Dry Rot Repair
Gig Harbor WA

Gig Harbor's waterfront exposure and marine-layer moisture create the most aggressive dry rot conditions in Pierce County. Salt air, heavy rainfall, and coastal humidity accelerate wood rot in exterior framing, crawl space joists, and sill plates faster than any inland market.

Local Conditions: From Peacock Hill to Wollochet Bay and the waterfront along Harborview Drive, Gig Harbor properties show dry rot in locations that surprise owners — behind painted exterior trim that looks intact, inside crawl spaces that have never been inspected, and in structural framing around windows and doors that has been slowly colonized by moisture for years.

Gig Harbor Repair Scope

What We Fix in
Gig Harbor Properties

Gig Harbor's older Craftsman and mid-century homes built on sloped waterfront lots frequently have crawl space access issues that delayed maintenance. We assess access, map rot extent, and execute full structural excision and rebuild — not surface patching that fails inspection.

Dry Rot Excision & Structural Rebuild

The primary scope in Gig Harbor — full structural correction with moisture cause addressed, not surface patching that fails the next inspection.

  • Full extent mapped before pricing
  • Structural framing rebuilt to original load path
  • Moisture source corrected in scope
  • Written completion documentation

Crawl Space Sill Plate & Joist Repair

The secondary structural finding pattern in Gig Harbor homes — identified during diagnostic and incorporated into the fixed-price scope.

  • Pressure-treated material where required
  • Moisture barrier integration
  • 5-year structural guarantee
  • Lender-ready documentation

Exterior Framing & Window Structural Rot

Frequently found in combination with the primary scope — scoped and priced together for a single fixed-price repair that corrects the full condition.

  • Cause correction included in scope
  • Material spec appropriate to Gig Harbor conditions
  • Permit coordination when required
  • Timestamped photo documentation

Pre-Listing Inspection Repair

Transaction-timeline repairs for Gig Harbor buyers, sellers, and agents — written scope, fixed price, and lender documentation at completion.

  • Inspection report reviewed before scope
  • Fixed lump-sum pricing for escrow
  • Closing-date timeline commitment
  • FHA/VA lender documentation provided
