Fascia, sills, door jambs, trim 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 San Diego homes and rebuilds it with sound wood: fascia and eaves, window sills, door jambs, trim, siding, deck boards and railings, primed, painted and sealed so the water stays out. Treatment is the pest company's trade; the rebuild is ours, and we coordinate the order so the wall opens once. The price is in writing before anything starts. Since 2005, from our office on World Trade Drive, La Jolla to Poway. Since 2018 our technicians have completed 7,691 repair visits on 3,488 San Diego County homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Marine layer on the coast, baking sun inland, sprinklers against the stucco and two kinds of termites: that is how San Diego wood goes soft. We open it up, cut back to sound wood, rebuild, prime and paint, and fix the drip that started it.

San Diego homes are mostly stucco over wood, and the wood shows at the edges: fascia boards, eave trim, window sills, door jambs and deck framing. The marine layer keeps the coast damp through June, the inland sun splits the paint and the caulk, the winter rain finds the gap, and sprinklers hit the same spot every morning. Rot is a water problem wearing a wood costume, so every rebuild comes with the drip fixed.
Dry rot is a fungus and leaves wood dark, cubed and crumbly. Drywood termites, the common San Diego kind, live inside the wood and push out hard pellets through tiny holes, swarming in late summer and fall. Subterranean termites come up from the soil in mud tubes where stucco or a post meets the ground. You do not have to know which: we tell you, and if a colony needs treating, a licensed pest company treats before we rebuild.
No. Paint over rot spreads it behind the paint, and a filler patch in a sill lasts one winter. We cut back to sound wood, splice or replace, prime on all sides and paint to match, so the repair reads as original and the water has no way back in.
Keep gutters flowing and the downspouts clear, keep sprinkler heads turned away from the house, keep soil and mulch below the stucco weep screed, and keep paint and caulk unbroken on the sunny sides. A tube of caulk this fall beats a fascia rebuild in three years.
The marine layer sits on these streets most mornings until June, and the ocean-facing sills, sashes and trim never fully dry. Fascia rots behind gutters that drain toward the house, and door jambs go soft at the bottom where the fog and the hose both reach. The fix is a sill or a jamb bottom rebuilt to shed water, the caulk line redone and the paint carried over the joint.
The sun does the damage first. Paint and caulk on the south and west sides split after a few summers, the winter rain gets behind the fascia and the eave trim, and the sprinklers keep the base of a post or a corner board wet all year. Drywood termites favor the dry eaves and fascia on these 1970s to 1990s tract homes. We rebuild the boards, match the HOA color and fix the water path.
Wood siding, wood-framed windows and redwood trim from the 1920s to the 1960s, often with soil built up against the siding. Subterranean termites travel where the stucco or the siding meets the ground, and the Formosan termite has been found in La Mesa. Here the work is splicing new wood into old trim, replacing the bottom courses of siding and getting the soil back below the wood line.
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.
The City of San Diego exempts maintenance repairs under a set cost that replace like for like, which covers a fascia board, a sill, a jamb or a run of trim. 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). We tell you which on the call, and the other cities in the county have their own rules.
In California the termite report comes from a licensed structural pest control company, which inspects, treats and issues the report. Section 1 lists active infestation and the damage it caused; Section 2 lists conditions likely to lead to it. We repair the wood damage the report lists, fascia to door frames, and the pest company reinspects and certifies. Send us the report and we price from it.
In Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Valley and 4S Ranch a rot repair painted to match the scheme rarely needs a form; a new color or a changed trim profile sometimes does, and we put the materials and finish in writing for it. Condo associations now carry California's balcony inspection law: if the report flagged rot in a railing, a deck board or a post base, that is our lane, and a rotted ledger goes to the engineer first.

Call 858-330-5590We answer in under three rings, price most fascia, sill, trim and jamb repairs on the call, and usually schedule within days. A bigger rebuild gets a look first, then a written scope and price, so the job is sized before anyone opens a wall.
Yes. Once a licensed pest company has treated the colony, we cut out what the termites ate and rebuild it: fascia, eave trim, sills, jambs, siding and the framing we can reach. Treatment, fumigation and the inspection report are the pest company's trade; the rebuild is ours, and we coordinate the order with them.
Yes. Fascia, sills, trim, jambs, siding and deck boards are exactly handyman carpentry. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rafter tail or a splice into framing is not a problem either. If the rot has reached a beam or a ledger, we say so and tell you who needs to look at it first.
It depends on three things: how far the rot runs once the wood is opened, where it is (a sill at ground level is not a fascia board two stories up), and the finish it has to match. Tell us what you see, or text a photo, and you get the price in writing before anything is scheduled. If the rot runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further.
No, and anyone who says yes is selling you the same repair next year. Rot keeps spreading under paint and filler. We cut back to sound wood, splice or replace, prime on all sides, caulk and paint to match.
Not for a like-for-like maintenance repair under the city's cost limit, which is most fascia, sill, trim and jamb work. A larger in-kind damage repair, or rot in rafter tails or wall framing, takes the city's no-plan building permit with a pre-construction inspection, and we tell you on the call when a job needs one.
We repair the wood-damage items the report lists, fascia to door frames to deck boards, and the pest control company treats what needs treating and reinspects. Send us the report with your address and we price the repairs from it, in writing.
