Lender Required Dry Rot Repair in Natoma Station, Folsom, CA

 

Are you refinancing your home in Natoma Station, Folsom? Many homeowners are refinancing to take advantage of the low rates and that can benefit many in the Folsom area. It also can bring about some things that need to be done. You may need to get that dry rot repaired before the loan funding. That repair isn’t always a serious matter.

Hidden dry rot in wood siding behind trim in Folsom, CAI got a call from a loan representative that called me with a request to give an estimate to satisfy a termite report. The termite report didn’t have a lot of repairs, just a handful of exterior wood rot. The repairs today involved removing and replacing wood siding, window trim, and a wood window shelf. There were some areas that revealed damage beyond the original scope of work, so there was a slight additional cost. That happens sometimes with termite reports.

We were able to wrap things up in a day. The wood was replaced, caulking applied, and the work area cleaned up. The repair area is ready for paint and re-inspection.

One of the advantages of hiring someone with dry rot repair experience is that the extent of the repairs can be more accurately anticipated. Some areas of a termite report tends to have further areas of repair that is not yet seen. Having done enough of these repairs, you learn where the real problem areas are located. The report that I received didn’t have any of those problem spots, just minor adjustments.

If you are refinancing and in need of getting the dry rot repaired in Natoma Station, Folsom CA, consider calling a general contractor with years of experience. You will get a more accurate estimate of the potential costs and a better understanding of what to be ready for.

Thanks Gita.

I agree, probably true in many areas of real estate.

Al and Peggy - the lender just wants to make sure the asset is protected, which ultimately the property owner wants also. The sooner the better.

That's Type II dry rot you have there. The wood in now dry and rotted but you know where the water came from.

Type I is the mystery question. The wood will be rotten and dry, but it is not obvious how it is getting wet or where the water is comming from. This can often be the case with seasonal condensation.

Gotch ya! Strictly my artistic liscence there Tom. Many homeowners don't understand the different causes for the incidence of dry rot as opposed to wet rot.

Tom: Lenders actually insist you hire a professional, at least that happened to me today with a client. And I would have called you for an estimate if you weren't so far away!
