Our Jacksonville handyman crew typically identifies wood rot in areas with moisture-related issues. You can commonly find it on exterior wood trim, door frames, fascia boards, soffits, decks, and wood siding. When wood is exposed to water, it begins to break down. Over time, if allowed to progress, the damage can grow to impact the structural integrity of your home. When you begin to notice wood that is soft, spongy, or crumbles easily, it is time to call a professional. Behind rotten wood siding can be wet insulation, mold and other damage. Stains may begin to appear on interior walls. Ponte Vedra Beach, FL homeowners can rely on our repair experts to provide a long-lasting treatment solution that not only addresses visible damage but also addresses the underlying issue.
Inspection and Moisture Removal
Inside and outside the home, water is your nemesis. Plumbing leaks under sinks can rot out cabinet floors. Leaking toilets can damage sub-floors. Failing caulk leads to damage around exterior doors and windows. Peeling paint can allow water to damage whatever is behind it.
It is important to not only understand where damage is occurring, but also to understand why the damage is occurring. Fixing the cabinet floor without addressing the leaky pipe means the leak will continue and the damage will return. Mr. Handyman assesses the whole problem and recommends the corrective action to address the root cause and the resultant damage.
Removal of Rotten Wood
We will carefully remove the rotted wood. For partially damaged sections, repair may be possible. However, for extremely damaged wood, we often have to replace it. This ensures the structural integrity of your home is maintained and prevents future cases of wood rot.

Next, we begin the wood rot repair. Ponte Vedra Beach, FL homeowners can think of wood rot as a silent assailant that slowly deteriorates the structural integrity of their homes. Depending on the type of wood (Pine, pressure-treated lumber, plywood, etc.) and the amount of moisture, damage can accrue slowly or very quickly. Depending on the extent of damage, our service professionals will determine what can be repaired and what must be replaced.
For larger repairs, we replace the wood with new, treated lumber for long-term durability. We cut, seal, and prime (or stain, if desired) the edges to prevent future moisture infiltrations.
