When you hire a painting company to carry out a job like house painting, that's not the time to find out you have rot. The average painting company can identify places of concern, but some ignore them and try to paint over them. The presence of severe wood problems can mean a painter can't work until the repairs are made, and, in some cases, the risk of losing the job means they don't bother to alert the homeowner.
At Country Painting, fortunately, we're wood repair specialists, so we can identify and rectify wood repair needs. However, we'd still rather that the homeowner know and address the problem before starting an exterior painting job.
While wood is a sturdy and beautiful material to use for your home, it's also prone to issues manufactured materials aren't. It's essential to be aware of these issues and watch for them so you can respond promptly and professionally.
Repairs Or Replacement - Avoiding Wood Disasters
Wood that's outside your home is exposed to the harshest of elements. Even when treated and maintained, you have to expect to run into some repair issues at some point.
UV rays, rain, and the freeze-thaw cycle are just a few examples of conditions that cause problems for wood surfaces like decks, steps, or rails.
An astute homeowner who knows what to look for will be able to catch a problem early when repairs are sufficient. This helps you avoid rot, repairs, and grave issues like collapse or bodily injuries. Be on the lookout for:
- Soft/Spongy Wood
- Bowing
- Peeling Paint
- Holes
- Bubbling Paint
- Powdery Residue
- Warping
- Discoloration
When in doubt, have your wood features inspected to determine if repairs are necessary. Over time, even strong, treated wood usually needs repairs and then replacement. However, with professional care, you can prolong the lifespan for quite some time.
