Fascia, open-beam patio covers, sills and door jambs cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, painted to the association's scheme. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessMission Viejo homes lose wood to the sun and the sprinklers. Kaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds the fascia and eave trim the heat splits open on the first communities, the open-beam patio covers the drywood termites take, the sills and jambs the irrigation soaks at the stucco line, and the deck boards and railings on the hillside lots, all cut back to sound wood, primed, painted to the association's color and sealed, with the water path fixed. A licensed pest company treats the colony first; we rebuild after. The price is in writing before anything starts. Since 2023 that office has sent technicians on 132 repair visits to 74 Mission Viejo homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Fifty summers on 1970s fascia and open-beam patio covers, sprinklers at the base of every post since the community was planted, and drywood termites in the dry eaves: that is Mission Viejo rot. We open it up, cut back to sound wood, rebuild with the same profile, paint to the scheme and move the water.

Heat on the wood, water at the ground. Mission Viejo sits far enough inland that the summer sun bakes the paint off south and west-facing fascia, eave trim and patio cover beams until the end grain is open to the first winter storm. At the ground the irrigation that keeps the greenbelts green has hit the same post bases, jamb bottoms and sill corners every morning since the community was planted in the 1960s and 1970s. Rot here is a sunny-wall and a sprinkler problem, and we look at those two places first.
The open-beam patio cover is the Mission Viejo signature and the drywood termite's favorite home: dry wood, no soil needed, a lifetime inside the beam, and hard six-sided pellets dropping onto the patio from a pinhole. Subterranean termites come up in mud tubes where a post or the stucco meets the irrigated dirt. A licensed pest company identifies and treats the colony; we rebuild the beam ends, fascia and trim after, scheduled so the wood is opened once.
We cut the beam end or the fascia back until the probe stops sinking, square the cut, splice or replace with the same profile, back-prime the new piece, set it, caulk the joint and paint it to the association's approved color. A filler patch skips every step but the last, which is why it fails by the second summer.
Three habits save most Mission Viejo wood. Once a year, run the irrigation by hand and watch where it lands; any head or emitter that wets a post, a jamb or the stucco gets turned or capped. Every fall, before the storms, get the gutters flowing and the downspouts away from the slab. Every few summers, repaint the south and west faces and recaulk the sill joints while the paint is still holding, because once it checks the water is already inside.
Late-1960s and 1970s homes with wood fascia, open-beam patio covers, wood-framed windows, wood-trim gables and the original door frames, after fifty years of sun and sprinklers. Beam ends check and go soft, fascia rots behind the gutters, sills give at the corners and the garage jamb crumbles at the slab. We rebuild them, match the association's color and move the emitter that caused it.
1980s stucco homes with wood pop-out sills, eave trim, patio covers and the decks and balconies that face the lake. The sun splits the paint on the west faces, the rain follows it in, deck boards go soft at the ends and drywood termites move into the eaves. We rebuild the boards and the trim, match the scheme and fix the drip edge or the caulk line that failed.
Newer homes on slope lots with foam trim and less exposed wood, so the rot hides where wood is still used: deck ledgers and boards, railing posts, wood-clad sills and garage door jambs on the slab. Association standards are strict here, so we photograph the profile and the color and match both, and name a ledger problem before anyone opens the wall.
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.
Mission Viejo builds to the California Residential Code, which asks for no application or notice for ordinary repairs to a structure and exempts painting and similar finish work: a rebuilt fascia board, a sill, a jamb or a run of trim is that kind of repair. The code draws the line at cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support, so a patio cover beam that carries a roof, or rot that has reached the rafter tails, gets a call to Building Services and an engineer's look before anyone opens it, and we tell you that on the call.
A sale in Casta del Sol or on the lake comes with a termite report from a licensed structural pest control company, which inspects, treats and issues it. Section 1 is active infestation and the damage from it, Section 2 the conditions likely to lead to it, usually earth-to-wood contact and a sprinkler against the house. Treatment and certification stay with the pest company. The beam ends, fascia, jambs and sills on that list are our carpentry, and the company reinspects when it is done. Send the report and we price from it, in writing.
Nearly every Mission Viejo home answers to an association, and a rot repair painted to the approved color rarely needs a form; a new patio cover beam, a changed profile or a different color sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for the architectural committee. Casta del Sol and the condo and townhome communities around the lake also carry California's balcony inspection law: rot flagged in a railing, a deck board or balcony trim is our lane, and a rotted ledger goes to the engineer first.

Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated the colony. We cut the eaten beam ends and fascia back to sound wood, splice or replace with the same profile, prime and paint to the scheme. If the rot has reached the part of the beam that carries the roof, you hear that first, with who needs to look at it.
It is carpentry, and carpentry is what a Kaminskiy technician does all day: fascia, sills, jambs, trim, siding, patio cover trim, deck boards. The company is licensed, bonded and insured, which covers a rafter tail or a splice into framing as well. Where a beam carries a roof or a ledger holds a deck, that gets named before anyone opens a wall.
How much of the board has to come out, how high it is, and the finish it has to match: a sill at the slab and a patio cover beam end over a second-story deck are not the same visit. Text a photo and the price is in writing before anything is scheduled; if the rot runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further.
Not for an ordinary repair: the California Residential Code the city builds to asks for no application for ordinary repairs or finish work, and a rebuilt fascia board or sill is that. Rot that has reached 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.
Peeling paint is the symptom; the wood underneath decides. Push a screwdriver into the board where the paint has lifted. If the tip sinks in or the wood crumbles, the fascia has rotted and we rebuild it. If it stays hard, the board is sound and the job is prep and paint, which we tell you so you do not pay for a rebuild you do not need.
