Rot repair and weatherproofing in Skagit County, WA

Where rot usually starts

Rot almost always starts where water gets past the siding and can’t dry out. The usual spots:

• Under and beside windows and doors
• Where a roof meets a wall
• Behind trim and corner boards
• At the bottom of walls, close to the ground or a deck

Fix the leak, not just the wood

Replacing rotted wood without fixing how the water got in just means doing it again in a few years. We find where the water came from, replace the rotted sheathing and framing, and then redo the house wrap and flashing around it so it stays dry.

Framers doing the repair

Since we frame houses, we can repair rotted framing, not just patch the sheathing over it. When the repair is done, we close it up with new siding and trim. If the siding is worn out too, we can replace all of it at the same time.
