Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't rotted wood just be filled with wood filler or painted over?
+
Painting over or filling active wood rot traps moisture inside the lumber, allowing wood-decay fungi to continue digesting the cellulose. Within 12 to 24 months, the paint fails, the substrate crumbles, and framing behind it rots. Full replacement down to sound wood is the only lasting, code-compliant solution.
What areas of managed properties in New England suffer the most wood rot?
+
In New England, exterior wood rot concentrates at lower window sills, chimney corner trim, gutter overflow splash zones on fascia and soffits, roof drip lines, porch stair stringers, and deck ledgers where snowpack and freeze-thaw cycles create chronic moisture traps.
Do you replace rotted wood with cedar, pine, or cellular PVC?
+
We assess sun and moisture exposure per elevation. High-moisture areas (like ground-level trim or gutter-line fascia) are often upgraded to cellular PVC or rot-proof composite. For historic or HOA-restricted properties, we source matching pre-primed Western Red Cedar or preservative-treated pine with identical architectural profiles.
How does First Boston Services quote rotten wood found mid-project?
+
We perform a thorough pre-estimate probe, but if hidden rot is discovered under layers of failed paint or behind siding, we document it with photos, calculate linear-foot or board-foot pricing based on our transparent contract schedule, and obtain approval before proceeding. No surprise bills.
