Exterior House Painting: Why Dry Rot Repair Comes First

A beautiful exterior paint job only lasts if the surface beneath it is sound. That's why dry rot repair is one of the most important steps before any exterior house painting project.

What Is Dry Rot?

Dry rot is wood decay caused by moisture that gets trapped in siding, trim, or framing. Left unaddressed, it spreads and weakens the wood, eventually causing structural damage and ruining a fresh coat of paint.

Why Repair Before Painting

Painting over dry rot hides the problem temporarily but doesn't fix it. The damaged wood continues to deteriorate beneath the paint, leading to peeling, bubbling, and more expensive repairs later. RPainter repairs dry rot and damaged areas associated with exterior restoration and painting projects so your finish lasts.
