Fascia, eave trim, sills, patio cover beams and door jambs cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, painted to the village scheme. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair cuts out dry rot, wood rot and termite damage on Irvine homes and rebuilds it with sound wood, from our office on Michelson Drive: the fascia and eave trim on the first villages, the patio cover beams the drip lines keep wet, the sills and jambs at the stucco line, the balcony trim and railings on the attached homes. Primed on every face, painted to the association's color, sealed, with the water path fixed. A licensed pest company treats; we rebuild after. The price is in writing before anything starts. Since 2023 our technicians have completed 192 repair visits on 130 Irvine homes, rot among them.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Irvine wood rots on a schedule: the irrigation runs every morning, the drip line soaks the same post base and jamb bottom, and the inland sun checks the paint on the west face until the next rain gets in. We cut back to sound wood, rebuild with the same profile, prime, paint to the village color and move the water.

Water on a timer. Irvine runs on irrigation, and every village was planted with sprinklers and drip lines that run before dawn and soak the same post base, the same jamb bottom and the same corner of stucco every day of the year. The inland sun then checks the paint on the west and south faces, and the winter rain follows the cracks into the end grain of the fascia and the sills. The fix is sound wood, primed on every face, and the emitter moved off the house.
Two termites work Irvine. The drywood kind lives inside dry fascia, eave trim and patio cover beams, needs no soil, and pushes hard six-sided pellets out of pinholes in the paint. The subterranean kind comes up from irrigated soil in mud tubes where the stucco or a post meets the ground, and the daily watering is exactly what it likes. A licensed pest company identifies and treats; we rebuild what was eaten, scheduled after them so the wood is opened once.
A rot repair in Irvine has to pass two tests: the water and the association's eye. We cut the board back until the probe stops sinking, splice or replace with the same profile, back-prime it, caulk the joint and paint it to the village color from the approved scheme, so the repair reads as original from the sidewalk. A filler patch over rotted wood passes neither.
Walk the irrigation once a season: move the emitters and heads that wet the stucco, the posts or the fence line, and shorten the run time on the shady side. Keep the gutters clear before the winter rain, keep mulch below the weep screed, and repaint the west face before the paint fails rather than after. In Irvine the sprinkler timer decides how long the wood lasts.
Stucco and wood-trim homes from the 1970s and 1980s, with open-beam patio covers, wood fascia, wood-framed windows and attached homes with wood balconies. Forty years of irrigation have found the post bases and the jamb bottoms, the sun has split the fascia on the west faces, and the drywood termites have found the patio covers. We rebuild the beam ends, fascia and sills, match the association's color, and move the emitter that caused it.
Newer homes on slope lots with decks, balconies and railings facing the afternoon wind off the coast, and long runs of fascia under tile roofs. Deck boards go soft at the ends, railing posts rot at the base where the water pools, and a ledger can hide damage behind the stucco. We rebuild boards, rails and fascia where they stand, and name a ledger problem before anyone opens the wall.
The youngest homes in the city, with foam trim and little exposed wood, so the rot shows where wood is still used: garage door jambs on the slab, wood-clad sills, balcony trim and the builder's deck details. Design standards are strict here, so we photograph the profile and the color and match both, and the first repair is the one to get right.
The same crew covers the rest of the county from the office on Michelson Drive; the Orange County dry rot and wood rot repair page has the county-wide picture, the permit rules city by city 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.
Irvine publishes its own list of work that needs no permit, and it is short: painting, papering and similar finish work, replacement windows and doors in the same opening, and a few more. The city says a permit is required for most construction or repair activity regulated by code, and a patio cover needs one regardless of size. A like-for-like fascia board or sill is finish-and-trim carpentry on that line; a rebuild into rafter tails, a patio cover beam or framing is not, and we ask the Permit Processing Center before a job like that rather than guess.
When an Irvine home changes hands the buyer wants a termite report, written by a licensed structural pest control company under California's pest board. Section 1 is the active infestation and the damage it caused; Section 2 is the conditions that invite it, which in Irvine usually means earth-to-wood contact and an emitter against the stucco. The pest company treats and certifies; the fascia, jambs, patio posts and sills on the list are our carpentry, and they reinspect it. Send the report with the address and the price comes back from it, in writing.
Nearly every Irvine home answers to a village association, and a rot repair painted to the approved color rarely needs a form; a changed trim profile or a new patio cover beam sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for the architectural committee. The condo and townhome associations in Woodbridge, University Park, Westpark and the new villages also carry California's balcony inspection law: rot the inspector flagged in a railing, a deck board or balcony trim is our lane, and a rotted ledger or a structural member goes to the engineer first.

Call 714-844-1582Our office is on Michelson Drive, so most of Irvine is fifteen minutes away. A fascia board, a sill or a jamb is priced on the call and usually scheduled within days; a patio cover, a balcony or a deck gets a look first and a written scope before anything starts.
Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated. We cut out the eaten fascia, eave trim, patio cover beam ends and the framing we can reach, rebuild with sound wood and paint to the village color. Treatment and the report are the pest company's; the carpentry is ours.
Yes. Fascia, sills, jambs, trim, siding, balcony trim and deck boards are carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rafter tail or a splice into framing is fine too. If the rot has reached a beam that carries a patio cover roof or a balcony ledger, we say so first and tell you who needs to look at it.
Three things set it: how far the rot runs once the board is open, how high the work is, and what the association's finish asks for. A sill is priced from a photo; a patio cover is priced after a look. Either way you have the number in writing before anything is scheduled, and if the wood runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further.
Not if the wood is soft. Filler over rot holds paint for a season while the rot keeps going behind it, and the association will watch the repair fail. We cut back to sound wood, splice in new, prime every face and paint to the scheme, so the repair is the last one at that spot.
Not for painting and similar finish work, which the city lists as exempt, and a like-for-like fascia board or sill is on that line. Irvine reads the rule tightly for anything structural: a patio cover needs a permit at any size, and so does a rebuild into rafter tails or framing. We ask the Permit Processing Center before a job like that.
Send it over with a photo. If the inspection flagged soft boards, a rotted railing post or damaged trim, that is our work, and we put the scope in writing for the committee. A rotted ledger or a structural member goes to the engineer first, and we tell you that on the call.
