Dry Rot Repair
Dry rot repair addresses damage caused by fungal decay in wood framing, siding, and exterior trim. Ridgeline Western Construction identifies all affected structural and finish elements, determines the full extent of the damage, and replaces compromised material using dimensional lumber, engineered beams, and weather-rated trim. We manage the repair under a single contract and restore both the structure and appearance to code. A clear repair scope and inspection sequence means the job is managed to completion, not just patched.
Why Choose Ridgeline Western Construction for Dry Rot Repair
Dry rot often starts in places where water seeps past siding, decks, eaves, or window trim. Common signs include soft or crumbling wood, bubbling or peeling paint, doors and windows that swell or stick, and visible surface fungus or spongy deck boards. The challenge with dry rot is that visible damage usually understates how far the fungus has traveled within the structure, so a limited patch can miss the real problem.
Ridgeline Western Construction begins with a framing-level assessment to locate concealed decay and outline where replacement is required. We remove all affected wood, including neighboring sections with early-stage damage, and rebuild using pressure-treated lumber or engineered wood as needed. Flashing, moisture barriers, and trim are reinstalled to prevent a repeat, and all work is managed and closed through the required city inspections. The honest tradeoff is that true repair can mean opening up walls or decks further than the surface damage, but this is the only way to restore both strength and long-term resistance.
When the work is complete, you have a documented repair: the structural elements are restored, finishes blend with the originals, and the permit record shows the issue was addressed and signed off by the city. You know what was replaced, why it failed, and how further water entry has been stopped at the framing.
Permit and Inspection Management
Structural dry rot repairs are completed with the same documentation as major remodels. Ridgeline Western Construction manages permits, coordinates city inspections, and closes each phase for a clean compliance record. You receive documentation showing the rot was properly repaired, ready for future disclosures or ownership changes.
Framing-Depth Damage Assessment
Ridgeline Western Construction inspects past surface symptoms to locate hidden fungal decay inside framing, subfloor, or decking. Instead of setting scope just on visible damage, we open up adjacent areas to make sure all compromised material is caught before rebuilding. This approach means the rot is cleared fully, not left to spread out of sight.
Complete Structural and Finish Restoration
We remove all decayed or suspect wood, replacing with pressure-treated dimensional lumber, engineered beams, or exterior-grade trim as needed. Flashing, house wrap, and paint or stucco are reconstructed to restore protection and match finishes. You get a repair built for strength and durability, not just for appearances.

OTHER SERVICES
Ridgeline Western Construction offers a full range of construction services throughout San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange counties.
Home Additions
A home addition is a major structural project, not just an expansion of space. Ridgeline Western Construction manages every phase, from structural planning and engineering to permits, framing, finishing, and inspections. One contract covers all trades—the framing and carpentry are always self-performed, and every specialist is scheduled and supervised to keep the work moving as a single project. You get a finished addition designed to meet code, with a permit record that documents every inspection step.
Structural Repairs
Structural repairs address failures in a building’s framing, supports, or load paths that compromise stability or safety. Ridgeline Western Construction assesses visible symptoms — such as cracks in walls, sloping floors, or sticking doors — and traces them to structural causes like deteriorated joists, broken beams, or damaged shear walls. We deliver repairs from assessment through city inspection, rebuilding compromised structure and managing every required trade. You get one contractor who diagnoses, repairs, and sees the project to completion with a permit record that clears.
Termite Damage Repair
Termite damage repair restores wood framing, sheathing, and finishes that insects have compromised. Ridgeline Western Construction inspects exposed and concealed areas to identify weakened joists, studs, sill plates, and headers, then removes and replaces affected framing and any failed finishes as needed. We rebuild structural integrity, coordinate licensed pest control for active infestations, and repair drywall, trim, exterior siding, and stucco to close the project cleanly.

What Our Clients Say about us..
"I connected with Steven Moreno at Ridgeline Western Construction about a year ago when I was scoping out a project. Steven’s knowledge blew me away from framing, additions, new construction, materials, etc. He broke everything down like it was nothing & in a way that I actually could understand. The company is based out of Fontana and covers a huge range from San Bernardino and Riverside all the way through Los Angeles and Orange County. So if you’re in that area and need a general contractor that you can rely on then I would highly recommend Ridgeline Western Construction to get the job done right."
