Lake Houston Wood Rot Repair
the Lake Houston area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the wood rot repair scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Window sills and bottom corner boards are the first places to check on most homes in this area.

We do not quote wood rot repair sight unseen. Someone comes out to Lake Houston, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
