Exterior & dry rot repair

Exterior repairs built for Salem's wet Willamette Valley Winters

Salem sees months of steady rain evey year, and exterior walls take the brunt of it. Water gets behind siding, around windows and doors, and under trim, then keeps the wall damp long enough for rot to set in. By the time paint peels or siding softens, the sheathing and framing underneath may already be damaged. We repair it at the source, not just the surface.

Every project starts with an on-site walkthrough, a written scope, and a firm price. We open up the damged area, find where the moisture is getting, and show you exactly what needs to be repaired.

We remove the damaged siding and sheathing, restore the framing, and rebuild the weather barrier before new siding goes back on. The wall is dry and structurally sound before it's closed up again.

Demo, repair, and haul-away of damaged material are part of the job, not an upsell. Whether it's one rotted section or a full wall, the same crew sees it through from tear-out to final walktrhrough.

COMmon Questions

Exterior & Dry rot repair FAQ

What is dry rot, and how do I know if I have it?

Dry rot is wood decay caused by moisture and fungus. Common signs include soft or crumbly wood, paint that bubbles or peels, siding that's warped or discolored, and trim that gives way when you press on it. Because the damage often hides behind siding, a walkthrough is the best way to know how far it goes.

How long does an exterior repair take?

It depends on how much of the wall is damaged. A small localized repair can take a few days, while larger sections or full walls take longer. You'll get a written schedule after the walkthrough.

Do you fix the cause of moisture, or just the damage?

Both. We look for the source, such as failed flashing, poor drainage, or a compromised weather barrier, and address it as part of the repair so the problem doesn't come back.

Can you match my existing siding?

Where possible, yes. We match the profile, style, and material. If your siding is too worn or discontinued to match, we'll show you options for a clean transition or a full replacement.

Do you remove of haul away the damaged material?

Yes. We tear out the rotted siding and sheathing and haul it away. Removal is part of the job, not an extra charge.

Is I&X Construction licensed for exterior repair work?

Yes. We are an Oregon-licensed, bonded, and insured contractor, CCB #253290. You can verify our license through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board.
