Today’s cedar simply won’t last another 20 years before rotting out. That is why we upgrade your roofline by installing heavy-duty, primed or painted pressure-treated wood fascia and wrapping it completely in our custom PVC wood grain trim coil. This video showcases our on-site mobile metal brake fabricating these custom protective layers—available in 40 colors with a finish so tough it won’t even stain from crushing blueberries. While we regularly use this system for custom door pans, it is vital for roofline protection. Sloppy installers often fail to tuck the coil properly up under the roof’s drip edge before mounting a gutter, trapping rain and turning the underlying wood into a hidden “box of mush.” Homeowners then unfairly blame the product when poor installation is at fault. At DBI, we engineer flawless watershed overlaps that keep your structural framing bone-dry, protecting your investment as if it were parked inside your own garage.

Defending Your Home
Against Humidity & Rainfall

The common “budget” repair method is cutting just the bottom two feet of siding off around the house and patching a 1”x4” board at the cut line. We never recommend this shortcut. Cutting into an existing wall around a home is a delicate, labor-intensive process that leaves permanent joint leak lines and ugly visual evidence of cheap rework across your home.

Instead, the DBI standard replaces entire, full structural sheets of siding from the ground up. Doing it right isn’t cheap because it demands true master carpentry to strip out old components, inspect underlying framing, and seal the back 24 inches and bottom edges before installation for decades of sub-tropical humidity protection.

We complete your investment with professional color-matching and painting. If you prefer to hire your own painter or handle it DIY, we always thoroughly back-prime and front-prime every piece of raw siding before it ever goes up on the wall, keeping your home’s structural framing totally water-sealed and protected.

Wood Rot In
Florida Homes

Wood is an incredible, versatile building material that accepts beautiful paint, stains, and varnishes. However, its ultimate subtropical Achilles’ heel is moisture-driven wood rot.

True wood rot is caused by microscopic fungal spores that constantly travel through the coastal breeze and land all over our homes. To actively destroy your framing, these spores require exactly four conditions: wood, warmth, oxygen, and moisture.

Since you cannot eliminate Florida warmth or oxygen from the air, your absolute only line of defense is completely locking out moisture. Our uncompromised DBI structural standard isolates vulnerable framing permanently using custom-fabricated PVC wood grain trim coil wraps and flawless watershed flashing interfaces, protecting your home’s bones from crumbling into mush.
