Where Rot Starts, and Where It Stops
Soffit and fascia do quiet, thankless work: they close the roofline against water, pests, and heat. When they rot, and in North Texas storms they eventually do, the damage spreads into rafters and walls fast. Sanders and Sons cuts rot back to sound wood, rebuilds the line, and finishes it so cleanly the repair vanishes into the house. Add door installs, baseboards, and finish carpentry, and this is the service that handles the whole exterior punch list, with a free itemized estimate first.
The Repairs We Handle
Exterior wood and finish carpentry, from the roofline down to the door threshold.
Soffit & Fascia Rot
Rotted sections cut out to sound material, framing checked underneath, and new boards fitted, primed, and painted to match the house.
Doors & Exterior Trim
Entry doors, French doors, and exterior trim installed square, sealed, and swinging true, the difference between a door that works and one you fight daily.
Finish Carpentry
Baseboards, casings, built-ins, and the trim details inside and out that make a house read finished. Reviews call out our carpentry for a reason.
What Repair Work Includes
Scoped per repair list. This is the typical span of work.
Rot is usually a symptom: gutters, flashing, or a sprinkler hitting the house. We point out the cause while we are up there so the new wood does not inherit the old problem.

Desmond Sanders runs every project himself: a clear, itemized estimate up front, straight answers on scope and price, and work built to the specification you signed off on. Residential or commercial, the standard is the same.
Fix the Cause, Not Just the Board
New wood over an old leak is a subscription, not a repair.
Anyone can nail up a new fascia board; the value is in knowing why the old one died. We trace the water, flag the fix, and rebuild the line so the repair holds. Exterior lists often pair with interior drywall repairs from the same leak, or grow into a larger scope we can price in the same itemized estimate.
