This porch column repair addressed rot and splitting at the base, the most common failure point on exterior columns exposed to snow and rain runoff.
Why the base fails first
Water pools at the base of a column longer than anywhere else, which is exactly where this one had rotted and split apart. We rebuilt the base with moisture-resistant materials and a clean trim profile, then primed and painted to match.
A repair like this protects the structural post above it from the same fate. Left alone, base rot eventually spreads upward into the full column. If your porch columns show splitting or soft wood at the bottom, get a free quote before it worsens.
