Repair and Repaint Damaged Fascia and Trim

Exterior trim repair services for Montgomery, Alabama homes affected by weather and moisture.

If you own an older home in Montgomery or a property with mature trees that create constant shade, the fascia, soffits, and exterior trim are more likely to develop rot, peeling paint, and moisture damage. These issues show up as soft spots in the wood, gaps where trim pulls away from the house, and discoloration that worsens after each storm. Exterior trim repair addresses the damage before it spreads and repaints the affected areas to match the rest of the home.

Paint My House, LLC repairs and repaints fascia, soffits, and exterior trim using materials and coatings designed for Central Alabama's humidity and heat. The service is common in older Montgomery neighborhoods where wood trim has been exposed to years of weather. Repairs are often integrated with exterior painting projects to provide a complete refresh, and the work is available throughout the surrounding region.

Request a trim inspection to identify damaged sections, review repair options, and receive an estimate based on the extent of the work.

Stopping Rot Before It Spreads Further

The crew inspects the fascia, soffits, and trim to locate soft or rotted wood, then removes and replaces damaged sections with new material that matches the original profile. In Montgomery, repairs often involve sealing gaps where water has entered and priming bare wood to prevent future moisture intrusion. Once repairs are complete, the new and existing trim are sanded, primed, and painted with exterior-grade coatings that resist heat and humidity.

After the work is finished, your home's trim looks uniform with no visible rot, peeling, or discoloration. The repairs prevent further moisture damage that could spread to the roof line or interior walls, and the new paint protects the wood from sun and rain. You'll also notice tighter seams where trim meets siding and a cleaner appearance from the ground or driveway.

The service does not include gutter repair, roof work, or replacing entire sections of siding. If your fascia damage is caused by clogged gutters or roof leaks, those issues should be resolved before trim repair begins. Once the repairs and painting are complete, the trim should hold up for several years with routine maintenance and proper drainage.

Common Concerns About Trim Damage and Repair

How do I know if my fascia or trim is rotting?
Soft spots that compress when pressed, visible cracks, peeling paint that won't adhere, and water stains near the roofline are common signs of rot. You may also notice gaps where trim has pulled away from the house or sections that look darker and weathered.

Can you repair trim without repainting the whole house?
Yes, repairs and repainting can be limited to the damaged sections as long as the rest of the trim is in good condition. The crew will match the existing color as closely as possible, though slight variations in sheen or tone may be visible depending on how old the current paint is.

How long does exterior trim repair take?
Small repairs on one or two sections usually take a day or two including drying time, while more extensive damage across multiple areas may take several days. The timeline depends on how much wood needs replacing and whether the work is combined with a full exterior repaint.

What causes exterior trim to rot in Montgomery?
High humidity, clogged gutters, and poor drainage around the foundation allow moisture to collect near the roofline and soak into unprotected wood. Shaded areas with less airflow and sun exposure take longer to dry, which accelerates rot over time.
