Exterior repair

Rotted exterior trim repair

A rotted corner on the back of a house, where the second-floor overhang meets the soffit. We tore out the bad wood, built the corner back with new trim and painted it to match.

The problem

Water had been getting into the corner trim under the second-floor overhang. The bottom of the box had rotted out and opened up, with wiring hanging loose by the light fixture.

How we fixed it

We worked from the ladder to tear out the rotted wood back to solid framing, fitted new trim boards to rebuild the corner, closed it in, and painted it to match the rest of the house.
