THE SHORT ANSWER

Wilton Manors is small, old and surrounded by water on three sides, and its houses rot accordingly. Kaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds the lap siding and porch posts on the 1940s and 1950s cottages around Wilton Drive, the fascia and soffits on the block ranches, the sills and door frames on the river lots in Jenada Isles and Coral Point, and the deck boards and dock steps at the water. Each piece is cut back to sound wood, rebuilt to the same profile, primed on every face and painted to match, and the gutter or sprinkler that fed it is fixed. A licensed pest company treats the termites; the carpentry after is ours, from our office five minutes down Andrews Avenue, priced in writing before anything starts.

THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX ROT

Cut Out & Rebuilt in Wilton Manors

Small lots, old frame cottages, the forks of the Middle River on three sides and a wet season that runs half the year: Wilton Manors wood never gets a dry week. We rebuild the siding, the fascia and the sills with new wood that is sealed before it goes in, and we close the gap the water used.

WARNING SIGNS

What Wilton Manors rot looks like
before it gets expensive

Call 954-787-3186
Lap siding on a cottage is soft along the bottom course.
The porch post has gone punky where it meets the slab.
Fascia behind the gutter is dark and gives when pressed.
A sill on the river side is spongy at the corners.
Pellets keep appearing on the floor under a window frame.
The pest company report for the sale lists damaged wood.

On a cottage this old, the first rot repair done right saves the next three. A Kaminskiy-certified technician prices most Wilton Manors siding, fascia and sill repairs on the first call, in writing; a porch, a dock or a bigger rebuild gets a written scope after a look.

THE WILTON MANORS ROT & TERMITE GUIDE

Know the enemy before
you call anyone

Why Wilton Manors wood rots

Age, water and a lack of air. Most of the city went up between the 1940s and the 1960s, and a lot of it is frame: lap siding, wood windows, porches, and trim that has seen eighty wet seasons. The lots are small and shaded, the river keeps the air damp, and siding that sits close to the ground wicks every rain. Add a clogged gutter on a low roof edge and the fascia and soffit stay wet for weeks. Wet wood grows fungus, and the termites follow.

Termites on the Island City

The Formosan and the Asian subterranean termite are both established in Broward, one of only two counties in the country with both; they come up from damp soil in mud tubes into siding, posts and sill plates and pack the hollowed wood with carton. The West Indian drywood termite needs no soil and lives inside the old window frames and door jambs, showing only a pinhole and a pile of six-sided pellets. A licensed pest company identifies and treats; we rebuild what they ate, after.

Siding, course by course

We replace only the courses that went soft, match the lap and the exposure, back-prime the new boards, flash the bottom and carry the paint over the joint. Porch posts are cut off above the rot and a new base let in on a standoff. Fascia is spliced with the same profile. Filler is for nail holes.

Keep it dry in Wilton Manors

Keep the mulch and the planters off the bottom course of siding. Trim the hedges back so the walls get air. Clean the gutters before May and after every storm. Point the sprinklers at the lawn. On the river lots, repaint the water side before the paint fails. And press the porch posts and the sills with a screwdriver each spring.

WILTON MANORS, ISLAND CITY

Where the house sits decides
where the rot starts

Kaminskiy has rebuilt rotted and termite-damaged wood in Wilton Manors since 2005. The river lots, the cottages around Wilton Drive and the newer blocks rot in different places.
THE RIVER LOTS

Jenada Isles, Coral Point, Belle Isle, Coral Gardens

Homes on the forks of the Middle River with damp ground, salt in the air and docks. Sills and jambs rot on the water side, dock steps and deck boards go at the ends, and the fascia behind a gutter that drains toward the house goes dark. We rebuild to shed water and seal every joint.

AROUND WILTON DRIVE

Highland Estates, Amadale, Coral Estates

The 1940s and 1950s cottages, many of them frame, with lap siding, wood windows and porches on small shaded lots. Rot runs along the bottom courses, the porch post bases and the sills; drywood termites take the frames. We splice new wood into old and match the lap and the reveal.

