Fascia, soffit, sills, door jambs, siding and deck boards cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, from our office on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. The price is in writing first.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair cuts out dry rot, wood rot and termite damage on West Palm Beach homes and rebuilds it with sound wood: the fascia and soffit the summer rain soaks behind a clogged gutter, the wood siding and window frames on the 1920s houses in El Cid and Flamingo Park, the door jambs that swell every August, the deck boards on the Intracoastal side. Each piece is primed on every face, painted to match and sealed, and the water path that caused it is closed. A licensed pest company handles the termites; the wood is ours. Written price before anything starts, from the office on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. Since 2023 our technicians have completed 44 repair visits on 35 West Palm Beach homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Sixty inches of rain a year, most of it June to October, air that never drops below sticky, and three kinds of termite in the sand: that is how West Palm Beach wood goes soft. We cut it back to sound wood, splice or replace, prime, paint and seal, and fix the gutter end or the sprinkler that fed it.

Water that never leaves. From June to October the afternoon storm soaks every exposed board, the humidity keeps it wet overnight, and the next storm arrives before it dries. Most houses here are block and stucco, so the wood is the fascia, the soffit, the trim, the door jambs and the deck, and those are exactly the pieces that sit in the water path. In the historic districts east of Dixie the houses are frame, with wood siding and wood windows, and there the whole wall is in play. We look at the gutter ends and the sprinkler heads first, because that is where the rot is.
West Palm Beach has the Formosan subterranean termite, which builds mud tubes up from the ground and packs its galleries with soil; the Asian subterranean termite, whose first mainland colonies north of Broward were found a few miles up the road in Riviera Beach; and the West Indian drywood termite, which lives inside dry trim and fascia and pushes hard pellets out of pinholes. A licensed pest company identifies and treats the colony. We rebuild what it ate, after the treatment, so the wall opens once.
Because the rot keeps going behind the paint, and in this climate it goes fast. We cut the board 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 match. Filler and paint skip every step but the last.
Clean the gutters before June, not after the first storm backs them up over the fascia. Turn the sprinkler heads off the stucco and the door jambs. Keep mulch and soil below the stucco line so termites have no bridge. Repaint the wood every few years, because in this humidity the paint film is the only roof the wood has.
Frame and Mediterranean Revival houses from the 1920s to the 1950s near the Intracoastal, with wood siding, wood windows, porches and exposed rafter tails. Salt air lifts the paint, the rain follows it into the end grain, and drywood termites take the old trim. We splice new wood into the old, match the profile and the reveal, and keep the work inside the historic district rules.
Block ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s with wood fascia, soffit and the original door frames. The gutters overflow, the fascia rots behind them, and the subterranean termites come up the stucco where the sprinkler keeps the grade wet. We rebuild the fascia and the soffit, replace the jamb bottoms and fix the gutter end that caused it.
Newer gated communities with stucco over block and foam trim, so the wood that rots is hidden: garage door jambs on the slab, wood-clad window frames, pergola beams and deck boards on the lake lots. Association standards apply, so we photograph the profile and the color and match both.
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.
West Palm Beach follows the Florida Building Code, which asks for a permit to repair a structure as well as to build one, and painting needs none. The county chapter the city builds under lets the building official approve an ordinary minor repair without a permit, as long as nothing cuts a structural beam or a load-bearing support. Most fascia, soffit, jamb and trim work is that kind of repair; a rebuild into rafter tails or wall framing is not. We ask the Building Division which side your job is on before we start, and we do not promise the new state exemption, which the county holds does not apply here.
A sale in West Palm Beach comes with a Wood-Destroying Organisms Inspection Report, the state form from a licensed pest control company. It lists live termites, evidence and damage, and wood-decaying fungi count too, so rot itself shows up on it. The form says in capital letters that it is not a structural damage report: someone from the building trade has to open the wood to find out how far it goes. That is us. The pest company treats and certifies; we rebuild the fascia, jambs, siding and deck boards on the list, and the inspector comes back to look.
In El Cid, Flamingo Park, Grandview Heights, Old Northwood and the other designated districts, any change to the outside of the house gets historic staff review, and bigger changes go to the Historic Preservation Board. A repair that puts back the same wood in the same profile is the easy case, and paint colors are not regulated. We give you the materials and the profile in writing for the Certificate of Appropriateness when one is needed.

Call 561-220-5884We answer in under three rings and the office is on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. A fascia board, a jamb or a sill is priced on the call and usually scheduled within days. A run of wood siding on a historic house or a deck is sized after a look, with the scope in writing before anything starts.
Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated the colony. We cut out the fascia, soffit, trim, jambs and the framing we can reach that the termites ate, and rebuild it. Treatment, the report and any fumigation stay with the pest company; the wood is ours.
Fascia, soffit, sills, jambs, siding, trim and deck boards are carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured. If the rot has reached a rafter, a beam or a deck ledger, you hear that first and we tell you who needs to look at it before anyone opens the wall.
How far the rot runs once the board is opened, how high it sits, and what it has to match: a soffit two stories up on a historic house is not a sill at the back door. Text a photo and the price comes back in writing before anything is scheduled.
Usually. We match the siding profile, the reveal, the window trim and the rafter tail shape, prime every face and paint to match. If a profile is no longer milled we show you the closest match before we start, and we put the materials in writing for the historic review.
Painting needs none. A small like-for-like repair to fascia, soffit, trim or a jamb is the kind the building official can approve without a permit; a rebuild into framing takes one. We check with the Building Division before we start rather than guess, and we do not promise the state exemption, which the county says does not apply in Palm Beach County.
