Wood Rot Repair

Hidden Dangers

Your Home Wood Rot

Often, by the time wood decay becomes visible, significant damage has already taken place.

Most homeowners don’t recognize wood decay until it’s too late. You might spot it while prepping to paint a window sill, repairing trim, or working on decking. Sometimes, a contractor may discover the issue while fixing your roof or inspecting your crawlspace. The severity of damage depends on the location of the decay, but one thing is certain—wood rot lets in excess moisture, which can lead to a host of serious problems.

What Typically Triggers Roofing Emergencies?

Roofing emergencies can arise from several factors, including:

  • Strong Winds: High winds or gusts can lift or tear off shingles, leaving your roof and attic exposed.

  • Falling Trees or Branches: Trees or overhanging branches can strike the roof, causing structural damage.

  • Fire: Flames or intense heat from inside or outside your home can damage shingles and roofing materials.

  • Pests: Rodents and other animals can chew through roofing, creating holes and weak spots.

  • Normal Wear and Tear: Continuous exposure to weather, sun, and UV rays can deteriorate your roof over time.

  • Water Damage: Ice dams or pooling water can result in leaks.

  • Neglect: Poor installation or postponed maintenance increases the risk of emergencies.

  • Flashing Issues: Problems around roof penetrations like chimneys, vent stacks, or dormers can lead to serious damage.

Roof Repair FAQ

Vinyl Siding Lifespan

Quality vinyl siding can last 50–60 years, depending on installation standards. Always choose a siding contractor with extensive experience to ensure durability.

Most home siding projects are finished in one to two weeks, though timing varies based on house size and the extent of any underlying repairs needed before installation.

A standard residential roof replacement can often be completed in a single day, but this depends on the size of the home and whether it’s a full roof replacement or just a reroof.

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 15–20 years, influenced by material quality, installation, and maintenance. With proper care, some roofs may last beyond 20 years.

Leaks are the most obvious sign, but other indicators include:

  • Sagging areas on the roof

  • Missing or broken shingles

  • Growth of moss, algae, or mold

  • Damaged or missing flashing

  • Rising energy bills

  • Roof age between 15–20 years

Siding shows clear signs when it’s time for replacement:

  • Cracked, warped, or rotting panels

  • Blistering or bubbling

  • Fungus, mold, or mildew on the surface

  • Fading or discoloration

  • Increased energy costs
