TDI® repairs dry rot for homeowners, HOAs and property managers in Lincoln and across Placer County, replacing rotted wood back to solid material and fixing the reason it got wet in the first place. ## Dry rot repairs we handle in Lincoln - **Siding**, including wood lap, shingle, T1-11 and hardboard siding - **Fascia, rafter tails and eaves** - **Window sills, trim and door jambs**, including garage door jambs - **Decks, stairs and railings** - **Structural framing**, such as sill plates, studs and posts, when rot has reached the structure - **Repairs from pest (termite) inspection reports**, often needed before a sale closes ## Why dry rot shows up in Lincoln Lincoln is a fast-growing city in western Placer County, with a historic downtown and large neighborhoods built from the 2000s onward. In Lincoln, the long summer sun bakes south- and west-facing walls, which cracks paint and caulk and opens the joints in trim and siding. When the winter storms arrive, moisture gets into those openings and stays there. Lawn sprinklers that hit the same walls every day speed the process up, and the bottom edges of siding, door jambs, window sills and fascia boards are usually the first places rot shows up. 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 Lincoln homes in an HOA, we match existing profiles and colors and can work with the association when repairs touch shared exteriors. Sacramento Valley summers are long and hot, and winter rain comes in concentrated storms. ## 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 Lincoln home?

We offer 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive on-site in Lincoln, 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 Lincoln? 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 Lincoln that need a permit, such as structural framing repairs, go through the City of Lincoln building division, and we handle that for you. Will my homeowners insurance cover dry rot repair in Lincoln? 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 Lincoln adjuster has everything needed to process the claim. ## Dry Rot Repair response in Lincoln Most Lincoln calls see a technician on-site within 60 minutes of your call.
