Wood Rot and Structural Repair in Nashville, TN by Nashville Carpentry across Middle Tennessee
Stop it, then fix it.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Wood rot is not just cosmetic. Fungus eats away at structural lumber wherever wood stays wet, and Middle Tennessee's humidity gives it plenty of opportunity around windows, decks, porches, sills and crawl spaces.

We probe to find the true extent, cut out all affected wood, fix the water source, and rebuild with treated or naturally durable materials, flashing and sealants so the repair outlasts the original.

Good questions

Rot and Structural Repair: common questions

Can rotted wood be saved?

Small, surface-level soft spots in non-structural wood can sometimes be consolidated with epoxy. Structural or deeply rotted wood should be replaced.

How do I stop rot from returning?

Keep water away: gutters, grading, flashing, sealed end grain and good airflow. We point out the causes and fix what we can.
