Getting Started and Image Assessment

After you reach out to us, we’ll have a brief conversation about the issue you're facing. To speed things up, we'll ask you to send some pictures of the problem area via text or email. This helps us understand what’s going on before we visit.

Once we’ve got an idea, we’ll set up a time to come by, usually as soon as the next day or whenever it works best for you. This approach makes sure we’re ready to tackle the problem as efficiently as possible.

On-Site Visit and Initial Evaluation

When we arrive, we’ll take a good look at the visible problems and try to figure out what’s causing the damage without tearing anything apart just yet. Since we can only see so much from the outside, our estimate comes in two parts.

The first estimate covers the damage we can see immediately. However, because dry rot often spreads deeper into the structure, a second estimate will be provided after we remove some materials and inspect for hidden issues. This approach ensures you have a complete picture of what needs to be done. You’ll also have the option to get quotes from other dry rot treatment companies if you wish. We’ll then schedule the repairs at a time that works best for you.

In-Depth Inspection and Ordering Supplies

After you approve the repairs, we’ll dive deeper into the work. On the first day, we’ll walk you through the repair plan so you know exactly what to expect. We’ll start by removing any damaged materials and properly disposing of them. During this process, we’ll check for any hidden damage that wasn’t visible before.

Once we’ve assessed the full extent of the house structural repair needed, we’ll order the necessary supplies to ensure everything is ready for installation. This step makes sure we’re fully prepared, reducing the risk of any surprises during the repair.

Repairing and Restoring Your Property

With all materials on hand, we’ll begin the structural wood rot repair. Our Dry Rot Experts will replace the damaged wood with high-quality materials designed to resist future rot. We take great care to ensure that the repairs blend seamlessly with the rest of your home, leaving it looking as good as new.

Throughout the process, we’ll keep you updated, answering any questions you might have. Our goal is to not only fix the current damage but also to prevent future issues, giving you peace of mind.

Final Walkthrough and Quality Assurance

Once we’ve completed the house frame repair or any other repair work, we’ll arrange a final walkthrough with you. During this walkthrough, we’ll review all the repairs and explain how they will help prevent future damage. We want to ensure that you’re completely satisfied with our work. We’ll also provide tips on maintaining your home to avoid future structural issues.

Before we leave, we’ll thoroughly clean up the site, so it looks like we were never there, and we’ll hand over any warranty documents for the materials and work we’ve completed. This final step is all about ensuring your confidence in the repairs.
