Fascia, sills, door jambs, siding, deck boards and termite damage cut out, rebuilt with sound wood and painted to match. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair cuts out dry rot, wood rot and termite damage on Orange County homes and rebuilds it with sound wood: the salt-air sills and siding in the beach cities, the sun-split fascia and open-beam patio covers on the 1960s and 1970s tracts inland, the irrigation-soaked sills and jambs in the Irvine villages, the decks and railings on the south county hills. Primed on every face, painted to match, sealed, with the water path fixed. A licensed pest company treats; we rebuild after, and we coordinate the order so the wood is opened once. The price is in writing before anything starts, from our office on Michelson Drive in Irvine. Since 2022 our technicians have completed 1,216 repair visits on 793 Orange County homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Orange County rots three ways: salt and fog on the coast, fifty years of sun and sprinklers on the inland tracts, builder details and ocean wind on the newer hills. One crew handles all three from Irvine, cutting back to sound wood, rebuilding with the same profile, priming every face and fixing what let the water in.

It depends where the house sits. In Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point the salt air strips the paint film and the fog keeps the ocean-facing wood damp until noon. In Orange, Tustin, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa the houses are from the 1960s and 1970s, the fascia and the patio covers are original, and the sprinklers have hit the same spots for fifty years. In Irvine, Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel and the south county villages it is daily irrigation at the ground and builder details higher up. We start on the wall that faces the weather in that city.
Drywood termites are the county's main one: they live inside dry fascia, trim and patio cover beams, need no soil, and leave hard six-sided pellets under a pinhole, flying on warm afternoons in late summer and fall. Subterranean termites come up in mud tubes from irrigated soil wherever stucco, siding or a post meets the dirt. On the coast, wood that stays wet can draw dampwood termites. A licensed pest company identifies and treats; we rebuild what was eaten, after them.
Every rot repair we do is the same five steps: cut back until the probe stops sinking, splice or replace with the same profile, back-prime every face, caulk the joint, paint or finish to match. A filler patch does the last step only and fails by the next winter, on the coast by the next fog.
Move the sprinkler heads and emitters off the house. Clear the gutters before the first fall storm. Recaulk the sill-to-stucco joints when the line opens and repaint the exposed wall before the paint fails, not after. Keep soil and mulch below the weep screed or the bottom course of siding. On the coast, do all of it a year sooner.
Beach cottages with wood siding, sashes and redwood trim, bay-front homes with decks at the water's edge, and newer stucco homes with wood-clad sills facing the ocean. Salt air and fog keep the water-facing wall damp, so sills, sashes and the bottom courses of siding go first, then the deck boards and railing posts. We rebuild them to shed water, match the profile and seal every joint.
Homes from the 1950s to the 1970s with wood fascia, open-beam patio covers, wood-framed windows and the original door frames, watered by sprinklers for fifty years. Beam ends check and go soft, fascia rots behind the gutters, the garage door jamb crumbles at the slab and subterranean termites come up where the lawn meets the stucco. We splice new wood into the old, match the paint and move the emitter that caused it.
Planned communities of 1970s to 2000s stucco homes with association color schemes, daily irrigation, slope lots and a lot of attached homes. Rot shows at the post bases and jamb bottoms the drip lines keep wet, the pop-out sills, the deck boards and railing posts on the view side, and the balcony trim the inspection law now puts under a flashlight. We match the approved color and put the scope in writing for the committee.
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.
Every Orange County city builds to the California Residential Code, which asks for no application or notice for ordinary repairs to a structure, exempts painting and similar finish work, and draws its line at cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support. Some cities publish their own lists on top of it: Huntington Beach names finish work and low decks as exempt, Irvine lists finish work and says most repair regulated by code needs a permit. A like-for-like fascia board, sill or run of siding is an ordinary repair everywhere in the county; a rebuild into rafter tails, a patio cover beam or a deck ledger is the one we ask that city's building counter about first.
In California the termite report comes from a licensed structural pest control company, which inspects, treats and issues it; the state's pest board licenses them. Section 1 lists active infestation and the damage it caused; Section 2 lists conditions likely to lead to it. A lot of Orange County changes hands every year, and the Section 1 carpentry, fascia to door frames to deck boards, is our work; the pest company treats, reinspects and certifies. Send the report with the address and we price from it, in writing.
From Irvine south nearly every home answers to an association, and a rot repair painted to the approved color rarely needs a form; a changed trim profile, a new beam or a different color sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for the committee. The county's condo and townhome associations carry California's balcony inspection law: rot 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 in Irvine, so most of the county is within half an hour. A fascia board, a sill or a jamb is priced on the call and usually scheduled within days; a patio cover, a deck or a whole elevation gets a look first and a written scope before anything starts.
Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated. We cut out what the termites ate in the fascia, trim, patio cover beams, siding and the framing we can reach, rebuild with sound wood and finish to match. Treatment, fumigation and the report are the pest company's trade; the rebuild is ours.
Yes. Rot repair is carpentry: fascia, sills, jambs, trim, siding, deck boards and railings. 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.
How much wood comes out once the board is open, how high and how reachable it is, and what it has to match, which in an association community means the approved scheme. 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.
No, and we will not. Paint seals the water in and the rot keeps going behind it; filler holds a season. We cut back to sound wood, rebuild, prime every face and paint to match, so the repair is the last one at that spot.
Not for an ordinary repair: every city in the county builds to the California Residential Code, which asks for no application for ordinary repairs or finish work. Rot that has reached a structural beam, a ledger or a load-bearing support is past that line, and so is a patio cover rebuild in Irvine; we ask that city's building counter before a job like that.
We repair the wood-damage items, fascia to door frames to deck boards, and the pest company treats what needs treating and reinspects. Send the report with the address and the repairs come back priced from it.
