Dry Rot Repair

What This Service Involves

Dry rot is a persistent problem in our wet marine climate, quietly weakening trim, framing, and sheathing wherever moisture lingers. We cut back to sound material, treat the area, and rebuild with rot-resistant products and proper flashing so the decay does not return. Because we trace the moisture source, the repair addresses why the rot started in the first place. Catching it early keeps a small fix from becoming a structural one.

Benefits

Removes all compromised, decayed wood; Rebuilds with rot-resistant materials; Stops the moisture source feeding the rot; Restores structural integrity; Prevents spread to adjacent framing

Our Process

1) Probe the area to map the extent of decay; 2) Remove rotted material back to sound wood; 3) Correct the moisture source and flashing; 4) Rebuild, seal, and finish the repair

What Affects the Cost

Extent and depth of the rot; Structural versus cosmetic components affected; Materials for rebuild and flashing; Accessibility of the damaged area; Correcting the underlying leak source

Best Time of Year

Drier months allow the repair area to fully dry before rebuilding and sealing.
