Exterior Trim, Rot Repair & Drip Caps
Rot at the bottom of a door casing or a garage jamb is a flashing problem wearing a trim costume. We fix the water path first — drip cap, flashing, sill — then replace the trim in PVC or cedar so it does not come back.
Minnesota freeze-thaw finds every unflashed joint. The trim that rots first is at doors, garage jambs and the bottom corners of window casings — and painting over it buys a year at best. Our exterior trim work starts with why the water got in, then replaces what it ruined.
Each page below covers one repair. Send a photo of the damage and one wider shot showing what is above it.
