Super Service Award winning company 15 years in a row!! Touchstone is a painting and remodeling company for the home owner who really cares about his/her home and expects the job to be done right and done well the first time. We believe the difference between a mediocre job and a great job is found in the details, and therefore we are picky in our work, taking pride in what we do. All our hired help are highly skilled and very experienced only; no amateurs here. Our clients even say that we’re fun to have around! We are straight forward, honest, and easy to work with. Our motto: "We love our work. You will, too."

"I've used this company many times, not only for painting, but for handyman jobs. Jonathan and his crew have proven to be efficient, knowledgeable, and just good people! I have referred him to several neighbors, who have been very pleased with their work. Most recently, I decided to change a small room into my craft room and Jonathan was able to paint the room in a short time. I have never been disappointed with the work of Touchstone!"

Wood Stripping Companies questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on damage extent, the material type, accessibility, and the labor required for repairs.

Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won’t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. 

The signs of rot depend on the type. Dry rot looks like cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. 

Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.

Yes, any part of the home where wood meets water is susceptible to wood rot. This includes underneath sinks, decks, windowsills, window frames, basements, attics, and eaves, among other locations. Conduct regular inspections of these areas to spot the beginning stages of wood rot. Even the wood under roof shingles can rot and affect other areas.

Wood epoxy is used to fill larger areas of damaged wood and has stronger adhesion than wood filler. Epoxy dries to a hard, waterproof finish and can be harder to sand than filler. Wood filler stays flexible for longer than epoxy, and is used for smaller areas of damage. Both are available in paintable options, although it’s easier to stain filler than epoxy.
