Termite & Wood Rot Repair and Restoration

Termite Damage

Before Restoration

With 20 years of  expertise in wood restoration you can be assured of  the best possible results with Master Builders of Marin.

In addition to removing and replacing structural elements damaged by insects or fungal rot, we selectively employ marine epoxies to restore structural integrity when removal and replacement of key structural elements will be too costly.   Our knowledge and expertise in professional wood renovation techniques will save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary replacement.   Penetrating marine epoxies are used to maximum advantage to eliminate insect infestation (carpenter ants, termites, etc.) and prevent the spread of fungal rot beyond the immediatley affected area.

Please call us for a free consultation regarding your wood renovation needs.

Restored Beam End

Restored Beam End

This is the restored beam end after complete removal of fungal rot, saturation of the adjacent  beam body with penetrating marine epoxy, the installation of structural screws, and filling with solid marine epoxy.   This beam end awaits final sanding and staining to match the appearance of the main body of the beam.   Removal and replacement of this beam would have necessitated dismantling of the structure at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars.  Instead this professional restoration cost less than a thousand dollars.
