Fascia, sills, siding and deck boards cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, on the coast side and the inland side. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs dry rot, wood rot and termite damage on both sides of the 5 in Carlsbad: the siding and sills on the older Village and Olde Carlsbad homes, the fascia and eave trim in La Costa and Aviara, the deck boards and railings on the lagoon and hillside lots, rebuilt with sound wood, primed, painted and sealed, with the water path fixed. Pest companies treat; we rebuild what the termites ate. The price is in writing before anything starts. Since 2018 our technicians have completed 282 repair visits on 143 Carlsbad homes, both sides of the 5.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Two Carlsbads, two kinds of rot: west of the freeway the marine layer and the salt air keep the sills and siding damp; east of it the sun splits the paint on the fascia and the sprinklers soak the posts. We cut back to sound wood, rebuild, prime and paint, and fix what let the water in.

Depends which side of the 5 you live on. West of the freeway the marine layer sits on the Village, Olde Carlsbad and Terramar until noon, salt air eats the paint film and the ocean-facing sills and siding never dry. East of it, in La Costa, Aviara and Calavera Hills, the sun checks the paint on the fascia and the sprinklers keep the base of every post wet. We look at the exposed wall first, whichever side you are on.
Drywood termites live inside dry fascia and trim and leave hard six-sided pellets under a pinhole. Subterranean termites come up in mud tubes where stucco or siding meets the dirt. Near the lagoons and the coast, wood that stays wet can draw dampwood termites. A licensed pest company treats whichever it is; we rebuild the wood after.
A filler patch in a rotted sill or a fascia board lasts one winter. We cut back to sound wood, splice or replace with the same profile, prime every face and paint to match, so the repair disappears and the water has no way back in.
On the coast side, repaint the ocean-facing wall before the paint fails and keep the sill joints caulked. Inland, aim the sprinklers away from the house and clear the gutters before the winter rain. Everywhere, keep soil and mulch below the weep screed or the siding.
Older homes with wood siding, wood-framed windows and redwood trim, and the salt air to go with them. The bottom courses of siding, the sills and the sashes on the ocean side go first, then the fascia behind the gutters. We rebuild them to shed water, match the profile and seal every joint.
1980s and 1990s stucco homes with wood fascia, eave trim, pop-out sills and patio covers, in association communities. The sun splits the paint on the west faces, the rain follows it in, and drywood termites move into the eaves. We rebuild the boards, match the HOA color and fix the drip edge or the caulk line.
Newer homes with foam trim and less exposed wood, so the rot hides where wood is still used: garage door jambs on the slab, wood-clad sills, deck ledgers and boards. We photograph the profile, match it 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.
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.
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.
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.
The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every rot repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.
Carlsbad's exempt-work list (Municipal Code 18.04.015, form B-38) follows the California Residential Code: painting and similar finish work need no permit, and ordinary repairs to a structure need no application. A rebuilt sill, a fascia board or a run of siding is that kind of repair. The code draws the line at cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support, and rot that deep gets a permit and an engineer, which we tell you on the call.
A Carlsbad sale carries a termite report from a licensed structural pest control company: Section 1 is the active infestation and damage, Section 2 the conditions that lead to it. Treatment and certification stay with the pest company; the wood on the list, siding to sills to deck boards, is our work, reinspected by them when it is done. Send the report and we price from it.
La Costa, Aviara, Bressi Ranch and most of the east side are association communities, and 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.

Call 858-330-5590Most fascia, sill and siding repairs are priced on the call and scheduled within days, on either side of the 5. A deck or a bigger rebuild gets a look first and a written scope before anything starts.
Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated. We cut out the eaten eaves, fascia, trim and siding, rebuild and paint; the report and the treatment stay with the pest company.
Yes. Rot repair is carpentry: fascia, sills, trim, jambs, siding, deck boards. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, which covers a rafter tail or a splice into framing as well. A beam or a ledger is named before anyone opens a wall.
Mostly the reach: how much wood comes out once it is opened, how high it is, and what it has to match. Text a photo and the price is in writing before anything is scheduled; if it runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further.
Not for an ordinary repair: Carlsbad's exempt-work list follows the state residential code, which asks for no application for ordinary repairs or finish work. Rot that reaches a structural beam or a load-bearing support is past that line and gets a permit and an engineer, which we tell you on the call.
Usually. We match the profile and the reveal of the existing boards, replace only the courses that went soft, prime every face and paint to match. If the profile is no longer milled, we say so and show you the closest match before we start.
