Exterior wood window shutters and trim work, door jams, soffits, and fencing – most frequently constructed of pine, redwood or cedar – are widely used to enhance the appearance of multi-family residential and commercial structures throughout North America. However, exterior wood does require routine maintenance to protect from moisture-driven and insect wood rot, in order to sustain the property’s curb appeal and value.

Wood rot is commonly caused by “wood decay fungus“. This fungus survives by digesting fibers in moist wood, causing it to rot. Wood rot causes discoloration ranging from brown to white, and is very common in North America. This is because of the high temperatures mixed with humidity that causes wood decay fungus to prosper. Especially during Spring & Summer, wood rot in can be devastating.
This is why siding, soffits, railings are especially vulnerable to wood rot. Rain and snow cause water pooling in isolated areas speeds up the process of wood rot and slowly begins to damage your home. Because water damage on wood can spread quickly, it requires immediate attention. If left untreated rotting wood could impact the structural integrity of your home.
