How much does dry rot repair cost in the East Bay?

Costs vary depending on the extent of damage, accessibility, and materials chosen. Minor repairs may start at a few hundred dollars, while extensive structural repairs can run into the thousands. Schafer Construction provides detailed estimates after a thorough inspection.

How long does dry rot repair take?

Most minor to moderate repairs can be completed in one to three days. Larger projects involving structural framing or multiple areas may take longer. We provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Can dry rot come back after repair?

Dry rot can recur if the underlying moisture source is not corrected. Our process includes identifying and fixing the cause of moisture intrusion, not just replacing damaged wood. Combined with proper ventilation, drainage, and finishing, our repairs are designed to last.

Is dry rot repair covered by homeowners insurance?

In many cases, dry rot repair is not covered by standard homeowners insurance because it's considered a maintenance issue. However, if the rot resulted from a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, some coverage may apply. Check with your insurance provider.

What materials do you use for wood replacement?

We use pressure-treated lumber, naturally rot-resistant species like redwood and cedar, and premium composites from AZEK, Trex, and TimberTech. The best choice depends on your project, budget, and aesthetic goals.

Do you offer inspections for dry rot?

Yes. We offer comprehensive inspections to identify dry rot, assess its extent, and recommend the best course of action. Contact Schafer Construction at 510-339-9100 to schedule an appointment.
