Fascia, patio cover trim, sills and door jambs cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, from an office in the neighborhood. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds rotted and termite-damaged wood on Rancho Bernardo homes from an office in Rancho Bernardo itself: fascia and eave boards, patio cover beams and trim, window sills, door jambs, siding and deck boards, cut back to sound wood, rebuilt, primed and painted to match. Treatment is the pest company's trade; the rebuild is ours, and we coordinate the order. The price is in writing before anything starts. Since 2018 that office has sent technicians on 973 repair visits to 471 Rancho Bernardo homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Fifty years of sun and sprinklers on 1960s and 1970s wood trim, and drywood termites in the patio covers: that is Rancho Bernardo rot. We cut it out, rebuild it, paint it to the HOA scheme and fix the drip that caused it. Our office is on World Trade Drive, so we are never far.

Age, sun and water. Much of Rancho Bernardo was built in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s with wood fascia, open-beam patio covers and wood-framed windows, and that wood has taken fifty summers and fifty winters. Paint fails on the sunny walls, the rain follows it into the end grain, and the sprinklers keep the sills and jambs near the ground wet. The fix is sound wood, primed on every face, and the water path closed.
Drywood termites live inside dry wood and need no soil, which is why open patio cover beams and fascia are their favorite place in Rancho Bernardo. Hard six-sided pellets under the beam are the sign. Subterranean termites come up where stucco meets the dirt. A licensed pest company treats the colony; we rebuild what it ate, and the two jobs are scheduled in the right order.
A beam end or a fascia board that is rotted through does not take a patch for long. We cut back to sound wood, splice in new material with the same profile, prime it on all sides and paint it to the association's color, so the repair passes the HOA's eye and the next inspection.
Keep the gutters flowing, aim the sprinklers away from the house, keep soil and mulch below the weep screed, and repaint the south and west walls before the paint fails. On an older Rancho Bernardo home the paint is what keeps the wood alive.
Homes from the 1960s and 1970s with wood fascia, open-beam patio covers, wood-framed windows and the original trim. Beam ends check and go soft, fascia rots behind the gutters, and sills near the ground never dry. A lot of these homes change hands, so the termite report drives the work: we repair the Section 1 items and the pest company reinspects.
Stucco homes with wood pop-out sills, eave trim and garage door jambs. The sun splits the paint on the west faces, the rain gets in behind, and drywood termites move into the eaves. We rebuild the boards, match the association's color and fix the caulk line or the drip edge that failed.
Newer homes with foam trim and less exposed wood, so the rot hides where wood is still used: deck ledgers and boards, wood-clad window sills, door jambs at the stucco line. HOA design standards are strict here, so we photograph the trim profile and match it.
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.
Rancho Bernardo is in the City of San Diego, which exempts maintenance repairs under a set cost that replace like for like: a fascia board, a sill, a jamb, a beam end. A bigger in-kind damage repair, or rot that has reached rafter tails or wall framing, goes on the city's no-plan building permit with a pre-construction inspection (Information Bulletin 203), and we tell you which on the call.
A sale in Rancho Bernardo comes with a termite report from a licensed structural pest control company: Section 1 is active infestation and the damage from it, Section 2 the conditions likely to lead to it. The pest company treats and certifies; we repair the wood on the list and they reinspect. Send us the report and we price from it, in writing.
Nearly every Rancho Bernardo home is in an association, and most do not need to approve a rot repair painted to match. A changed trim profile, a new patio cover beam or a different color sometimes needs a form, and we can give you the materials and finish in writing for it.

Yes. After the pest company treats, we cut out the eaten wood, splice or replace the beam ends, fascia and trim, prime and paint. Treatment, fumigation and the report are the pest company's; the rebuild is ours.
Fascia, sills, trim, jambs, siding, patio cover trim and deck boards are exactly the carpentry we do every day, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured. If the rot has reached a beam that carries a roof or a deck ledger, we say so first and tell you who needs to look at it.
The size of the rebuild once the wood is opened, the height and the access, and the paint or stain it has to match. Tell us what you see or text a photo, and the price is in writing before anything is scheduled.
Not for a like-for-like maintenance repair under the City of San Diego's cost limit, which is most fascia, sill, trim and jamb work. A larger in-kind damage repair, or rot in rafter tails or framing, takes the city's no-plan building permit with a pre-construction inspection, and we tell you on the call.
We repair the wood-damage items on it, fascia to door frames to patio posts, and the pest company treats what needs treating and reinspects. Send the report with the address and we price the repairs from it.
