Roof Rot Repair

What This Service Involves

Rot is the signature Northwest roofing problem, thriving wherever our relentless moisture reaches unprotected wood in the deck, rafters, or fascia. By the time rot shows outside, decay has usually spread through the sheathing and sometimes into the framing below. Our crews remove every soft, compromised board, treat the surrounding area, and rebuild with new, properly sealed material. We also trace the moisture path that caused the rot so a fresh repair does not decay all over again.

Benefits

Best Time of Year
