Why Burnsville Homeowners Choose Pettis Painting for Restoration Work
Our Home Restoration Process: Step by Step
Inspection & Damage Assessment
We inspect every exterior surface: trim, fascia, soffits, window casings, door frames, siding, and structural elements. We identify areas of rot, moisture intrusion, cracking, and deterioration and develop a detailed repair plan with transparent pricing.
Removal & Substrate Repair
We remove all rotted, warped, or failing material down to solid wood. Damaged trim boards, fascia sections, soffit panels, and siding pieces are cut out and replaced with matching material. We address underlying moisture issues (failed caulk, improper flashing) that caused the damage in the first place.
Priming & Sealing
All new and repaired wood is primed with a high-adhesion exterior primer before painting. End cuts, joints, and vulnerable areas are sealed with exterior-grade caulk to prevent moisture re-entry. This step is what makes the repair last, skipping it leads to repeat failure within 2–3 years.
Painting & Protective Coating
We apply two coats of weather-rated exterior paint from Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. Color-matched to your existing scheme or updated to a new palette. The finish protects the restored surface from UV, moisture, and temperature extremes.
Final Walkthrough & Cleanup
Your crew foreman inspects every repaired area and walks the project with you. We clean up all debris, old material, and work area waste. We don’t consider the job done until every surface is solid, sealed, and finished to our standard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our home restoration service covers the repair and replacement of damaged exterior components, rotted trim, fascia, soffits, window and door casings, siding sections, and other wood elements, followed by priming and painting the restored surfaces. We combine light carpentry with professional painting so you don’t need two separate contractors.
Restoration costs depend on the extent of damage, the number of components being repaired or replaced, and the surface area being painted. Small trim repairs may start around $500–$1,500, while full-side or multi-component restorations can range from $3,000 to $10,000+. We provide a detailed written estimate during our free on-site assessment.
If you can press a screwdriver into your trim, fascia, or siding and it sinks into soft wood, you have rot. Other signs include bubbling or peeling paint that keeps coming back, visible cracking or warping, and dark discoloration around window frames or under soffits. If you see any of these signs, the substrate needs repair before painting, not just a new coat on top.
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles are the primary culprit. Water gets into cracks, gaps, and failed caulk joints, then expands when it freezes. Over time, this breaks down wood fibers. Ice dams on roofs can also force water behind fascia and soffits. Homes built in the 1970s–1990s with original wood trim are especially vulnerable.
Yes. We use matching profiles and dimensions for replacement trim and siding so repaired sections blend seamlessly with the original. Once primed and painted, the repair is virtually invisible.
We don’t process insurance claims directly, but we can provide a detailed written scope of work and estimate that you can submit to your insurance company. Many Burnsville homeowners have used our documentation to support their claims for wind, hail, or ice dam damage.
Small repairs (a few trim sections or one side of fascia) can be completed in 1–2 days. Larger multi-component projects typically take 3–7 working days depending on the extent of damage and the number of surfaces being restored and painted. We provide a clear timeline with every estimate.
We perform light carpentry as part of our painting and restoration services, including trim replacement, fascia repair, soffit patching, and small siding repairs. For major structural work (framing, load-bearing walls, full siding replacement), we’ll refer you to a licensed general contractor.
No. Painting over rot is a waste of money, the paint will fail again within a season. We remove all damaged material down to solid wood, replace it with new material, prime it, seal it, and then paint it. That’s the only way to get a lasting result.
We serve homeowners across the south metro including Lakeville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Rosemount, Eagan, Savage, Prior Lake, Mendota Heights, and Inver Grove Heights.
