Due to its warm, natural appearance, wood remains a popular choice of material for use throughout home exteriors and interiors. However, this organic material does come with some drawbacks. Even hardwood can dent, scratch, and warp with temperature fluctuations. Exterior wood can be especially susceptible to developing wood rot.
The longer you ignore damaged wood, the more likely it becomes that you’ll have to replace it. By repairing wood elements as needed both inside and outside of your home, you can avoid having to pay costly replacement fees.
Just some of the wood repairs our dallas service professionals can do include:
- Fascia repairs
- Siding repairs
- Deck repairs
- Fence repairs
- Door repairs
- Window frame repair
- Wood floor refinishing and repair
- Crown molding repair
- And more!
The wood repair methods used by our technicians differ according to the project and type of damage. Wood fillers can often be used to fill holes and dents, but these are best for wood surfaces that are painted, or at least stained. While your service professional will do their best to match the filler to the wood color as best as they can, the repair will match the shape of the hole and therefore not follow the wood grain pattern.
If the issue is wood rot, don’t despair. Our technicians may be able to remove the damaged wood, apply a product to stop any remaining wood rot from spreading, and then fill in the hole. While we sometimes recommend a replacement for large wood rot issues, customers who live in historic homes may wish to preserve as much of the original wood as possible, making this a worthwhile repair.
In addition, we can sand down and refinish an old wooden interior floor or deck. Flooring installations and deck replacements can be fairly costly, but as long as these structures aren’t structurally unsound, our carpentry professionals can get them looking nearly brand-new again.

Maintaining Wood In Your Home’s Interior And Exterior
To keep your carpentry inside and outside of your home looking its best for years to come, it needs occasional maintenance. Interior and exterior carpentry require different types of maintenance and inspection.
Wood on your home’s interior should last for a long time without much maintenance as long as you treat it with care. Water, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations are wood’s biggest enemies, so do what you can to protect your wood fixtures from these things.
If you find evidence of water damage, treat it immediately. Keep wood away from windows, or apply a protective sealant to the wood to minimize the effects of sun damage. You can also apply a film to your windows to block some UV rays. Additionally, consider improving your home’s insulation if you find that humidity and temperature levels fluctuate frequently throughout the year.
Because exterior wood is constantly exposed to the elements, you’ll need to inspect it and provide maintenance every two to three years. To protect wooden decks, porches, fences, fascia boards, siding, window frames, and exterior doors from incurring wood rot, you’ll need to touch up their stains, paints, and sealants regularly.
If you notice any peeling paint or damage that has removed the paint or stain, make sure the wood is dry and then reapply the paint and stain immediately. Sealants should be applied every couple of years regardless of whether damage has occurred.
