Exterior Trim & Repair
Restoration and weatherproofing of the exterior architectural details — window and door casings, corner boards, columns, rakes and frieze — that rot first and get ignored longest.
Trim rot is almost never a trim problem. It's a water problem showing up at the lowest point — a missing head flashing, a failed caulk joint, a gutter overflowing onto a rake board. Replacing the wood without fixing the source just buys two years.
We diagnose the water path first, correct it, then rebuild the trim in materials suited to the exposure: PVC and composite where the detail stays wet, primed wood where the profile and paint line matter.
Scope of work.
Rotten wood replacement
Casings, corner boards, frieze, rake and band boards cut and profiled to match existing.
PVC & composite upgrades
Rot-proof material in high-exposure locations that will never need replacing again.
Column & porch repair
Structural column wraps, bases, and porch trim rebuilt to carry load correctly.
Flashing corrections
Head flashing and drip edge added where the original build left it out.
Caulk, prime & paint
Full weatherproofing so the repair reads as original, not patched.
Our process.
Moisture source diagnosis
We trace where water is entering before quoting any wood.
Scope & material choice
Match profiles, decide wood vs. PVC by exposure, and confirm paint approach.
Repair & flash
Rot removed back to sound framing, flashing corrected, new trim installed.
Finish
Prime all six sides, caulk correctly, and top-coat for a durable finish.
Common questions.
Can you match my existing trim profile?
Yes. We match profiles and reveals so a repair blends into the elevation rather than announcing itself.
Is PVC trim worth the upcharge?
In persistently wet locations — bottoms of columns, rake ends, garage door jambs — it pays for itself the first time you don't repeat the repair.
Do you handle trim repair as part of a roof job?
Frequently. Fascia, rake, and drip edge work is often best done while the roof is open, and it's one contractor and one warranty.

Dimensional asphalt shingles are the workhorse of Georgia roofing — heavier, thicker, and far more wind-resistant than the old three-tab profile, with the depth and shadow lines that make a roof look intentional instead of installed.
Standing seam and metal shingle systems built to shed Georgia storms, reflect summer heat, and outlast two or three asphalt roofs on the same house.
Custom-cut aluminum gutters formed on site and pitched to move Georgia downpours away from your foundation — plus guard systems that keep pine straw and oak debris out of them.
The exterior envelope your roof depends on: cladding that sheds water, soffit that lets the attic breathe, and fascia strong enough to carry gutter through a Georgia storm season.
