Wood Rot Repair FAQ
Repair questions
Can't you just use epoxy filler?+
Only for very small, non-structural rot. Filler over major rot is cosmetic, the wood behind it keeps rotting. For larger damaged areas, removing and rebuilding the affected section is the more durable approach.
How much of my plantation cottage will need replacement?+
Usually far less than it looks. Most plantation rot is at trim, fascia, and corner joints, the structural framing is often fine. We'll walk it before quoting anything major.
Will you match my old plantation trim profile?+
Yes. We source or mill matching profiles for repair, plantation-cottage character stays intact.
