Fascia, trim, sills, porch posts and the wood over a damp crawl space cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, painted to match. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessAtlanta is humid, wooded and termite country, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds what that does to a house: the fascia and soffits under a roof that drips all summer, the wood trim and window sills on the brick ranches, the porch posts, columns and stair stringers on the bungalows, the siding and corner boards that the shade keeps damp, and the sills and framing the termites eat, after a licensed pest company has treated. Each piece is cut back to sound wood, primed on every face, painted and sealed, with the gutter, the grade or the crawl space vent that caused it fixed. The price is in writing before anything starts.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Fifty inches of rain, summer humidity that never breaks, tree canopy that keeps the walls in shade, and the eastern subterranean termite in every yard: Atlanta wood goes soft from the bottom up. We cut back to sound wood, rebuild, prime and paint, and fix what kept it wet.

Water and shade. Atlanta gets about fifty inches of rain a year and the humidity to keep the wood wet after it, the tree canopy keeps the north and east walls in shade, and pine straw fills the gutters until they overflow onto the fascia. Below the house, a damp crawl space keeps the sills and the bottom of the siding wet from underneath. Rot here starts at the bottom of every board and behind every gutter. The fix is sound wood, sealed on every face, and the water path closed.
The eastern subterranean termite lives in every Atlanta yard, comes up in mud tubes on the foundation and the crawl space piers, and swarms in spring. The Formosan termite, the aggressive one from the Gulf Coast, has turned up in the metro as well. Either way the licensed pest company treats the colony and writes the letter; we rebuild the sills, the trim and the framing we can reach, after.
Caulk and paint over wet, rotted wood seal the water in. We cut the board back to sound wood, replace it with the same profile, prime every face including the end grain, caulk the joint and paint it to match, so the repair sheds water instead of holding it.
Clean the pine straw out of the gutters twice a year, run the downspouts well away from the foundation, keep mulch and soil below the brick ledge or the siding line, trim the shrubs back so air moves on the shady walls, and keep the crawl space vented or sealed and dry. In Atlanta the crawl space is the first place we look.
Craftsman bungalows and Victorians from the 1890s through the 1930s with wood siding, deep porches, wood-framed windows and crawl spaces, many in historic districts. Porch columns and stair stringers rot at the base, sills stay damp over the crawl space, and termites come up the piers. We splice new wood into old, match the profile and keep the street face as the district expects.
Brick ranches and split-levels from the 1950s through the 1980s with wood fascia, soffits, trim, wood-framed windows and screened porches. The fascia behind the gutter fails first, soffit panels follow, sills check open on the sunny side, and the screened porch posts sit in the damp. We rebuild the boards, match the color and fix the gutter end or the drip edge that let the water in.
Newer homes with brick or fiber-cement fronts and wood where it still shows: fascia, trim, porch columns, deck boards and railings. Association standards apply, so we photograph the profile and the color and match both, and fix the sprinkler head, the downspout or the grade that kept the wood wet.
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.
Atlanta's Office of Buildings publishes a work-exempt sheet under city ordinance, and it exempts repair work on a single-family or duplex home under a set valuation, provided the work is otherwise lawful. Most fascia, trim, sill and porch post repairs sit under that line; a larger rebuild, or one that reaches rafter tails, a porch beam or wall framing, goes on a permit, and we tell you on the call. The sheet says the exemption does not apply to exterior work in a landmark or historic district.
A Georgia sale runs on the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report, the termite letter, which state rules say may be issued only by a pest control operator certified in wood destroying organisms. It certifies that the structure is apparently free of them as the basis for the transfer, reports visible evidence of active or previous infestation, checks the company's treatment records, and carries a ninety-day guarantee. The pest company treats and issues the letter; we rebuild the sills, trim, posts and framing the damage note points to. Send the letter with the address and we price from it.
Inman Park, Grant Park, Cabbagetown, Druid Hills and the other historic districts review exterior changes through the Urban Design Commission, and the city's valuation exemption does not apply there; a repair that puts back the same wood in the same profile is the easy case, and we check before a bigger job. On any Atlanta house with a crawl space, a rotted sill is a crawl space moisture problem first, and the vents, the vapor barrier or the drainage go into the scope with the wood.

Call 678-658-3711Call in the morning and most fascia, trim, sill and porch post repairs are priced before lunch and scheduled within days. Termite damage in a crawl space or a porch rebuild gets a look first and a written scope.
Yes. After a licensed pest company has treated the colony and written the letter, we cut out what the termites ate in the sills, trim, porch framing and the framing we can reach, and rebuild it. Treatment and the letter are theirs; the carpentry is ours.
Yes. Porch columns, posts, stair stringers, sills, siding and fascia are carpentry, and Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a splice into a porch beam is fine too. If the rot has reached the beam that carries the porch roof, we say so first and tell you who needs to look at it.
How much wood has to come out, whether it is a sill at the crawl space or fascia two stories up, and what the finish has to match. Humidity means the rot usually runs further than it looks, so we price from a photo and confirm the number in writing once the board is open.
Not for a repair under the city's valuation line on a single-family home outside a historic district, which covers most fascia, trim, sill and post work. A bigger rebuild, rot in framing, or exterior work in a landmark or historic district takes a permit and the review, and we tell you which on the call.
The pest company treats and clears the infestation; we rebuild the wood the letter points to, sills to trim to porch framing, and they reinspect if the buyer wants it. Send us the letter and the address and the repairs come back priced, in writing.
