Wood Replacement /Repairs /Trim Doors

Wood replacement and repairs are vital before painting any exterior or interior wood surface. Neglecting these steps can lead to paint failure, further damage, and ultimately, costly repairs down the line. Installing trim around your doors can add a polished and finished look to your space, enhancing the aesthetics and highlighting the doorway. Prior to painting your home or commercial space, a licensed contractor goes over all the areas of concern and addresses what will need to be done.

  • Structural integrity: Replacing damaged wood safeguards your home or commercial space’s structural integrity, preventing expensive repairs down the line.
  • Curb appeal: Rotted wood is unsightly and lowers your property value. Replacing it before painting keeps your home or commercial space looking its best and increases its market value.
  • Long-term savings: Ignoring wood issues now will only lead to bigger problems later, costing you more time and money in the long run.

Steps Prior to Painting a Surface

1. Assessing the Damage:

  • Identify the type of wood: Different types of wood require different repair approaches. Knowing the type helps you choose the right materials and techniques.
  • Inspect the extent of damage: Look for cracks, rot, warping, and insect damage. Note the severity and location of the damage.
  • Determine the cause of the damage: Understanding the cause, like water leaks or poor ventilation, helps prevent future problems.


2. Replacing Wood:

  • When to replace: Replace severely damaged, rotted, or structurally compromised wood. Extensive cracks, warped boards, or insect infestations often warrant replacement.
  • Matching the wood: Choose replacement wood that matches the existing type, size, and profile as closely as possible for a seamless finish.
  • Proper installation: Ensure secure and proper installation of the replacement wood to prevent future problems.


3. Repairing Wood:

  • Filling cracks and holes: Use appropriate wood fillers or epoxy depending on the size and depth of the damage. Choose fillers that match the wood type and are compatible with your paint.
  • Sanding for smoothness: Sand the repaired areas and surrounding surfaces for a smooth finish. Ensure proper adhesion for the paint.
  • Treating for rot and insects: If present, address any rot or insect infestations before painting. Use appropriate fungicides and insecticides to prevent further damage.

Depending on the time of the year if the job is for the exterior of your home or commercial space weather conditions may not permit wood replacement and may need to be scheduled for better weather: Avoid repairing or painting wood in extreme temperatures or high humidity. Choose dry, moderate weather conditions for optimal results.

By following these steps and carefully assessing your wood’s condition, you can ensure successful wood replacement and repairs, ensuring a long-lasting paint job and protecting your investment.
