Trim that no longer fits
Loose, split or missing trim and open joints need more than another coat of paint.

Carpentry Dunwoody
Give your next coat of paint or stain a sound surface to go on. Alpharetta Painters and Stainers (Paint and Stain) offers Carpentry in Dunwoody along with residential and commercial painting, so wood repairs, trim fit and finishing can be planned as one clearly defined project.
When repairs come first
Look past the peeling paint
Paint can't fix unsound wood. Check the affected sections before you choose a finish.
Damage under the finish
Soft wood, warped siding and peeling that keeps coming back can be signs of rot or moisture problems.
Local details
Plan around the property
In established neighborhoods like Dunwoody North, leave time to inspect older trim and wood that has been coated before. Shady spots under Dunwoody's tree canopy can dry slowly, so check damp joints and drainage before any repairs or coating.
For multifamily or commercial properties near Perimeter Center, talk through access and property-manager sign-off when the project is defined.
How we approach it
Tie the repair to the finish
Assess and plan
Inspect the damaged wood and likely moisture sources, then set out repair or replacement needs in an itemized scope.
Repair and align
Match sizes and profiles as closely as practical, take out unsound material and fasten the repaired sections securely.
Prepare for finishing
Plan the sanding, the right primer and suitable caulking at joints for the paint or stain finish you agreed on.
Your estimate
What affects the price
The price depends on how far the damage goes, repair versus replacement, wood type, profile matching, working height and access. Hidden rot and the prep or finishing you choose also change the scope.
Before you send an inquiry
Help us assess the repair
Photograph the damage up close and from farther back. Put a ruler in the shot and note whether the area stays damp after rain. Don't paint over soft or rotted wood; get a professional to look at it, especially near structural connections.
