Rot & Water Damage Repair
We find the source, stop it, remove what's damaged, and rebuild it right.
Home & Hardscape repairs rot and water damage for homeowners throughout Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan. We find the source, stop it, remove what's damaged, and rebuild it right.
Urgency
Why It Needs Immediate Attention
Wood rot spreads. What starts as a soft spot doesn't stay there — it migrates into surrounding framing and structural members. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and high humidity make rot more common here than in many parts of the country. Older Metro Detroit homes are particularly vulnerable where original caulking, flashing, and trim have aged past their useful life.
Scope
What We Repair
Exterior wood rot
Window sills, door frames, fascia, soffits, porch posts, railings, and exterior trim. All rotted material removed — not just painted over.
Window and door frame rot
One of the most common repairs in Metro Detroit. We expose the damage, remove rotted framing and sheathing, dry the area, and rebuild with proper flashing and caulking.
Sill plate and floor joist rot
Ground-level moisture, basement leaks, and crawl space conditions. Structural — addressed before it affects the floor above.
Deck rot
Boards, joists, ledger boards, and posts. Full deck structure assessed, drainage and flashing issues addressed.
Interior water damage
Ceiling and wall damage from roof, plumbing, or window leaks. Damaged drywall removed, structural damage assessed, mold treated, surface restored.
Subfloor water damage
Damaged subfloor sections replaced before new flooring goes down.
Approach
Fix the Source First
We don't patch over active water intrusion. The moisture source is identified and addressed before any repair work begins — failed caulking, improper flashing, a plumbing leak, or a grading issue. A repair built on top of an active water problem is a temporary repair.
Process
