Professional dry rot repair
Dry Rot Experts
Dry rot often starts out of sight and escalates quickly if left unaddressed. What begins as hidden moisture in framing, siding, or subflooring can turn into serious structural problems and costly repairs. Oregon’s rainy and humid climate creates ideal conditions for fungal growth when wood stays damp too long. Foshay Contracting specializes in identifying, removing, and repairing dry rot in homes and small commercial buildings. We proudly serve Eugene, Springfield, Junction City, Creswell, Veneta, Pleasant Hill, and the surrounding areas. We locate the source of moisture, remove damaged wood, and rebuild with proven materials designed for long term durability and protection.
What we do
Expert Dry Rot Repair That Fixes The Root Cause
Rot Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the full affected area to determine how far the dry rot and moisture damage have spread before repairs begin. That includes checking siding, trim, fascia, framing, and nearby transitions so hidden deterioration is not left behind.
Trim & Fascia Repair
Rotted fascia boards, exterior trim, column bases, and decorative wood are cut out and rebuilt with sound materials. We match existing dimensions and profiles as closely as possible so the repair blends cleanly with the surrounding exterior.
Siding Repair & Replacement
Dry rot behind siding can spread into sheathing and framing if the damaged section is only covered over. We remove affected siding, repair compromised materials underneath, and install replacement siding that matches the existing exterior whenever practical.
Structural Wood Repair
When rot reaches framing, posts, beams, or other structural wood, the damaged material must be repaired before finish work goes back on. We replace or reinforce compromised sections so the structure is restored properly instead of simply hiding the damage.
Flashing & Moisture Barrier Fixes
Dry rot often starts where water gets behind siding, trim, windows, roof transitions, or flashing. We address the moisture entry point, repair damaged barriers or flashing, and rebuild the affected area to reduce the chance of the same problem returning.
Paint & Seal After Repair
Once the dry rot repair is complete, repaired siding, trim, fascia, and wood surfaces are primed, painted, caulked, and sealed to match the surrounding exterior. Proper finishing helps protect the repair from rain and moisture exposure common throughout Eugene, Springfield, and surrounding Lane County communities.

Cost, Timeline, Warranty & Financing
What it costs
Cost depends on how much wood is affected, whether the rot has spread into structural framing, and what caused it in the first place. An in-person inspection is the only way to get accurate pricing.
How long it takes
A small trim or fascia repair can often be done in a day. Anything involving structural framing takes longer, we give a firm timeline once we’ve opened up the area and can see the full extent of it.
Our warranty
Coverage holds until you’re satisfied, with no arbitrary cutoff date. If something comes up after the repair, we come back and fix it.
Financing available
Hearth financing is available with flexible payment options, so a repair doesn’t have to wait until the full budget is saved up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Dry Rot Repair
How do I know if I have dry rot on the exterior of my home?
Common signs include soft or crumbling wood, peeling paint, swollen or cracked siding, damaged trim, discoloration, gaps around windows or doors, and areas that feel spongy when pressed. Damage can also be hidden behind siding or trim, so the visible problem may not show the full extent of the deterioration.
What causes exterior dry rot in Eugene and Springfield homes?
Exterior wood decay is usually caused by prolonged moisture exposure. Common sources include failed flashing, leaking windows or doors, damaged siding, roof or gutter leaks, poor drainage, unsealed joints, and water collecting where decks, trim, or other exterior components connect to the house.
Can dry rot be hidden behind siding?
Yes. Moisture can get behind siding and damage plywood or OSB sheathing, framing, and other wall components without being immediately visible from the exterior. Siding may need to be removed in the affected area to determine how far the damage extends.
Can leaking windows or doors cause exterior dry rot?
Yes. Failed flashing, sealants, or installation details around windows and doors can allow water into the wall assembly. Over time, this can damage trim, sheathing, framing, and nearby siding. The source of the water intrusion should be corrected as part of the repair.
Can exterior dry rot cause structural damage?
Yes. If wood decay reaches structural framing such as studs, rim joists, beams, posts, or other load-bearing components, the affected wood can lose strength. Structural damage should be repaired before the exterior is closed back up.
What is involved in an exterior dry rot repair?
The repair typically starts by removing enough siding, trim, or other exterior material to expose the damaged area. The moisture source is identified and corrected, deteriorated wood is removed, damaged sheathing or framing is repaired or replaced, and proper flashing and weather protection are restored before the exterior finishes are rebuilt.
Does homeowners insurance cover exterior dry rot?
Coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of the homeowner’s policy. Sudden and accidental water damage may be treated differently from long-term leaks, deterioration, or maintenance-related problems. Homeowners should document the damage and contact their insurance carrier to determine whether the loss is covered.
Do you have to replace all of the siding when repairing dry rot?
Not necessarily. If the damage is localized, it may be possible to remove and replace only the siding and materials needed to access the affected area. More extensive moisture damage or deteriorated siding may make a larger replacement more practical.
