Rotten Wood Door Repair – Frame and Panel Wood Rot Repair for South Florida estate homes. Over the years we have encountered several large homes that have numerous double and single French doors. Some of these doors are under large patio roof coverings, and some are exposed to the elements with virtually no roof coverings at all. The doors that are in these exposed areas of the home suffer the full brunt of South Florida’s wet and humid climate. In normal circumstances, if wood and aluminum clad wood doors are serviced and maintained twice a year, they can last 30 plus years.
Not all homeowners are aware that wood doors need to be maintained and adjusted over the years. Just one annual service visit a year can help identify potential problems early before it eventually turns into a rotten wood door repair project. The (3) things that we look for when we do a routine service appointment are:
- Signs of water infiltration
- Firm contact on all weather stripping
- Proper drainage and evacuation at weep systems
- Proper adjustments of door panels
- Frame jambs for wood rot
- Sill threshold wood for water saturation
- Rusted anchors showing signs of standing water
When we find wood rot on the frame or the panel, we then decide the way to repair the affected area. sometimes if the rotted wood has not affected the structural integrity of the door panel. we then remove all the rotten wood and fill with a resin based wood filler. Once the rotten area has been filled, we then sand it smooth and apply a premium primer to seal it.
