Foothill homes in El Dorado Hills get more winter rain than the valley, plus shade from trees and slopes that keeps exterior wood damp longer. Decks, stairs, railings, siding near the ground and trim under overhanging branches are the usual trouble spots, and wildfire-area building standards can affect the replacement materials for decks and siding. Newer homes are not immune. Hardboard and engineered wood siding, trim boards and garage door jambs can swell and break down when a coating fails or a joint opens, often within the first couple of decades. For El Dorado Hills homes in an HOA, we match existing profiles and colors and can work with the association when repairs touch shared exteriors. Foothill properties see hot summers, more winter rain than the valley floor, occasional snow at higher elevations, and wildfire-area building rules for exteriors. ## How we repair dry rot 1. **Inspect and probe.** We find every soft spot, not just the obvious one, and open up the area to see how far the decay goes. 2. **Find the moisture source.** Failed caulk, missing flashing, a leaking gutter, sprinkler overspray or wood touching soil. If we don’t fix the cause, the rot comes back. 3. **Replace damaged wood.** We cut back to solid material and replace it with matching profiles, using treated or rot-resistant material where it makes sense. 4. **Seal and paint.** New wood is primed on all sides, caulked and painted to blend with the rest of the house. ## Licensed and accountable - **CSLB licensed general contractor**, License #1041773, Class B General Building - **Native American owned (Cherokee)** and a certified Minority Business Enterprise - **Building in Northern California since 1983** Found soft wood on your El Dorado Hills home?

We offer 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive on-site in El Dorado Hills, CA within about 60 minutes of your call — often sooner for active water, fire, or storm damage. What is dry rot? Dry rot is wood decay. It starts when wood stays damp long enough for decay to set in, then leaves the wood soft, cracked and crumbly, even after it dries out. It spreads through connected wood, which is why small soft spots around a window or the bottom of a door jamb are worth checking early. How do I know if I have dry rot? Common signs are paint that bubbles or peels in one spot, wood that feels soft or gives when pressed with a screwdriver, cracked or crumbling trim, gaps opening at joints, and boards that look darker or sunken. We probe suspect areas and open them up to see how far the damage goes. Do you just patch the rot or replace the wood? We replace damaged wood back to solid material. Filler can work for very small, shallow spots, but patching over active rot usually fails. We also find and fix the reason the wood stayed wet, such as failed caulk, missing flashing or sprinkler overspray, so the repair lasts. Can you complete the repairs from a pest inspection report in El Dorado Hills? Yes. We complete the carpentry repairs called out in a wood-destroying organism (termite) inspection report, including siding, trim, decking and framing, which is often needed before a home sale closes. The pest inspection itself is done by a licensed pest control company. Is TDI® licensed and insured? Yes. TDI® is a CSLB licensed general contractor (#1041773, Class B General Building), insured for residential and commercial work. Projects in El Dorado Hills that need a permit, such as structural framing repairs, go through the El Dorado County Planning and Building Department, and we handle that for you. Will my homeowners insurance cover dry rot repair in El Dorado Hills? Often, yes — most homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental damage, though coverage always depends on your specific policy and the cause of the loss. We work with all major insurance carriers, bill them directly, and document the damage with photos and moisture readings so your El Dorado Hills adjuster has everything needed to process the claim. ## Dry Rot Repair response in El Dorado Hills Most El Dorado Hills calls see a technician on-site within 60 minutes of your call.
