Structural repair

The Sign…..                                        ...of what might lurk beneath the paint...

The work…..                                        ...and the final results… good as new!

    I know, it’s not very glamorous and doesn’t result in an OOH.. AHHH… picture at the end, but repairing rotted wood is a job we seem to do quite a bit of.  Unfortunately, what might have been a fairly simple repair early on, if not noticed, can become a major undertaking.  Wood rot is insidious and loves to spread hidden from sight.  Watch for the tell-tale signs and catch it early!

The Sign… owner noticed water leaking through the soffit from this crack in the roofing…..

...and this is what was hiding…..

All’s well that ends well.  We were able to repair it, but a few more months and the rot could have gone   far enough up the rafter tails that it could have been a much more involved undertaking!!!

More of the same...

Gratouitous picture of what I call the “Spider Lift” that we’ve rented for fascia repair up high…  Just because I think it’s really cool!!!
