FAQs

Wood Rot Repair in Ottawa — common questions

How do I know if I have wood rot in my Ottawa home?

Soft fascia, peeling paint at the eaves, pulling-away gutters, or visible discoloration. A free probe-test at your Ottawa property gives a definitive answer.

Can wood rot spread if I don't fix it?

Yes. Ottawa freeze-thaw cycles drive water deeper into the wood, and rot will eventually reach roof decking — which is a much more expensive repair. Catching it early is the difference between a $400 fix and a $4,000 one.

Do you fix the cause or just the symptom?

Both. Every Ottawa wood rot job starts with finding the water source — overflow, missing drip edge, clogged gutters — and fixing it. Otherwise the rot just comes back.

Can you do wood rot repair without replacing all my gutters?

Often, yes — spot repairs near a corner or downspout can be done without a full tear-out at most Ottawa homes.
