Do you fix wood rot before you paint, or can I just book a paint job?

We always inspect the wood before any paint goes on. If we find rot during the walkthrough, we scope the repair and give you a written estimate that covers both the wood work and the paint. We will not apply exterior paint over failing wood because it shortens the finish life and leaves the underlying rot to spread.

What does wood rot repair cost on the CT Shoreline?

Small repairs typically run $300 to $800. Single elevation fascia repair and replacement runs $1,500 to $4,000 depending on length, access, and complexity. Multi-elevation or whole-house rotted wood repair is scoped per job after a walkthrough. We give a written estimate before any work begins.

Do you do aluminum wrap on fascia or trim boards?

No. We do not offer aluminum wrap. It covers the visible damage while the wood underneath keeps rotting. We replace the wood properly, address the moisture source, and paint the finished surface.

What towns do you serve?

We serve Madison, Branford, Guilford, Clinton, Old Saybrook, Killingworth, North Branford, East Lyme, Westbrook, Essex, Old Lyme, East Haven, and Durham. Madison, CT is our home base.

How long has your team been working on CT shoreline properties?

The team behind Timber & Brush has over 35 years of experience on Connecticut shoreline properties through our sister company White Oak Tree & Landscaping.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We operate under CT Home Improvement Contractor License HIC #0705088 and are licensed and insured on every job.

What paint products do you use?

We use Benjamin Moore Aura and Sherwin Williams Emerald, or the substrate-appropriate equivalent for your specific siding type. The product is specified by name in your written estimate.

Do you handle the full job or bring in subcontractors?

Everything is handled in-house with our own crew. We do not subcontract the carpentry to a separate carpenter or the exterior painting to a separate paint crew. Same team, start to finish, one contractor accountable for the whole job.
