THE MOST EXPENSIVE WORD IN HOME MAINTENANCE?
“Later.”
That little soft spot in the fascia.
That peeling trim by the window.
That corner you keep meaning to look at.
The problem with wood rot is not just that more wood can decay.
It’s that more of the house can get dragged into the repair.
A rafter tail becomes the rafter.
Fascia becomes soffit and roof-edge work.
Trim becomes siding, sheathing, flashing, and finish work.
And suddenly, you’re not paying for one bad board anymore.
You’re paying for access, demolition, reconstruction, and everything that had to come apart to reach the problem.
Sometimes a small repair really is a small repair.
That’s exactly when you want to find it.
