Picking the right contractor will be well worth all the effort you choose to put into the search as it could save you from having to re-do the project in the future.

Common Signs Of Dry Rot
Dry rot, also known as wood rot, is a serious problem that can threaten the structural integrity of your home by eating away and deteriorating the wood. While discovering dry rot you may also notice the discoloration of wood surfaces, a dank mildew smell, or areas in your floor that “give” when you walk upon it are all common indications of dry rot in your home.
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
Industry Leading Dry Rot Repair
Once dry rot has taken hold in the wood structures or surfaces of your home it tends to consume the wood in an unbridled fashion. If left untreated, dry rot will gradually deteriorate whatever wood structure it has inhabited. So if you suspect you have dry rot it’s a good idea to consult a professional and have your home inspected. The sooner you address the problem the less damage the dry rot will inflict, and the easier and more cost-effective it will be for you to have fixed.
Signs & Symptoms Of Dry Rot
Any significant or unusual change in the condition of the wood structure or surfaces in your home may indicate dry rot, especially changes in appearance, functionality, and odor. At advanced stages, dry rot is easier to detect, but in earlier phases as well as when it is in out-of-view areas, it is harder to identify.
The following is a general list of dry rot signs and symptoms:
- Wood surfaces or structures look as if they are shrinking or cracking.
- The floor has soft spots that become concave or squeak when walked on.
- Wood surfaces or structures are softer than normal or seem to be loose.
- Floors or wood surfaces are darker than usual or discolored.
- Cobweb, cotton, or mushroom-like growths appear on wood surfaces.
- There is a musty, mildew odor around areas that have wood.
