Fascia, soffits, sills, door jambs and balcony trim cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, sealed against the salt air. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessOn a barrier island the salt air is on every board every day, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds what it takes: the fascia and soffits on the 1930s and 1940s houses in Flamingo Park and the Art Deco districts, the sills and door jambs on the block homes of Nautilus, La Gorce and Normandy Isles, the balcony trim, railing posts and stair stringers on the condo buildings from South Beach to North Beach, the dock steps and deck boards on the Venetian and Sunset Islands. Cut to sound wood, rebuilt, primed on every face, painted to match, with the joint sealed and the drip fixed. The pest company treats the termites; the rebuild is ours, priced in writing before anything starts.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Ocean on one side, the bay on the other, and salt in the air between them: Miami Beach paint fails faster than anywhere on the mainland, and the wood under it follows. We rebuild the fascia, the sills and the balcony trim with new wood that is sealed before it goes in, and we carry the paint over every joint.

Primed, Painted & SealedThe salt is working on the next board while you read this. A Kaminskiy-certified technician prices a Miami Beach fascia board, a sill or a jamb from a photo, in writing; a balcony run, a dock or an elevation in a historic district is scoped in writing after a look.

Salt first, water second. The paint film on fascia, sills and door frames chalks and cracks within a few seasons on a barrier island, and once it does the daily summer rain soaks the wood underneath. The water table is close under the sand, so posts and jamb bottoms stay damp from below. On the condo buildings the balcony trim and the stair stringers take wind-driven spray from the ocean side. The fungus in wet wood does the rest.
The Formosan subterranean termite has been established on the beach for decades, the Asian subterranean termite is established across Miami-Dade, and the two live together only here and in Broward; they come up from the sand in mud tubes and pack carton into hollowed wood. The West Indian drywood termite is the one in the old window frames and door jambs of the 1930s houses, with no soil contact and only a pinhole and a pile of six-sided pellets to show for it. A licensed pest company identifies and treats; we rebuild after.
Bare wood is what the salt gets at, so none goes in. Every new piece is primed on all faces, the end grain is sealed, the joint is caulked and the paint runs over it. Balcony trim gets a drip kerf cut under the edge so water drops off instead of wicking back; a railing post base sits on a standoff off the slab. Filler in a rotted sill fails by the next summer on the beach.
On the island the paint is the roof over the wood, so repaint the ocean-facing elevation every few years whether it looks tired or not. Recaulk the sill joints when the line opens. Rinse the salt off the water-side trim after a windy week. Check that the downspouts throw water clear of the jambs. After a storm, press the soffits and the balcony trim with a screwdriver.
The oldest streets on the island, most of them in historic districts, with 1930s and 1940s wood fascia, window frames and trim, and island lots with water all around. Rot runs along the sills, the fascia and the dock steps; drywood termites take the old frames. We rebuild in kind, match the profile and keep the certificate paperwork at staff level.
Larger waterfront and golf-course lots with block homes from the 1940s to the 1960s, pergolas, docks and long fascia runs. Beam ends check and rot, dock steps go at the ends, and the fascia behind a gutter that drains toward the house goes dark. We splice the beams, rebuild the fascia and seal every joint.
Smaller lots from the 1940s and 1950s with the ocean on one side and the bay on the other, and the condo buildings along Collins Avenue. Sills, jambs and balcony trim rot on the water side, and the taller buildings carry the state milestone inspection. We rebuild the wood the board or the inspection flags and put the scope in writing.
Miami Beach is covered from the Ponce de Leon Boulevard office across the causeway, and the Miami dry rot and wood rot repair page has the county-wide picture: the Miami-Dade permit rule, the termite report and the condo inspections 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.
Miami Beach publishes its own no-permit list under the Florida Building Code's minor-repairs clause, and it names fascia and soffit repair up to one tenth of the run, done and certified by a licensed contractor, which Kaminskiy is. Beyond that, or for a sill, a jamb or a run of trim, the city's permit counter decides, and we check before a bigger job rather than guess. The 2026 state exemption for small single-family work never applies in a flood zone, which is most of the island, so we do not promise it. Rot in a rafter tail, a header or a beam is a permit and an engineer.
When a Miami Beach house sells, a licensed pest control company writes the wood-destroying organism report on the state form: live termites or beetles, the evidence, the visible damage, and the line that it is not a structural report. They treat and tent. We rebuild the fascia, sills, door frames and dock boards on the damage list, and the inspector returns when the buyer or the lender asks. Email the report and the address and the repairs come back priced.
In Flamingo Park, the Art Deco districts and the other designated areas, a certificate of appropriateness comes before work that changes the look of the house, and minor work is handled at staff level; a rot repair that matches what is there is that kind of work, and we photograph the profile so it does. The condo buildings of three stories or more carry the state milestone inspection at 30 years, or 25 where the city chooses because of the salt water: the rotted railings, trim, soffits and stairs are our lane, the structural findings are the engineer.

Call 786-527-2055Fascia, sill, soffit and jamb repairs are priced on the first call and usually scheduled within days from our office in Coral Gables. A balcony run, a dock or a whole elevation in a historic district is looked at first, with the scope in writing before anything starts.
Yes, once a licensed pest company has treated. We cut out the eaten fascia, soffits, window and door frames, trim and the framing we can reach and rebuild it with new wood. The treatment, the tenting and the report are the pest company; the carpentry is ours.
The trim, the railing posts, the stair stringers and the soffits, yes: that is carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured. The slab, the structural members and the milestone report are the engineer, and we say so to the board in writing.
Where the wood is and how far the rot has run once it is opened. A sill at the pool door is a short job; a fascia run on the ocean side from a lift is not. Text a photo and the price is in writing before anything is scheduled.
Better than what came out, because the original was probably set bare. Ours is primed on all six faces before it is fastened, the end grain is sealed, and the paint runs over the joint instead of stopping at it. We also tell you which elevation needs repainting first.
Not for fascia and soffit repair within the city's own no-permit allowance when a licensed contractor does and certifies it. Beyond that the city decides, and we check before a bigger job. The 2026 state exemption does not apply in a flood zone, which is most of the island, so we do not count on it. A rebuild into framing takes a permit, and we tell you on the call.
