THE SHORT ANSWER

Most Dallas homes are brick, so the rot is in the wood that is left: the fascia and soffits under the roofline, the trim boards at the corners and around the windows, the garage door jambs sitting on the slab, the porch posts and the deck out back. Kaminskiy Care and Repair cuts each one back to sound wood, rebuilds it with the same profile, primes, paints and seals it, and fixes the gutter or the grade that caused it. Termites are the pest company's job; the rebuild is ours, and the price is in writing before anything starts.

THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX ROT

Cut Out & Rebuilt in Dallas

North Texas swings from a hundred degrees to an ice storm, and wood trim on a brick house takes it all: the paint checks in August, the water gets in during the spring storms, and the subterranean termites come up behind the brick. We cut it out, rebuild it, paint it to match the house and close the gap the water used.

THE DALLAS ROT & TERMITE GUIDE

Know the enemy before
you call anyone

Why Dallas wood rots

The brick lasts; the wood around it does not. Dallas fascia, soffits and trim bake through August, the paint checks, and the spring storms and the occasional ice storm push water into every open joint. At the ground, a garage door jamb or a porch post sits on the slab and wicks water every time it rains. The fix is sound wood, sealed on every face, with the water path closed.

Termites behind the brick

The eastern subterranean termite is the one Dallas homes get. It lives in the soil, builds mud tubes up the foundation and behind the brick veneer, and swarms in North Texas mostly from February into May. Texas A&M has found isolated Formosan colonies in north-central Texas tied to recycled railroad ties in landscaping. A licensed pest company treats; we rebuild the trim and framing it ate, after.

What a rebuild actually is

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. A filler patch skips every step but the last, which is why it fails.

Keep it dry in Dallas

Keep the gutters flowing and the downspouts away from the slab, get the sprinklers off the trim, keep soil and mulch below the weep holes in the brick, and repaint the sunny walls before the paint fails. Clay soil that heaves also opens joints, so recaulk the trim-to-brick line when it cracks.

DALLAS, EAST, NORTH AND SOUTH

Where the house sits decides
where the rot starts

Kaminskiy has rebuilt rotted and termite-damaged wood on Dallas homes since 2005. The old streets east of Central, the Park Cities side and the newer suburbs rot in different places.
EAST DALLAS

Lakewood, the M Streets, Swiss Avenue, Junius Heights, Lake Highlands

Tudors, craftsman bungalows and 1950s ranches with wood trim, porches, wood-framed windows and some wood siding, many of them in conservation or historic districts. Porch posts and sills go soft at the bottom, the fascia behind an old gutter stains and fails, and termites travel up behind the brick. We splice new wood into old, match the profile and keep the street face right.

PRESTON HOLLOW AND NORTH DALLAS

Preston Hollow, Bluffview, Far North Dallas, Lake Forest, the streets off Hillcrest

Brick homes from the 1960s through the 2000s with wood fascia, soffits, trim, garage door jambs and patio covers. The sun checks the paint on the south and west sides, the storms follow it in, and the garage door jamb wicks water off the slab. We rebuild the boards, match the color and fix the drip edge or the gutter end that let the water in.

OAK CLIFF AND THE SOUTH

Kessler Park, Bishop Arts, Winnetka Heights, Oak Cliff, Cedar Hill

Older frame and brick homes with wood siding, porches and long runs of trim. The bottom courses of siding rot where the sprinkler hits, porch stairs and railings go soft, and a porch beam can hide damage behind the paint. We replace the rotted runs and rebuild the stairs where they stand, and name a beam problem before anyone opens it up.

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

The Dallas Building Code (Chapter 52, Section 301(b) of the city code) lists work that needs no permit, and the city's own FAQ names adding trim, siding, rain gutters, storm windows and shutters to a building, and decks not more than 30 inches above grade. A like-for-like fascia, soffit or trim repair sits in that list; rot that has reached rafter tails or wall framing does not, and we tell you which on the call. The FAQ adds that historic, conservation and planned development districts carry additional requirements.

The WDI report

Dallas sales run on the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report, written by an inspector licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture. It records visible evidence of active or previous infestation, earlier treatment and the conditions that invite termites, and says plainly that concealed damage may not be found. The pest company treats; we repair the fascia, trim, jambs and framing on the list. Email the report and the address and the repairs come back priced.

Conservation and historic districts

Swiss Avenue, Munger Place and Junius Heights are historic districts and the M Streets and parts of Lakewood are conservation districts, where exterior changes are reviewed. A repair that puts back the same trim in the same profile is maintenance; a changed profile or material is not, and we check with the city before a bigger job. In the North Dallas associations, a repair painted to the scheme rarely needs a form.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Dallas dry rot questions,
answered

Can't find your answer? Call 469-871-8048 and ask us anything.

Call 469-871-8048

Most fascia, soffit, trim and jamb repairs are priced on the call and scheduled within days; we answer in under three rings. A porch, a deck or a run of siding gets a look first and a written scope before anything starts.

Yes. After a licensed pest company treats the colony, we cut out the eaten trim, jambs and the framing we can reach, and rebuild it. We schedule after them so the wall opens once; treatment and the report stay with the pest company.

Yes, it is the carpentry our technicians do every day: fascia, soffits, trim, jambs, siding and deck boards. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, so a rafter tail or a splice into framing is fine too. A beam or a ledger gets named first.

What we find behind the paint sets the price, so we price from a photo and confirm when the board is open. If the rot runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further, with the number in writing.

Not for adding or replacing trim, siding or gutters, or a low deck repair, which the city's own FAQ lists as no-permit work. Rot in rafter tails or framing takes a permit, and historic, conservation and planned development districts have their own requirements, which we check before a bigger job.

Usually rot: the jamb sits on concrete and wicks water every time it rains. If there are mud tubes on the brick next to it, termites are in it too, and a pest company goes first. Either way we cut the jamb back, splice in new wood on a sealed base and paint it.

All of Dallas, including Lakewood, the M Streets, Preston Hollow, Lake Highlands and Oak Cliff, plus University Park, Highland Park, Richardson, Plano, Garland, Irving and Carrollton. Call 469-871-8048 to confirm your address.
