Chatham sits at the elbow of Cape Cod with open Atlantic on one side and Nantucket Sound on the other. No town on the Cape is more exposed to wind and salt, and no town cares more about how its houses look: the Old Village and downtown are subject to historic review, and the shingle-style, white-trim aesthetic is expected almost everywhere. Chatham homeowners are investing in properties they intend to keep, and they want exterior work that survives a nor'easter and still looks right from the street. Chatham is about 40 minutes from our Centerville shop.
The crisp white trim that defines Chatham houses has to hold paint in salt air. We use cellular PVC or primed cedar with stainless fasteners and back-prime every cut so the finish lasts.
Rot repair is detective work. A soft corner board, a stained ceiling on the porch or a spongy sill is the symptom; the cause is usually water getting in somewhere higher up, through a missing kick-out flashing, a failed window head, a bad gutter joint or a roof-to-wall intersection that was never flashed. We open the area, remove and replace the rotted trim, sheathing and, if needed, framing, then fix the flashing so the water goes where it should. We finish with PVC or back-primed cedar so the repaired spot is the last one to have a problem.
Problems we solve
- Rotted corner boards, sills and fascia
- Peeling paint that keeps coming back
- Gaps at window and door casings letting water in
- Soffit and fascia damaged by ice dams or animals
- Trim profiles that no longer match after past repairs
Materials we work with
- Cellular PVC trim boards and sheet stock
- Primed and back-primed cedar for historic homes
- Custom-milled profiles to match originals
- Stainless steel fasteners and PVC-compatible adhesives
- Kick-out flashing, drip caps and flashing tape

Have More Questions? Contact UsDoes Braun Construction have up-to-date licenses and insurance?
Yes, absolutely. We are a fully licensed and insured construction company in Massachusetts. This ensures total protection for you, your property, and our crew during your rot repair project.
How long will my rot repair project take?
One of our core values is strict adherence to deadlines. During your initial consultation, we will provide a precise timeline and stick to it.
Does the budget cover all costs involved?
Yes. Honesty is our trademark. We provide clear, comprehensive quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for to maximize the return on your investment.
How do I know how deep the rot goes?
You usually do not until the trim comes off. We give you a price for the visible repair and a clear per-unit price for any hidden sheathing or framing work, so there are no surprises once we open the wall.
Will the rot come back after the repair?
Not if the cause is fixed. Replacing rotted wood without correcting the flashing or drainage problem is why so many repairs fail. We fix the water path first and then use rot-proof or back-primed material for the repair.
Can you build a rot repair that will hold up to Chatham's storms?
That is exactly what we design for. Chatham is the most weather-exposed town on the Cape, so we spec materials and fastening for coastal high-wind conditions and seal every detail against wind-driven rain and salt.
