Waiting until your wood trim rots away is a thing of the past.

One great feature of the Louisville area are the beautiful old homes nestled throughout the city. While charming, many older homes also come accompanied with wood exterior trim. While this was the standard of the past, with modern innovation in the home construction world wood alone is no longer the best option for home owners. Without protection, your wood trim could be susceptible to hazardous conditions over time.

Cons of unprotected wood trim can include:

• Warping: Warping happens when one side of your trim dries faster than the other, leaving your wood looking disfigured and worn.

• Molding: With weather like rain and snow comes mold. Your boards can slowly begin to rot due to weather over time and will need to be replaced.

• Re-Painting: Painted wood fades, cracks, and peels over time leaving home owners with the task of re-painting every few years to keep their home looking fresh. However, even re-painting cakes up and looks worse with time.

• Damage to your home: With all above factors considered, as your wood begins to rot, mold, and warp it also becomes more susceptible to allowing leaks into your home, pests, rodents, and more.
