Bringing New Life to Your Wood.

Quality wood repair, restoration, and rebuild services for decks, railings, fences, fascia, and more. We restore what’s damaged and build it back stronger.

Wood Repair & Restoration Services

From small repairs to complete rebuilds, Redemption Wood Repairs restores damaged, aging, and deteriorated wood with quality craftsmanship built to last.

Our Process

  1. Free Assessment

    We get up on a ladder and actually look. Rot and termite damage spread further than what's visible, so we probe to find where it really stops — and what caused it.

  2. Clear, Transparent Quote

    A written estimate showing what's replaced, what's saved, and what it costs. If something can be repaired instead, we'll say so — even when replacing pays us more.

  3. Careful Repair Work

    We cut back to sound wood, match new material to existing, and rebuild it to last. Anything we uncover, you hear about immediately with real numbers.

  4. Walkthrough and Finish

    Everything sealed or finished to match, site cleaned up, and we walk it with you. Not complete until you've seen it and you're satisfied.

Real projects. Real results.

About the Studio

Redemption Wood Repairs was founded on a simple conviction: most wood doesn't need to be torn out. It needs someone willing to assess it honestly, cut back to what's solid, and rebuild it right.

Owner Robert Garland started the company after a calling he couldn't ignore — a word from God to step out on his own. He stood in obedience to it, and Redemption Wood Repairs is the result. The name means what it says.

We specialize in the exterior wood most contractors don't want to deal with: fascia and rafter tails baking in the San Diego sun, decks and handrails gone soft underfoot, framing eaten out by termites, fences leaning further every year.

Honest, transparent, reliable isn't a slogan — it's the business model. We tell you what actually needs replacing and what can be saved, give you a real number before we start, and show up when we say we will. A homeowner can't see up under their own eaves. That trust is the only thing we really have to offer.

Serving El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa, Lakeside, Spring Valley, Alpine, Poway, and San Diego County.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my fascia or rafter tails need replacing?

Look for paint that's peeling or bubbling, dark staining, visible cracking, or wood that looks swollen at the ends. The real test is pressing a screwdriver into the wood — if it sinks in easily, the rot is already established. From the ground, sagging gutter lines and gaps where the fascia meets the roof edge are also signs. In San Diego, sun exposure and termite activity are the two most common causes, and both spread further than what's visible from below.

Can wood rot be repaired, or does everything have to be replaced?

It depends on how far it's gone. Surface weathering and small isolated spots can often be treated and sealed. But once rot has softened the wood structurally, that section has to be cut out and replaced — filler and paint over soft wood just hides the problem while it keeps spreading. We cut back to solid material and rebuild from there, replacing only what actually needs it.

Do you repair termite damage after treatment?

Yes. Pest control companies eliminate the termites, but they don't repair what the termites ate. That's where we come in. We replace damaged fascia, rafters, framing, and trim, and rebuild it structurally sound. If you've had a termite inspection or treatment in San Diego County, we can handle the repair side.

How much does deck repair cost compared to replacement?

Repair is almost always less expensive when the framing and posts are still sound — often a fraction of a full rebuild. If the substructure is compromised, replacement becomes the better long-term investment. We assess the framing first and tell you honestly which one your deck needs. A repair that buys five years on a failing structure isn't a favor to anyone.

How long does a fascia or rafter tail repair take?

Most single-section repairs are completed in one day. Full fascia runs or multiple rafter tails typically take two to three days depending on access, height, and whether painting is included. We give you a realistic timeline in the written estimate before the work starts.

Do you offer free estimates in San Diego County?

Yes. We come out, inspect the wood in person, and provide a written estimate at no charge. We serve El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lakeside, and communities throughout San Diego County.
