Found early, cut out clean
Wood Rot Repair and Replacement
Discoloration, softened wood, musty odors, fungus or mold. Rotted boards are found, cut out and replaced, then painted to blend with the rest of the house.
Wood rot works behind the paint
Wood rot can be insidious, often lurking beneath the surface until it becomes a significant problem. A fascia board, a length of soffit or a piece of window trim can look fine from the driveway while the wood behind the finish is going soft.
On Tulsa and Broken Arrow houses the usual places are the ones that collect water: trim at the bottom of a wall, boards around windows and doors, and the horizontal run of fascia under the edge of the building. Paint over a bad board only hides it, and the problem keeps spreading underneath.
That is why the early signs matter. Rot caught while it is one board is a repair. Rot ignored for several seasons is a rebuild.

Find it, cut it out, put sound wood back
The work is plain and exact. The affected areas are identified, the rotted wood is cut out, and new wood is put in its place so the structural integrity of the building is preserved. Oklahoma Siding addresses the visible signs and the underlying issues, to prevent the same rot from coming back.
The crew is fully insured and works on both residential and commercial properties across Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Wagner County. If you are not sure what you are looking at, ask for a free estimate and have someone look at the board in person.

Repaired wood, painted to match the rest
A repair that shows is only half a repair. Oklahoma Siding also paints, so the new wood is blended into the rest of the property with exterior painting, and the wall reads as one surface again.
The shop backs its wood rot services with a 5-Year Craftsmanship Warranty, and there is a 5% discount for military and seniors. A sensible habit afterward is to look over the fascia, soffit and trim once a year, because small problems are cheap and large ones are not.

Four signs of Wood Rot.
To recognize wood rot in its early stage, look for these common signs, then call before the board is gone.
- 01
Discoloration
Boards that are darker, stained or blotchy where the rest of the wall is even.
- 02
Softened wood
Wood that gives under a screwdriver or a thumb where it should push back.
- 03
Musty odors
A damp, earthy smell near a wall, a porch ceiling or the underside of an eave.
- 04
Presence of fungus or mold
Growth on or around a board, which says moisture is staying there.
Repaired areas are painted to match, see exterior painting, and finished work is in the gallery.
