Siding and Dry Rot Repair in Novato, CA
Dry rot never shows up alone. Where there is rot, there was water getting in for a while. Our siding and dry rot repair work in Novato traces the leak back to its source, removes the compromised material, and rebuilds with proper flashing so the same failure does not repeat.
Our process
We open the area far enough to see the full extent of the damage, which is almost always larger than what shows from outside. Structural framing is repaired or replaced as needed, moisture barrier and flashing are reinstalled correctly, and siding is patched or replaced to match. Paint touch-up is included on the work area.
Who this is for
Novato and Marin homeowners who noticed a soft spot near a window, a section of siding that looks discolored, or damage flagged in a home inspection. Anyone whose last contractor patched over rot without opening the wall.
Why Olympic Landscaping in Novato
Ten plus years of combined experience means we have seen where water actually gets in on Marin homes. We fix the source, not just the visible damage.
Frequently asked questions about siding & dry rot repair in Novato
How do I know if it is dry rot or just weathered wood?
Dry rot is soft and crumbles between your fingers. Weathered wood is discolored but still solid. When in doubt we do a site visit.
Will insurance cover the repair?
Sudden water damage sometimes is covered, long term rot usually is not. We give you honest documentation to submit either way.
How long does a siding repair take?
Small areas are one to two days. Larger repairs run a week or more depending on scope.
Can you match my existing siding?
Usually yes. We source matching profiles or blend the repair into a natural break line if the original is discontinued.
