Rot, termites, weathering – your wood faces a lot of challenges. Over time, that wood can weaken and fail. There is truly no answer other than replacing it. Fortunately, the Veteran’s Painting Plus team offers expert wood replacement services.
Whether it is your deck, fascia, soffit, trim or even fence, our specialists will remove that damaged wood and replace it with fresh, new wood, quickly and professionally.
Causes of Wood Damage
Many things can cause damage to your wood structures. Some are preventable, others are not.
Sun. The UV rays associated with the sun damage wood over time. Keeping a fresh coat of paint or stain on your wood surfaces helps reduce this damage and lengthens the lifespan of the wood itself.
Weather. Other than the solar rays discussed, rain, snow, sleet, and other severe weather conditions cause the wood to expand and contract based on temperature variations. Over time, this will cause the wood to not only age, but to split. Again, keeping a fresh coat of protection can mitigate the damage by keeping moisture out of the wood.
Moisture. Not all moisture is weather-related. Perhaps your gutter system isn’t doing the job, and rain is running off your roof and causing rot on your fascia or soffits. Another example could be a leak under your floor or deck. Moisture in contact with your wood areas will inevitably lead to rot. The answer is to find and repair the area. Nothing else will address the problem.
Insects. Most notable are termites, though there are also ant species that thrive on wood. Termites literally use your wood as a buffet. To reduce the risk your wood can be treated with chemicals. Once established, a termite infestation requires fumigation to eliminate the problem entirely.
Seamless Integration
Anyone can simply slap up a piece of wood and call it good. That isn’t how we do things at Veteran’s Painting Plus. Instead, our craftsmen carefully remove only the damaged areas. We inspect for unseen, underlying damage and advise you if we find additional concerns like termite infestation.
Once the area is fully repaired and any underlying problems addressed, replacement pieces are carefully measured and installed into the damaged area.
We finish the task by painting or staining the entire area to match, ensuring a seamless integration of the repair.
We know you want your home to look its best. That is why Veteran’s Painting Plus takes the extra steps necessary to ensure a flawless wood replacement project. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please call 770-442-0751 and speak to one of our wood replacement specialists.
