural roofline timber. Where rot has reached framing, rafter tails or the roof deck, we show you what we found and tell you which trade that needs.

Signs of wood rot

Soft, spongy or crumbling wood

Wood gives way when pressed, the clearest sign of active rot.

Dark stains or discoloration

Moisture tracks show where water is sitting in the wood.

Fungus, mold or a musty smell

Organic growth means moisture has been trapped for a while.

Paint bubbling over the wood

Rot pushes finish off from underneath as it spreads.

What's included

We open up enough to see how far the rot actually goes, not only the visible part. We remove and replace the affected non-structural timber and check the moisture source behind it. Everything is documented with photos before and after, including anything we find that belongs to another trade.

What wood rot actually looks like

Eave stripped back exposing weathered wood rafter tails and sub-fascia.

Open eave showing weathered rafter tails and darkened sub-fascia before repair.

This is what an eave looks like once the old fascia comes off, with the timber behind it darkened through. Photographed on jobs we worked on in Florida. Structural elements such as rafter tails are documented and referred, not replaced by us. See more of this work.

Wood rot FAQ

What causes wood rot in Florida homes?

Humidity, poor attic ventilation, and prolonged rain. Water that can't dry out slowly breaks the wood down. Fixing the moisture source is part of the repair.

Will it come back after repair?

Rot comes back when the moisture source stays. We check ventilation and drainage alongside the damaged timber and tell you what we found, so the cause is addressed and not just the symptom.

How do you price it?

By the extent of the damage found on inspection. We can't fairly quote hidden rot until we see it, so the estimate is confirmed in person.
