Historic Wood Repair & Trim Restoration in Little Rock, AR

Brush & Pride Painting provides expert historic wood repair and trim restoration for homes throughout Little Rock and Central Arkansas, specializing in the preservation of original architectural details. From deteriorated exterior trim to interior millwork that can’t be replaced off the shelf, we restore historic wood elements with care, accuracy, and respect for the home’s original character.

Our work is designed for homeowners who value craftsmanship, preservation, and long-term durability — not shortcuts or cosmetic fixes.

Preserving Original Woodwork, Not Replacing It

Historic homes were built with materials, profiles, and craftsmanship that are difficult — and often impossible — to replicate using modern stock trim. When original wood deteriorates due to age, moisture, or previous repairs, replacement isn’t always the right solution.

Our historic wood repair services focus on:

• Stabilizing and repairing existing wood

• Preserving original profiles and proportions

• Matching historic details and craftsmanship

• Extending the life of original architectural elements

Whenever possible, we repair and restore rather than remove and replace.

Historic Trim Restoration & Replication

We provide professional trim restoration for both interior and exterior historic wood elements, including:

• Fascia and soffits

• Window and door casings

• Crown molding and baseboards

• Decorative brackets and cornices

• Porch columns and railings

• Custom millwork and architectural details

When portions of historic trim are beyond repair, we can replicate missing or damaged sections to match the original design as closely as possible, ensuring continuity throughout the home.

Addressing Wood Rot the Right Way

Wood rot is a common issue in older homes, particularly in Central Arkansas’ humid climate. We don’t simply cover damaged areas with filler or paint over deterioration.

Our wood repair process includes:

• Identifying the cause of moisture intrusion

• Removing compromised wood where necessary

• Treating surrounding areas to prevent recurrence

• Rebuilding profiles with appropriate repair methods

• Proper priming and finishing for long-term protection

This approach ensures repairs are structural, not cosmetic.
