Targeted Siding Repair Process

Save time and money by hiring a skilled craftsman.

Dry rot is a silent yet destructive menace that wreaks havoc on the stability and structure of your home. Untreated, dry rot can lead to extensive damage and compromise the safety of your house. Repairing dry rot can be time-consuming and expensive, but you can save time and money with the right approach. This blog post will explain our proven 3-Step Targeted Siding Repair Process and how it makes repairing dry rot as easy as ABC!

What is dry rot?

Dry rot is a fungus that attacks and feeds on wood and thrives in moist environments. It’s caused by either construction defects or by failing weather-resistant barriers, both of which allow water to seep into the underlayment materials of your home. Additional moisture is created as it consumes the wood, allowing it to feed and spread via spores. Dry rot can seriously compromise the stability and structure of a home if left unchecked, leading to extensive, costly repairs.

Choosing the right contractor for dry rot repair.

Hiring a contractor to fix dry rot problems is a standard solution. Still, it can be frustrating when the dry rot keeps returning. Contractors send out estimators to bid on projects. Estimators can’t see the underlayment of your home and often underbid projects. Once repairs begin, more damage is discovered, resulting in change orders or decreased quality of work and materials to cut costs. That’s why it’s essential to use a contractor specializing in dry rot repairs. We offer the only dry rot solution you’ll need at SFW Construction. One call, and we’ll repair it all.

Advantages of a Targeted Siding Repair Process

We save you time and money by isolating the source of moisture intrusion and repairing only the affected areas. Our carpenters take great care to install the appropriate weather-resistant barriers without sacrificing the quality of work or materials. This targeted approach means your home will return to normal soon. Our proven 3-step process makes repairing dry rot as easy as ABC.

  • First Step: Assess

    The first step of our targeted dry rot repair process is to assess your home’s damage. Unlike other companies, we dispatch two skilled carpenters for an investigation. Our expertly trained team arrives at your home equipped to perform an assessment and begin repairs. Instead of guessing the damage’s extent based on what is visible from the outside, we do an actual investigation. By removing a minimal amount of materials, our team can see the full extent of dry rot damage. This ensures we understand the full scope of work required to repair your home. That means no estimators, brokers, or 3rd parties to delay the process.

  • Second Step: Brief

    After conducting the assessment, our carpenters will brief you on their findings. Our carpenters will show you the damage they have found during their evaluation and provide a detailed repair plan. This plan will outline the steps that will be taken to repair the damage and provide an estimated timeline for repairs to be completed. Having a clear understanding of the extent of the damage and the repair plan is crucial in preventing any additional damage from occurring. This is why outstanding communication is a top priority. Our team will thoroughly explain the findings and repair plan to ensure you completely understand the situation.

  • Step 3: Correct

    The final step in our targeted repair process is to correct your home’s damage. After you approve the plan, our team will begin repairs. Our team undergoes rigorous training to ensure each repair meets the highest quality standards and exceeds industry expectations. Unlike other contractors, we don’t cut corners.
