Brooksville does not look like the rest of the Tampa Bay suburbs. It sits on real hills, under big oaks, and the older part of town has wood frame houses with porches, lap siding and painted columns. Those homes have the kind of trouble block houses do not: soft porch boards, split siding, and window sills that rot from the bottom up.
We repair before we paint. Rotted wood gets cut back to solid stock and replaced with matching profiles, small soft spots get hardened and filled with epoxy, and every new board gets primed on all six sides. Then we caulk, prime and paint, often in the original colors if you want the house to keep its look.
County seat on the hills
Brooksville is the county seat for Hernando, with the courthouse on Main Street and older neighborhoods around it. Shade from the oaks keeps wood damp and grows mildew and moss on the north sides of houses, so we wash gently and treat before priming.
Out past town, along US 41 and SR 50, many homes are on acreage with barns, sheds and fences. We paint those too, and we can stain or seal wood fences that have gone gray in the sun.

Questions from Brooksville homeowners
Can you match the old trim profiles on a Brooksville frame house?
In most cases, yes. Common siding, casing and porch profiles are still sold, and we can cut or stack stock pieces to get close on unusual ones. We show you the match before it goes up.
When does a rotted board need replacing instead of filling?
If the rot runs deeper than about a quarter of the board or goes through to the back, it gets replaced. Small soft spots near a surface can be hardened and filled with epoxy and painted.
Do you paint barns and sheds outside Brooksville?
Yes. We wash, scrape, repair loose boards and repaint or stain outbuildings, usually alongside the house so you save on setup.
What does wood rot repair cost on an older Brooksville home?
Small repairs on a few sills and trim boards often run $640 to $1,580. Porch floors or larger siding sections cost more. The final price comes after a free on-site look.
