Why Northwest Homeowners Choose SFW Construction
SFW Construction is an exterior home repair contractor known for high-quality siding repair work and being the first exterior home repair contractor to specialize in properly treating dry rot for home and business owners. We work at above industry standards and use only the best products on your home. We hire the most experienced carpenters and provide training so they can continuously be improving at their trade. Since opening our doors in 2005, we have serviced thousands of satisfied homeowners in the Pacific Northwest.
QUALITY
The degree of quality determines the price you pay for a home repair. Hire a second rate carpenter to fix your siding, and you’ll end up paying for that job again, and again, and again. Eventually, your home will get dry rot and structural damage behind the siding—which will cost you a lot more down the road. We provide solutions that exceed the industry standards new home builders use. Our aim is to deliver the highest quality possible solution with the best products available. In short, we don’t cut corners.
Quality defines our reputation. SFW Construction is known for its high-quality workmanship, and we’re not about risk our reputation by doing second rate work.
COMMUNICATION
Homeowner communication is a pillar of our promise to work hard and deliver exceptional customer service. When you hire SFW Construction, you are inviting us to your home, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our crews follow OHSA regulations, are safety trained, and professionally certified. But it doesn’t stop there. We communicate with you regularly to guide you through our process so you understand what’s happening with your home at all times. Understanding what you are paying for is as important as getting your problem resolved.
Transparency and customer service are essential because they both lack in the construction industry. We’re trying to change that perception.
TARGETED REPAIRS
We’ve made a name for ourselves by specializing in many targeted repairs other contractors shy away from. Hazardous and specialty work like dry rot remediation, structural remediation projects, lead paint removal are where we excel. If you choose another contractor and they run into dry rot or lead paint, they’ll likely need a specialist to remove it, or worse—they’ll just cover it up. This will put your project on hold, cause more problems down the road, and will definitely cost you more in the form of a change order.
We remove the dry rot or dispatch one of our certified lead paint specialists and continue to work. No need to call a specialist when they’re already on the job.

SIDING & EXTERIOR HOME REPAIR
Why Are Siding Repairs Are Paramount?
Siding is the first layer of defense in your home’s building envelope system. Your siding protects your moisture barrier, flashing, and other waterproofing components, like paint.
In short, it keeps the water out and protects the structural components from dry rot—designed to prolong the life of the outer layer of your home.
DRY ROT REPAIR
Dry Rot Is A Leading Cause Of Damage In Wood Structures
We provide dry rot repair services by isolating the source of moisture intrusion and remediating the rotted structure. With surgical precision, our dry rot repair crews safely cut out and eliminate areas affected by dry rot.
Furthermore, we have the experience and training to ensure that the water-borne fungus will never come back to harm you or your home again!
WINDOW AND DOOR REPAIR
Do your windows and doors leak when it rains?
Most Pacific Northwest window leaks happen during wind-driven rainstorms, often called atmospheric rivers or bomb cyclones and are the result of improperly installed or failed window flashing. Most leaks just need re-caulking or flashing—while others require a more comprehensive approach.
DECK & PATIO REPAIR
We are experts at finding problems in and around your deck and providing the correct deck repairs to restore beauty and safety.
Our skilled team makes your patio or deck a natural extension of your home.
Even if dry rot has damaged several deck joists, all is not lost. A professional deck repair can often restore the structure without needing a full replacement. Therefore, timely repairs protect your investment and prevent further deterioration.
