Wood Rot Services at CertaPro Painters®of Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Posted on May 14, 2019
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is if we repair wood rot, and the answer is YES!
Our wood rot repair services offers Nashville residents the opportunity to have the exterior of their home painted in the way it should be for beautiful results.
Repairing Wood Rot and Exterior Painting
Many people do one of two things:
- They call a carpenter to repair their rotten wood, and then a painting company in Nashville to paint it.
- Have professional painters paint over the rotten wood.
Both of these situations are not worthwhile because it costs not only time but money. How so?
How Hiring a Carpenter and Painting Company Costs You Time and Money
When you have to have two companies come to your home to perform a service, you lose time because they have to schedule the work. This means the carpenter comes one day and then the painter may come later in the day or on another day. This takes more time than just having one team come to your home to repair the wood rot and then paint it. The other downside of hiring two companies to do one job is that it will cost you more money. You’re paying for TWO people to come out to your home, and that will carry an added cost.
The Problem with Painting Over Rotten Wood
The other situation isn’t any better, and it will again, cost you time, and money. Painting over rotten wood will not make it go away. It just masked the problem, and the rot will continue to happen. As the rot grows, the integrity of the structure decreases, and you know what that means – the structure may end up needing to be replaced. The cost of replacing a small piece of wood versus replacing the entire wooden structure is much less, so it’s in your best interest to get it taken care of before the problem gets too big. Again, the time it will take you to then have the wooden structure replaced or just a large area of rotten wood will be much more than just having a small piece of it replaced.
