Q: What are common signs of rot?

• <div><p>The signs of rot depend on the type. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-dry-rot-look-like.htm">Dry rot looks like</a> cube-shaped cracks with a fluffy white, cotton-like texture. Wood with dry rot may also have a strong, musty smell. </p><p>Signs of other types of rot include wood that looks mushy or has black spots. The wood may crumble or give way when touched.</p></div>

Q: Does green algae rot wood?

• <div><p>Algae doesn't directly contribute to wood rot, like mold, but it does create conditions that can lead to mold over time. Algae retain moisture, which favors fungal growth, potentially leading to wood rot over time. In some cases, significant algae growth can lead to the weakening of wood fibers, ultimately causing rot. Try to keep things as dry as possible. </p></div>

Q: Does wood rot impact other parts of the home?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover wood rot?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. </p></div>

If you want the job done in a timely manner, at the right price, and done right, then you hire Butlers. Blue collar company who actually cares about their work and customers, not just about the customers money like these other companies. Id only hire butlers when the projects arise.

This was a tub to shower remodel. The salesman, Greg, was very nice and helpful. He wasnâ t pushy at all and didnâ t try to sell us things we didnâ t need or want. The installers (Sam M, Jujuan A, and Bob) were great, friendly, courteous, and hardworking and did a fantastic job! We would...

This was over all the best experience in my whole life of having a company do work for me. What an awesome job. One year ago a 15 foot branch fell out of the top. Fortunately it fell away from house. At that time I had the worst experience by a local contractor. He never returned to finish....
