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. For beams, posts, and trim you want to keep natural, ask about our wood staining service.
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
- Rotting soffit boards under the overhang
- Water damaged wood trim or visible exterior wood decay

Antonio Medrano's team of 3 just completed repainting the exterior of our c.1930's bungalow. Their work is great! The house is rough to work on with old wood and previous paint that was in bad shape. They spent time scraping the loose paint as well as powerwashing to remove as much as possible. Then they used a good primer extensively to seal down the edges of remaining paint as well as protect. They caulked everywhere to fill joints and cracks. Finally they gave the house a heavy spray or a good brush coat. They even painted the gutters and downspouts which used to match our trim but had faded. It all looks really lovely now. The same 3 men were here every day over a total of 9 days so they always knew what they were doing and where they left off. They were very punctual, worked diligently, consistently & were friendly. Antonio is a good manager and his communication with me was excellent. I also was really impressed with his attention to detail when he first looked at our house. He wanted to paint small areas that I wasn't paying attention to and they look great now. He has a good eye for the overall look as well as evaluating the job at the end. He made sure I was happy with the end result and was ready to fix whatever I pointed out. Antonio really cares about his work and his clients. Finally, the price for all this work was very reasonable. I had 4 painters look at the job and got 3 estimates. I felt like we really got excellent work and results for our investment. I will definitely recommend Medrano's Painting and will hire them again in a minute. Two photos show after scraping began (but some peeling looked almost that bad). After photos include how smooth and well painted the overhang of the roof looks. Now the green fascia visually connects with the underside of the metal roof because they painted the metal too. They did a great job power-washing our deck floor and restaining it. All porch floors and steps were primed to make the paint last longer.

Antonio and his team did an excellent job painting the trim around our house. They were punctual, professional, and detail-oriented from start to finish. The lines are crisp, the finish is smooth, and they took great care to protect the surrounding areas while working. The crew worked efficiently, and the end result really elevated the curb appeal of our home. Highly recommend Antonio and his team for any painting project!

Antonio was great from the start! We needed exterior paint completely redone on our 1950's house. He was quick to come to our house and explained everything to us, what siding and wood soffits may need to get replaced, and then provided a very detailed breakdown of costs to we could choose which options to go with that fit our budget for this project. He was very communicative, his team was awesome and respectful, and their work was well beyond what we expected. Due to our house being old, there was a lot of wood repairs that needed to be done. He took these on with confidence and our house has never looked better! I would definitely recommend Medrano's Painting.

I needed to have the concrete floor and counter in my small (220 sq ft) south Austin Airbnb to be replaced/renovated with a new stain of roughly the same color as the existing one, that had started to wear away, chipped sealer, etc. Rather than go back to the previous contractor, I decided to call Antonio Medrano; he had left his card listing the types of jobs he does, and saying he did free estimates, in my mailbox. So, I asked him to swing by to take a look at my project so I could meet him and see if he would be interested. He came by the next day, checked out the job, said he could do it, and recommended an epoxy paint that would be durable and could be mixed for desired color. Fast forward, and I am happy to say that Antonio and his primary assistant, Angel, were excellent, right on time, easy to work with and 100% honest and sincere. They did a great job on redoing my concrete floor, which was complicated because I have a wood inlay that had to be taped carefully before the paint went on. They got it done right on schedule, and Antonio came by a couple of times during the week of drying and curing to check up on everything. Then, when the toilet was put back in the suite and started failing to refill the tank, they quickly came by again to take care of it. All in all, I am very happy with the work they did, with attention to detail and my schedule. I will add that the cost was more than I had imagined (and I could have hired others for quite a bit less), but I am glad I went with Medrano’s because of the attitude and ethic of Antonio, and the good quality work of Angel — it was worth it! I’ll post a photo of the finished floor to show the area, the color, and wood inlay Angel has to work around with great detail. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MEDRANO’S PAINTING!

We hired Medrano's Painting for two complete interior paint jobs (walls, ceilings, trim, and doors) within the last month. Antonio and his team did amazing work. Extremely thorough prep work and painting. They flagged little finish details before we had a chance, and Antonio was very responsive throughout the projects. His guys worked early and late to keep things on schedule. We will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!

Professional, clean and efficient. They are the best! We used Medrano’s Painting to paint the exterior of our house – including a recently-installed fascia of our new roofing and windows framings. They came out the next day we contact them, and did an estimate (which was very reasonable), and got us on their schedule really quickly, especially considering all of the delays and backlogs in the construction/ home improvement industry right now. The crew were very friendly, professional and worked quickly. Antonio Medrano, the business owner, is very communicative and professional. We were so happy with the results. They have attention to detail, and when the work was finished the exterior of the house had no vestiges of materials left behind. I’d use them again in a minute, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We used Medrano’s Painting to paint most of our home. We have tons of trim and molding and we’re on a tight timeline, but the team worked within our deadline and did a beautiful job. Antonio is very professional and great to work with! I would definitely use them again.

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.
