ⓘ Wood Rot & Exterior Carpentry Quick Answers
Jacksonville homeowners often call for exterior painting and discover soft fascia, cracked trim, swollen siding, or rotted door frames during the prep process. Paint cannot correct damaged wood. When failing material is painted without repair, moisture-related issues, swelling, peeling, and repeat maintenance can return sooner.
That’s why every A New Leaf exterior project starts with a careful walk-around to identify damaged carpentry before the first coat goes on. Visible rot gets called out in your written estimate — with specific repairs, materials, and pricing — so there are no surprises later.
We don’t paint over rot.
We repair, prime, and seal damaged wood before any finish coat.

Our Process · Wood Rot & Exterior Carpentry
Paint is only as strong as the surface underneath it. Before primer or finish coats, A New Leaf Painting inspects the exterior for damaged wood, soft fascia, failing trim, swollen siding, rotted door jambs, soffit damage, open caulk joints, and surfaces that may not hold paint properly.
When damage is found, we call it out in your written estimate with line-item pricing whenever possible. Rotten or failing wood should not be painted over — it needs to be repaired or replaced, sealed, primed, caulked, and integrated into the new exterior paint system.
One estimate. One schedule. One crew. One finished exterior.
Step One
We walk the home before painting to identify visible wood rot, failing siding, soft fascia, damaged soffits, cracked trim, door frame damage, open caulk joints, and surfaces that may not hold paint properly.
Step Two
When repairs are needed, we document the damaged areas and include repair pricing in your written exterior painting estimate whenever possible. You know what is being repaired before work begins.
Step Three
Rotten, soft, swollen, or failing exterior materials are removed carefully so the surrounding surfaces can be prepared for repair, sealing, primer, and finish paint.
Step Four
Depending on the location and exposure, we may use paint-grade lumber, cellular PVC trim, James Hardie® fiber-cement siding, HardieTrim®, T1-11 siding replacement, or other exterior-rated materials suited for Florida’s humidity, rain, UV exposure, and coastal conditions.
Step Five
Repaired areas are sealed, primed, caulked, and blended into the full exterior painting system so the finished home looks clean, uniform, and properly prepared. Every project is backed by our Iron-Clad Guarantee and final walkthrough.

Common Questions
The questions Jacksonville homeowners ask most often about wood rot repair, exterior carpentry, and what we do (and don’t do).
Yes. A New Leaf Painting repairs visible wood rot, siding damage, fascia issues, soffit problems, and other paint-related exterior carpentry as part of full exterior painting projects. Damaged wood is replaced, sealed, and primed before any finish coat is applied.
No. Rotten or soft wood should be repaired or replaced before painting. Painting over wood rot can temporarily hide the damage, but the paint usually fails early and the underlying decay continues. Repairing the damaged material first is what makes the new paint system last.
Fascia boards, soffits, exterior trim, door and window frames, garage trim, porch trim, and any areas exposed to rain, sprinkler overspray, or trapped moisture. Jacksonville’s humidity, UV exposure, and coastal air all accelerate exterior wood damage over time.
Where appropriate, yes. We use cellular PVC trim, James Hardie® fiber-cement siding and HardieTrim® boards, exterior-rated fasteners, and properly primed paint-grade lumber. The right material depends on the location and conditions — we’ll explain our recommendation in your estimate.
No. Our carpentry repairs are performed as part of full exterior painting projects. This focused scope is what allows one crew, one timeline, and one company to be accountable for the repair, prep, primer, and paint together — with line-item pricing for each repair.
No. We do not perform WDO repairs, termite treatment, or structural framing repairs. If we identify damage during your estimate that’s outside our scope, we’ll let you know so you can address it with the appropriate specialist before painting begins.
