Dry Rot Repair Across the SF Bay Area

Dry rot can quietly damage framing, siding, decks, stairs, and trim long before obvious problems appear on the surface. Left untreated, it weakens structural members, invites pests, and can shorten the life of exterior finishes and interior remodels.

Why Choose Fullhouse for Dry Rot Repair?

Fullhouse Remodeling & Handyman Services provides professional dry rot repair across the San Francisco Bay Area, focusing on finding the source of moisture, removing damaged material, and rebuilding affected areas so your home stays solid, safe, and better protected against future issues. Additionally, repairs are coordinated with related work such as siding replacement, deck restoration, window and door trim, and exterior painting to restore both strength and appearance.

Read real reviews from our happy clients

Detail‑focused workmanship, practical recommendations, and responsive communication are brought to every dry rot repair project. Because Bay Area homes differ in age, framing type, cladding, and exposure to fog, wind, and sun, each repair plan is tailored to the structure rather than treated as a one‑size‑fits‑all patch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a bad experience with another handyman, I was a little nervous about hiring another one. I can tell you there was no other handyman more perfect for me and my needs than Sergey. The man surprised me with the ability to replace the water damaged kitchen under cabinet base with plywood that he was able to quickly purchase and cut to fit. He was lightening fast with all other jobs as well. He did a neat and wonderful job with the following: reinstall towel holder, patch drywall, replace kitchen faucet and air gap. He didn’t have a small enough snake for my tub drain but that’s no biggie. I’ll try the drain cleaning gel. He also creatively removed some wool pieces from my window frame. I was impressed with his work and highly recommend him! Will be asking him to return to do spot painting. I guess I never posted the above review. since then Ivan has come over a couple times and is also wonderful! Talented and  knows the scope of what can and needs to be done. 10/10!!

 Verified Today I called Sergei of Fullhouse Handyman Service to get 2 items assembled.  He contacted his associate Ivan who arrived at my house about 30 minutes later.  Ivan did outstanding work, very carefully and beautifully assembling 2 complicated furniture pieces, an outdoor cat shelter and an outdoor feeding station.  I am so impressed with Ivan's work I am planning to rely on Fullhouse Handyman Service in the future and already booked another project later this week.  Both Ivan and Sergei are very pleasant and easy to work with, and highly skilled.  I give them my highest recommendation!

 Verified Sergei from Fullhouse Handyman Service did an excellent job mounting our TV on the wall. He completed the work in about an hour with great attention to detail -- the cables are completely concealed and the cover plates are cleanly installed. The result looks fantastic and professionally done. Highly recommended!

 Verified We had a great experience with a member of Sergei's team who came out to help us today. They did exactly what they said they would - hanging two shelves to our specifications-within the time frame quoted. One shelf was heavy-duty with a weight capacity of over 100 lbs, and the other was installed in a very tight space above our washer and dryer. Despite the awkward location, they hung the shelf without issue. The guy who hung out shelves arrived on time, brought his own heavy-duty ladder and tools, and was generally professional. We especially appreciated that materials were included in the original quote and that they took care of purchasing and bringing everything needed, something I was personally relieved not to have to handle, as I'm not very familiar with what kind of mounting brackets and hardware would be needed, and have had difficulty in the past locating the studs in our 100+ year old lath and plaster apartment walls. We will definitely hire Sergei's team again for future projects!

Services Built on Expertise and Reliability

Professional dry rot repair for structural framing, rim joists, sill plates, sheathing, siding, decks, stairs, trims, and other wood components across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Sill Plate & Framing Dry Rot Repair

Rotten sill plates, rim joists, and framing members around foundations or lower walls often need careful removal and rebuild. Structural wood is inspected, decayed sections are cut out, and new material is tied into sound framing so loads are properly supported again.

Siding & Sheathing Dry Rot Repair

When dry rot hides behind siding or sheathing, sections of cladding are removed to expose the damage, replace compromised wood, and restore a solid base for new siding or trim. Additionally, flashing and moisture pathways are addressed to reduce the chance of the rot returning.

Deck, Stair & Porch Dry Rot Repair

Outdoor decks, stairs, and porch landings frequently develop rot at posts, stringers, ledger boards, and handrail connections. Repairs focus on removing deteriorated lumber, reinforcing connections, and bringing the assembly back to a safe condition for everyday use.

Window, Door & Trim Dry Rot Repair

Dry rot around windows, door jambs, and exterior trim can let water into the wall cavity. Damaged casings, brickmold, and surrounding wood are replaced, and the opening is re‑flashed and sealed so the repair looks clean and performs better in wet weather.

Bathroom, Kitchen & Interior Rot Repair

Plumbing leaks and chronic moisture often cause hidden rot behind tubs, showers, and kitchen sinks. After opening up affected areas, damaged subfloor, studs, or blocking are replaced, then surfaces are rebuilt so tile, flooring, and cabinetry have a solid base again.

Moisture Source Tracking & Prevention

Lasting dry rot repairs depend on solving the moisture problem that caused the damage. The assessment may include checking grading, gutters, flashing, caulking, plumbing, and ventilation. Repair plans then incorporate practical improvements to reduce future risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dry rot and why is it serious?

Dry rot is a form of wood decay caused by fungi that thrive in damp conditions and slowly break down structural lumber. Over time, beams, joists, siding, and trim can lose strength, leading to sagging, soft spots, or even safety issues if damage is ignored.

What are common signs of dry rot in a Bay Area home?

Homeowners often notice spongy or crumbly wood, peeling or bubbled paint, unexplained musty odors, or discoloration around windows, doors, decks, and lower siding. In many cases, a flat screwdriver or awl will easily sink into affected areas, showing that the wood fibers have already been weakened.

Which parts of the house are most likely to develop dry rot?

Areas with frequent moisture or poor ventilation are most at risk, such as deck connections, stair stringers, lower siding, trim near sprinklers, bathroom and kitchen walls, and around old windows or doors. Locations where water has been leaking over time like under failed flashing, gutters, or caulking deserve special attention.

Do you only patch visible damage, or do you open walls and siding?

Surface repairs are not enough when dry rot has spread behind siding or inside walls. After an initial inspection, the scope usually includes opening targeted sections to see how far the decay goes, removing all compromised wood, and then rebuilding with sound material and improved moisture protection.

Can dry rot repairs be coordinated with siding, deck, or painting projects?

Yes, combining repairs with siding replacement, deck restoration, or exterior painting often makes sense and can reduce overall disruption. Coordinated work allows framing repairs, new cladding, and fresh finishes to be planned together so the final result looks seamless and holds up better over time.

How long does a typical dry rot repair take?

Timeframes vary based on how widespread the damage is and whether multiple areas need attention. Small, localized repairs may be completed in a day, while larger projects involving structural framing, siding sections, and finishing can extend over several days or more. During your estimate, a realistic schedule and sequence of work are outlined.
