SIDING & EXTERIOR HOME REPAIR

Why Are Siding Repairs Are Paramount?

Siding is the first layer of defense in your home’s building envelope system. Your siding protects your moisture barrier, flashing, and other waterproofing components, like paint.

In short, it keeps the water out and protects the structural components from dry rot—designed to prolong the life of the outer layer of your home.

ROT REPAIR

Dry Rot Is A Leading Cause Of Damage In Wood Structures

We repair dry rot by isolating the source of moisture intrusion and remediating the rotted structure. With surgical precision, our dry rot repair crews safely cut out and eliminate areas affected by dry rot.

Furthermore, we have the experience and training to ensure that the water-borne fungus will never come back to harm you or your home again!

WINDOW AND DOOR REPAIR

Do your windows and doors leak when it rains?

Most Pacific Northwest window leaks happen during wind-driven rainstorms, often called atmospheric rivers or bomb cyclones and are the result of improperly installed or failed window flashing. Most leaks just need re-caulking or flashing—while others require a more comprehensive approach.

Our skilled team makes your patio or deck a natural extension of your Portland home.

Exterior Home Repair FAQs for Homeowners

“

Our project manager Alex and drywall repair person Jose did a great job repairing our leaky window and siding. The damage was more extensive than expected and Alex was honest about the situation and listened to my needs and concerns. Jose did a great job fixing the interior damage caused by replacing the window and studs and made the interior look like nothing had happened. Both were on time and professional, kept us updated on the work and were excellent to work with.

How do I know if my home needs repairs before I refinance?

Lenders usually require an appraisal to confirm your home is safe, livable, and insurable. If it reveals issues like damaged siding, roof leaks, dry rot, lead paint, or structural concerns, those must be fixed first. In that case, we can review your appraisal and explain what needs to be addressed.

Can you help with repairs listed in my appraisal or inspection report?

Yes. We work directly from your appraisal to complete only the repairs needed to qualify for your refinance. That saves time and avoids extra work.

What types of refinance-blocking issues can you repair?

We handle many of the most common issues appraisers flag, including:
Rotted or damaged siding and trim

Leaking or damaged roofing
Exterior dry rot
Lead paint hazards
Failing stairs, decks, or handrails
Moisture intrusion and structural repairs

How fast can you complete the repairs?

We prioritize refinance-related jobs because timing matters. Most repairs are done in a few days to two weeks, depending on scope and permitting.

Do you provide documentation to show repairs were completed?

Yes. We can provide photos, summaries, and receipts as needed to show repairs were completed to code.

Can I finance the repairs needed to refinance my home?

Sometimes. It depends on your lender’s guidelines. Some homeowners use short-term financing to cover urgent repairs before refinancing. However, new debt can impact loan eligibility or DTI, so check with your loan officer first. If you’d like to explore options, we work with Salal Credit Union to help qualified homeowners finance needed repairs.

Do you offer free consultations for refinance related repairs?

Yes. We offer free consultations where a qualified team member will listen to your goals and explain how we can help with the repairs needed for your refinance. This gives you a clear, affordable plan—without pressure or guesswork.

Dry Rot & Water Intrusion Repairs

“

If I could give a million stars I had some siding repairs and a few small house fixes that needed urgent attention, and these guys were ABSOLUTELY AWESOME from start to finish. They kept me informed at every step of the process and never once tried to upsell or rip me off. Their transparency and honesty were truly refreshing. The quality of their work was phenomenal, and their customer service was even better. You can tell they genuinely care about helping their customers—I felt valued the entire time. They turned a stressful situation into a seamless, stress-free experience. Highly, *highly* recommend!”

Is your siding damaged or showing
signs of dry rot? We Can Help.

Did you know that neglecting dry rot can lead to structural problems?

If a screwdriver or knife can easily penetrate your structure, you could have dry rot. We are professionals at uncovering the root cause and fixing a variety of exterior siding, wood framing, and structural issues with your home.

The rain in Oregon and Washington can penetrate the siding of your home and cause dry rot in wood studs, beams, joists, rafters, or trusses. This doesn’t mean you have to start over. It just means you need a dry rot contractor who can also perform a repair.

Did you know that neglecting siding repairs can result in dry rot?

In wet climates, it’s critical to keep all that moisture out of your home. If water can penetrate your building envelope, it can lead to other issues, such as mold and mildew, dry rot, and structural damage.

Siding defects and damages can be a direct path to moisture intrusion. Siding repairs need to be taken care of as soon as possible by a qualified, experienced siding repair contractor who understands how to execute a repair properly. Left unaddressed, damaged siding can hurt your home’s value and lead to costly inspection issues when it comes time to sell.
