I made the initial inquiry via the website and was then scheduled for a phone consultation for addition information. After that I decided to go ahead with the project and am totally pleased with the result and the quality of work. The replacement fascia looks great and is better quality than the original plus it is securely fastened in place so I know it won’t be blowing away in the even of another storm.”∼ Teri H.

Common Signs Of Dry Rot
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, can seriously damage your home’s structure. It weakens wood and causes costly repairs.
You may notice discoloration on wood surfaces or smell a damp, musty odor. Additionally, floors that feel soft or “give” under pressure often signal hidden decay.
These warning signs mean dry rot fungus may already be spreading. Therefore, contacting a professional for inspection and repair protects your Portland home from further damage.
Dry rot occurs in areas that are subject to excessive moisture including, but not limited to:
- Areas of your kitchen and bathroom
- Deck floorboards, ledger, and posts
- Floor covering, subfloor, and joists
- Framing around windows and doors
- Inside posts, beams, joists, and sills
- Roof shingles, gutters, soffit, and fascia
- Walls, baseboards, stiles, and rails
What Is Dry Rot?
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, is a state of decay in previously healthy wood that is caused by an aggressive wood fungus that thrives on wet and moist wood. The state of deterioration which marks dry rot depends on the degree to which the wood fungus has invaded the wood it feeds upon. If caught early the problem may be mild, but once the wood rot has completely taken hold of the wood in your Bellevue home it becomes basically worthless, falling apart, cracking and crumbling like sawdust.
Treating Dry Rot
Because the wood fungus that causes dry rot is so destructive, it is essential to identify and remove dry rot before it does too much damage. If left untreated it will deteriorate the wood structures and surfaces in your home, causing dilapidation and decay. Dry rot can invade your home siding, joists, beams, flooring, roof and any wood structures. Having a professional Bellevue dry rot expert inspect your home for dry rot will save you lots of hassle and headache down the road, especially if we are able to catch it before it gets too advanced.