THE NEWER BLOCKS

Almar Estates, Sunset Manors, the streets toward Andrews Avenue

Block ranches from the 1950s and 1960s with fascia, soffits, carports and jambs on the slab, and the townhome communities with their balcony trim and stairs. We rebuild the boards, match the profile and put a scope in writing where an association wants one.

Wilton Manors is five minutes from the South Andrews Avenue office, and the Fort Lauderdale dry rot and wood rot repair page has the Broward-wide picture: the county permit rule, the termite report and the flood-zone line in plain words.

WHAT A VISIT LOOKS LIKE

One call, a written price,
then the rebuild

01Call, or text a photo

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.

02Open it up, find the edge

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.

03Rebuild, prime, paint, seal

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.

04Clean up, warranty in writing

The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every rot repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.

Not our lane, and we say so on the call: termite treatment, fumigation and inspection reports (a licensed pest company does those, and we rebuild after them), roof replacement, foundation work and structural engineering. If the rot has reached a beam or a ledger, we tell you what it needs before anyone opens a wall.
RULES WORTH KNOWING

Permits, termite reports and HOAs,
in plain words

Permits

Wilton Manors builds to the Florida Building Code as Broward adopts it, and the county amendment lets general maintenance and repairs under a set cost go ahead without a permit when the Building Official reads them that way: a run of siding, a fascia board, a sill, a porch post base. We did not find a city handout on repairs, so for a bigger job we check with the building office first. The 2026 state exemption for small single-family work is decided by the city on request, never in a flood zone, and we do not promise it. Rot in a porch beam or a rafter tail is a permit and an engineer.

The wood-destroying organism report

A Wilton Manors sale comes with a wood-destroying organism inspection report on the state form from a licensed pest control company: live organisms, the evidence of them, the visible damage, and a line saying it is not a structural report. They treat and tent. We repair the siding, sills, door frames and fascia on the damage list, and the inspector comes back when the buyer or the lender asks. Send the report with the address and the repairs come back priced.

River lots and flood zones

The streets on the forks of the Middle River sit in a flood zone, where the state small-project exemption does not apply and a repair large enough to count as a substantial improvement brings the flood rules into play; a rebuilt sill or a run of siding is not that, and we say on the call when a job might be. Most of the city has no association; the townhome communities do, and a matched repair rarely needs a form.

Can't find your answer? Call 954-787-3186 and ask us anything.

Call 954-787-3186

Our office is five minutes down Andrews Avenue. Siding, fascia, sill and jamb repairs are priced on the first call and usually scheduled within days; a porch, a dock or a whole wall of siding is looked at first, with the scope in writing before anything starts.

Yes, after a licensed pest company has treated. We cut out the eaten siding, frames, fascia and the framing we can reach, rebuild and paint. Treatment, tenting and the report are the pest company; the rebuild is Kaminskiy.

Yes. Siding, trim, sills, porch posts and fascia are carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a splice into a porch beam or a rafter tail is fine too. A beam that carries the roof is named before anyone opens a wall.

The number of courses or boards that come out, what is behind them, and whether the profile is still milled. A sill is priced on the call; a wall of siding gets a look. The price is in writing before anything is scheduled.

Usually. We match the width, the lap and the exposure of the existing boards and paint to the house. If the profile is no longer milled, we show you the closest match before we start, and we keep the sound boards in place.

Usually not for a like-for-like repair under the Broward maintenance threshold, which covers most siding, fascia, sill and jamb work. A rebuild into framing takes a permit, and on the river lots the flood zone changes what a big job needs; we tell you on the call. The 2026 state exemption is the city's decision, not ours to promise.

All of Wilton Manors from our office on South Andrews Avenue, including Jenada Isles, Coral Point, Belle Isle, Highland Estates, Amadale and Coral Estates, plus Oakland Park, Victoria Park, Lake Ridge and Poinsettia Heights. Call 954-787-3186 to confirm your address.
