we cut it out and rebuild it

THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX ROT

Cut Out & Rebuilt in Poway

Poway sun splits the paint on the south and west sides, the winter rain gets behind the fascia, and drywood termites move into the dry eaves. We cut back to sound wood, rebuild, prime and paint, and close the gap the water used.

THE POWAY ROT & TERMITE GUIDE

Know the enemy before
you call anyone

Why Poway wood rots

Sun first, water second. Poway summers bake the paint on fascia, eave trim and sills until it checks, the caulk pulls away from the stucco, and the first winter storm runs water straight into the end grain. At the ground, sprinklers hit the same post and the same corner board every morning. Rot in Poway is a south-wall and west-wall problem, and we look at those walls first.

Drywood termites love dry eaves

The termite that eats most Poway eaves and fascia is the drywood kind: it lives inside the board, needs no soil, and pushes hard six-sided pellets out of pinholes. Subterranean termites come up in mud tubes where stucco or a patio post meets the dirt. A licensed pest company treats the colony; we rebuild the board after. If you are not sure which you have, we tell you.

Patch, filler or rebuild?

A filler patch on a fascia board that is rotted through lasts until the next rain. We cut the board back to sound wood, splice or replace it, prime every face and paint it to match, so the repair reads as original from the street.

Keep it dry in Poway

Turn the sprinkler heads away from the house, keep the gutters and downspouts clear before the first storm, repaint the sunny walls before the paint fails, and keep soil and mulch below the weep screed. In Poway the paint is the roof over the wood.

POWAY, TRACT TO ACRE LOT

Where the house sits decides
where the rot starts

Kaminskiy has rebuilt rotted and termite-damaged wood on Poway homes since 2005. The planned neighborhoods, Old Poway and the hillsides rot in different places.
THE PLANNED NEIGHBORHOODS

Rancho Arbolitos, Green Valley, Garden Road, Stoneridge, Bridlewood

Stucco tract homes from the 1970s through the 1990s with wood fascia, eave trim, pop-out window sills and patio covers. The sun splits the paint on the south and west sides and the rain follows it in; drywood termites take the dry eaves. We rebuild the boards, match the HOA color and fix the drip edge or the caulk line that let the water in.

OLD POWAY AND THE ACRE LOTS

Old Poway, Pomerado Road, Espola Road, the Poway Road corridor

Older homes, wood siding, barns, sheds and long runs of trim, with soil and horse-country dust built up against the wood. Rot starts at the bottom courses of siding and the base of every post, and subterranean termites travel where wood meets the ground. We splice new wood into the old, replace the bottom boards and get the grade back below the wood line.

THE HILLSIDES

the streets above Lake Poway, Twin Peaks, the Old Coach Road side

View homes with decks, balconies and railings facing the weather. Deck boards go soft at the ends, railing posts rot at the base where water pools, and a ledger can hide damage behind the stucco. We rebuild boards and rails where they stand, and name a ledger problem before anyone opens the wall.

The same crew covers the rest of the county from the office on World Trade Drive; the San Diego dry rot and wood rot repair page has the county-wide picture, the City of San Diego permit rule and the termite report in plain words.

WHAT A VISIT LOOKS LIKE

One call, a written price,
then the rebuild

01Call, or text a photo

A fascia board, a sill or a trim piece is priced on the call, in writing. A bigger rebuild gets a look first and a written price before anything starts.

02Open it up, find the edge

We cut back to sound wood and probe how far the rot really goes. If it runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further, with the price.

03Rebuild, prime, paint, seal

New wood primed on all sides, caulked, painted to match, and the water path that caused it fixed: the drip edge, the flashing, the gutter end, the sprinkler.

04Clean up, warranty in writing

The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every rot repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.

Not our lane, and we say so on the call: termite treatment, fumigation and inspection reports (a licensed pest company does those, and we rebuild after them), roof replacement, foundation work and structural engineering. If the rot has reached a beam or a ledger, we tell you what it needs before anyone opens a wall.
RULES WORTH KNOWING

Permits, termite reports and HOAs,
in plain words

Permits

Poway reads the rule tightly: with limited exceptions, its Building Division says a building permit is required for work on the exterior of any structure, and the exceptions are finish work like painting. A small like-for-like repair is where most rot work falls, a rebuild into rafter tails or framing is not, and we check with the city before a bigger job rather than guess.

The termite report

Selling in Poway means a termite report from a licensed structural pest control company. Section 1 is the active damage and infestation, Section 2 the conditions that invite it. The pest company treats and certifies; we do the wood repairs on the list, fascia to door frames to patio posts, and they reinspect. Send the report with the address and we price from it.

HOAs

Rancho Arbolitos, Green Valley, Stoneridge and most of the planned neighborhoods are association communities. A rot repair painted to match the scheme rarely needs a form; a changed trim profile or a new color sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for it.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Poway dry rot questions,
answered

Can't find your answer? Call 858-330-5590 and ask us anything.

Call 858-330-5590

We answer in under three rings, price most fascia, sill, trim and jamb repairs on the call, and usually schedule within days. A bigger rebuild gets a look first and a written scope before anything starts.

Yes. After a licensed pest company treats the colony, we cut out what the termites ate in the eaves, fascia, trim and the framing we can reach, and rebuild it. Treatment and the report are their trade; the rebuild is ours.

Yes. Fascia, sills, trim, jambs, siding and deck boards are carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rafter tail or a splice into framing is fine too. A beam or a ledger gets named before anyone opens a wall.

It depends on how far the rot runs once the board is opened, where it is (a sill at ground level is not a fascia board two stories up on a hillside lot), and the finish it has to match. Text a photo and you get the price in writing before anything is scheduled.

Poway asks for a building permit for most exterior work on a structure, with painting and similar finish work excepted. A small like-for-like repair is where most rot jobs fall; a rebuild into framing is not, and we check with the Building Division before a bigger job rather than guess.

Sometimes. Paint fails first on the south and west walls in Poway, and once it does the rain reaches the end grain of the fascia and the sills. Press a screwdriver into the wood where the paint lifted: if it sinks in, call us before the next storm.

All of Poway from our office in Rancho Bernardo, including Rancho Arbolitos, Green Valley, Garden Road, Stoneridge, Old Poway and the hillside streets, plus Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Sabre Springs, 4S Ranch and Ramona. Call 858-330-5590 to confirm your address.
