Find the right wood repair guide

These service guides focus on St. Louis. For coastal conditions, use our San Diego guide. Requests from other areas can be reviewed, but professional availability must be confirmed for each project.

Exterior woodwork

Start with the part of the home affected: roof-edge boards, siding, or the wood around an opening.

Decks and porches

Describe the boards, posts, railings or supporting wood involved so the assessing professional can define the scope.

Framing and concealed damage

Gather existing inspection findings about joists, sill plates or framing. A guide cannot establish structural condition or a repair method.

Prepare a useful repair request

Include the property city and ZIP, the affected part of the home, what you have observed, and your preferred timing. Mention any existing inspection report. You do not need to diagnose the damage or choose a repair method before asking for help.

The owner reviews requests and looks for a suitable independent professional. This is not a confirmed appointment, and a match is not guaranteed.
