The crew from Nelson Painting was fantastic every step of the process. They patched all the failing woodwork spots and the paint job has the house looking like new. I would have given more, but I was only able to click on 5 stars.

Rot and Wood Damage Stop Your Paint Job Before It Starts
If your painter finds soft trim, crumbling siding, or water-damaged fascia during prep, the paint will not hold. We handle the carpentry repair and the painting in one project so you are not coordinating two contractors.
For Homeowners
Soft trim, rotted window sills, peeling clapboards — wood damage does not fix itself, and painting over it just hides the problem. Our crew handles the carpentry repair AND the paint as a single project, so you get one estimate, one schedule, and one team accountable for the finished look. No coordinating between two contractors.
For Property Managers
Deferred maintenance shows fast on commercial buildings — fascia rot, storefront trim damage, soffit failures. We handle exterior carpentry repairs across office buildings, retail storefronts, and multi-unit properties. We provide insurance documentation and COI within 24 hours, and we phase work to minimize disruption to tenants and customers.
Carpentry Services Built Around Your Paint Project
Our carpentry work focuses on the wood components that need to be sound before paint goes on. We repair or replace damaged material, prime and seal every surface, then paint to match the rest of your home.
Wood rot is the most common reason homeowners need carpentry before painting. Moisture from rain, snow, ice dams, and coastal humidity works its way behind paint and into the wood beneath. Once rot takes hold, painting over it only hides the problem temporarily while the damage spreads.
Our crew probes every surface during the estimate walk-through. Soft spots, discoloration, and bubbling paint all point to rot hiding underneath. We remove the compromised wood completely, treat adjacent areas to prevent further spread, install new lumber matched to the original profile, then prime and paint for a seamless finish.
In Southeastern Massachusetts, freeze-thaw cycles accelerate rot significantly. Water enters through hairline cracks, freezes and expands overnight, then thaws and soaks deeper into the grain. A board that looks fine in summer may be soft by spring. Our estimates account for this seasonal reality.
How We Save Wood Rot Damage Most Painters Tell You to Replace
Most painters see a rotted shutter or trim board and tell you to throw it out. We rebuild. Watch how Marc saves a custom shutter rotted clean through — no replacement, no contractor referral, just careful prep and the right epoxy system. Carpentry and paint, one phone call.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Carpentry Services
Have a question about carpentry repairs, costs, or what to expect? Here are the answers to the questions homeowners ask most often.
General Questions
During the estimate walk-through, Marc probes every wood surface with an awl and inspects for telltale signs: bubbling or peeling paint, soft spots, discoloration, and areas where caulking has separated. Once the crew starts prep work, additional damage sometimes reveals itself behind paint layers. We document any newly discovered issues and discuss them with you before adding to the scope.
