“I contacted SFW construction about doing a partial fascia cover replacement on my roof. The entire experience was flawless from start to finish. 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
Dry Rot Explained
Dry rot is a deterioration of healthy wood caused by an aggressive wood fungus that thrives in moisture. The term ‘dry rot,’ also known as ‘wood rot,’ refers to the decayed remains of previously healthy wood after the wood fungus has invaded it and eaten away all its strength and vigor. Having dry rot in the structure of your home is like having decay in your tooth – in order to restore your West Linn home to a healthy state, all the wood rot must be removed along with the wood fungus that results in this condition. To do this effectively requires hiring a professional.
