Wood rot usually begins as a small area but will grow and get worse if not caught early, which will result in more costly wood repairs. Wood rot is commonly called “dry rot” but this is misleading because wood really rots when it becomes too wet. The following conditions can cause wood to rot:
Certain building materials, like Masonite (otherwise known as hardboard siding), are especially prone to deterioration. While hardboard siding is popular, due to its strength, and its low cost, as opposed to materials such as vinyl siding, it is much more susceptible to rot and deterioration over time. This is why Lifetime Painting Company opts to use non-rotting HardiePlank® materials. Although Masonite siding is a cheaper option, it is associated with many problems, such as buckling, blistering, and rotting. As a result, a class-action lawsuit was settled in the form of a homeowner relief fund to assist those who had suffered from the expensive repairs caused by Masonite.
