Repair work is very important in maintaining the structure of your property. At times home owners fumigate the home thinking it will take care of everything, but the fact is any damage present on the property will still be there until it is replaced, patched or reinforced. Common areas needed for repairs on exterior properties are: Rafter tails, fascia, barge rafters, roof sheathing, siding, etc.
We have different approaches when it comes to repair work depending on the severity and location of repair. We can do a full repair and replace of wood members or in more difficult situations, re-support wooden members.
-
Inspection: A professional inspector will assess the extent of the damage and determine the type of repair needed.

Preparation: All damaged and infested wood must be removed and the area must be cleaned to remove any traces of termites or fungus.
