About Our Wood & Framing Repair Service
A roof cannot be warrantied over compromised wood. Fasteners will not hold in delaminated plywood, and rotted fascia guarantees a failing gutter and drip-edge detail. We open, document, and photograph every area of rot before it is covered, and price all wood work at a fixed unit rate stated in the proposal.
Best For
Homes with visible fascia rot or sagging eaves; roofs with prior gutter overflow damage; older San Diego homes with skip sheathing under tile; any re-roof where decking condition is unknown.
Our Process
After tear-off we sound the full deck, mark and photograph every rot area, replace sheathing and framing members in kind or to engineered spec, then prime all exposed wood before underlayment. All structural work is permitted and inspected where required.
Warranty
Workmanship warranty on all carpentry and framing, coordinated with the roof system warranty so the assembly is covered as one unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does roof wood rot repair cost in San Diego?
Plywood sheathing replacement typically runs $95–$165 per sheet installed, fascia $12–$22 per linear foot, and rafter tail repairs $150–$400 each. All wood is quoted at fixed unit prices in the proposal.
How do I know if my roof has dry rot?
Signs include soft or spongy spots underfoot, sagging rooflines, peeling paint on fascia, gutters pulling away, and dark staining or crumbling wood at eaves. A ladder and attic inspection confirms extent.
Is wood repair included in a roof replacement estimate?
We include a decking and wood allowance in every replacement proposal and state the unit prices up front. Rot hidden beneath the old roof is billed at those same pre-agreed rates — never marked up mid-project.
Do you need a permit for roof framing repair?
Sheathing and fascia replacement generally falls under the roofing permit. Rafter, beam, and structural member replacement requires a separate structural permit and sometimes engineered details — we handle both filings.
Can you repair patio covers and overhangs during a re-roof?
Yes. Patio covers, eaves, and overhangs are reframed and re-roofed as part of the same project so flashing transitions and drainage are detailed correctly in one pass.
Do you handle termite damage in roof framing?
Yes — we replace termite-damaged rafters, fascia, and sheathing, and coordinate with your pest operator so treatment happens before new wood and underlayment go on.
How long does wood and framing repair add to a project?
Typical rot repair adds 1–2 working days to a re-roof. Larger structural rebuilds involving rafters, beams, or inspections can add 3–5 days depending on permit scheduling.
Will my new roof warranty cover areas over old wood?
Manufacturer system warranties require a sound deck, so we replace compromised wood before installation. That is what allows us to issue full 50-year system warranties on the completed assembly.
