Trusted Wood Rot Repair in Austin, TX
Honest exterior carpentry from Medrano's Painting.Soft, crumbling boards on your eaves or trim mean water has gotten in and the wood is rotting. Left alone, that decay spreads and weakens the wood around it. Medrano's Painting has handled wood rot repair and soffit and fascia repair in Austin since 2014, and we are licensed and insured. We find the source of the moisture, fix the damage right, and protect the wood so the problem does not come back.
Why Our Wood Rot Repair Holds Up
We do more than cover up the damage. First we find where water is getting in, because rot keeps coming back if the leak stays. We remove every soft, decayed section, not just the surface, then rebuild with solid wood or epoxy where it fits the job. After the repair we prime and seal the wood so it stays protected through Austin's wet seasons.
What Our Exterior Wood Rot Repair Covers
Our exterior wood rot repair handles the spots on your home most likely to decay:
- Rotted fascia boards along your roofline
- Damaged soffit panels under the eaves
- Exterior wood trim around windows and corners
- Door frames softened by water
- Wood beams and posts showing decay
- Epoxy repair for wood that can be saved
Most wood rot jobs go hand in hand with fresh paint, so we often pair repairs with exterior painting to protect and finish the surface. We can also handle pressure washing first to clean the area before any work begins.
Why Austin Homes Get Wood Rot
Wood rot repair in Austin is common because our climate swings between heavy spring rain and long, humid stretches. That moisture works into fascia, soffit, and trim, especially on older Austin homes with aging paint and worn caulk. Sun and heat also crack old finishes, which lets water reach the bare wood underneath. Catching soft spots early keeps a small repair from turning into a big one.
Signs You Need Wood Rot Repair
Watch for these warning signs around the outside of your home:
- Rotting fascia boards or rotten eaves along the roof
- Soft spots you can press into on exterior wood trim
- Paint peeling or bubbling over the wood

- Water damaged wood trim or visible exterior wood decay

Wood Rot Repair FAQs
The cost of wood rot repair depends on how far the decay has spread, how many boards are affected, and whether the wood can be repaired with epoxy or needs full replacement. Hard to reach areas like high fascia and soffit can also add to the work. We give you a clear written quote after we inspect the damage in person, so you see the full scope before any work starts. Your estimate is always free.
Often, yes. If the rot is caught early and the damage is limited, we can clean out the soft wood and rebuild the area with epoxy. When the decay has spread through a board or the wood has lost its strength, full replacement is the safer choice. We inspect each spot and tell you honestly which approach fits your home, since a quick patch over deep rot will not hold up in Austin's damp seasons.
Paint helps a lot, but only when the wood is sound first. A good coat of primer and paint seals out the moisture that feeds rot, which is why we always seal and paint after a repair. Paint cannot fix wood that is already soft, though, and painting over rot just hides the problem. We repair the damage first, then protect the fresh wood with a proper finish so it lasts.
Wood rot starts when wood stays wet long enough for fungus to grow and break it down. On Austin homes, that moisture usually comes from rain, high humidity, leaky gutters, worn caulk, or old peeling paint that no longer seals the surface. Fascia, soffit, and trim are most at risk because they take the most weather. Fixing the moisture source is just as important as fixing the wood, and we handle both.
Many painters skip it, but we handle exterior wood rot repair as part of our exterior carpentry work. It makes sense to repair the rot before painting, since paint will not stick to soft, decayed wood. We replace or rebuild the damaged fascia, soffit, trim, or door frame, then prime and paint the repair so it blends in and stays protected. That way you get one crew handling the full job from start to finish.
Repairing a fascia board means removing the rotted section, checking the wood behind it for hidden decay, and finding what let water in. We then install a new board or rebuild it with epoxy where that works, seal the joints, and paint it to match. Fascia sits high along the roofline and takes a lot of weather, so doing it right matters. We have the ladders, tools, and experience to handle it safely on Austin homes.
