What does wood rot repair actually include?

Your written scope lists it line by line. As a baseline: Trim, fascia, sills and jambs probed for soft wood, and failed material cut out back to solid framing.

Do you take on small wood rot repair jobs?

Yes. Since we already run crews through Harris County, smaller Central Northwest jobs slot into existing routes rather than needing a dedicated mobilization.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes: licensed & insured, and we will show you current documentation before Central Northwest work starts, not after you ask twice.

How long will the work take?

Small Central Northwest jobs can be a day or two; larger scopes run longer. The written quote states the working days we expect and what could change them.

How soon can you start in Central Northwest?

Estimates in Central Northwest book within days. The job itself gets a start window on your written quote, set by real crew availability instead of optimism.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

That is common. Being on site in Central Northwest already makes adjacent work cheaper than bringing a crew back out later.

Do you cover Central Northwest?

Yes, Central Northwest sits well inside our Harris County coverage and crews pass through it regularly.
