Wood Rot and Siding Repairs in Jacksonville FL

Here in Northeast Florida, just like clock work, certain times each year we get plenty of rain, which pose a problem with rotted wood. Jacksonville Florida is notorious for lots of moisture and can be the main cause of wood rot and wood damage. In the long hot months, exterior wood tends to dry out, crack, split and twist. One great solution to this issue is to use PVC trim, commonly referred to by the popular manufacturer’s name, Azek.

Azek trim has a number of innate characteristics that can make it a great choice for replacing natural wood.Most importantly, it will not split, rot or crack. Very long pieces of PVC/ Azek trim have been known to warp in prolonged sun exposure, but so does wood, and correct installation can minimize this risk.

Another advantage to PVC trim isthat it is impervious to water and insect penetration, and is naturally resistant to mold and mildew growth. Of course, Azek comes in dozens of common dimensions and can be shaped with normal tools just like wood. This means that no matter the wood features of your home exterior, PVC trim can probably be formed to take its place.

Some homeowners choose to replace allof their exterior trim with PVC at one time, including window trim, fascia and door edging. For others, however, this can be an expensive proposition. A good middle-ground is to replace just a few pieces at a time, as needed. This allows you to restore the appearance and protection of your home gradually.

For those who enjoy the natural beauty in the grain and knot patterns in natural wood, PVC trim lacks a certain charm. The goal of trim, however, should not be to draw the eye to an individual piece of wood, but rather for that piece of wood to contribute to the outlines and design of the home. For this, Azek works just as good as; it's possibly better than, natural wood.
