Rotted siding, window sills, door jambs, fascia and deck boards cut out and rebuilt with sound wood, primed on every face, painted to match. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair rebuilds rotted wood on Tigard homes, from the 1950s and 1960s houses around downtown and Greenburg to the family streets by Summerlake and Cook Park and the hillside homes on Bull Mountain and River Terrace: the siding bottoms and sills that never dry near the creeks and the parks, the garage and side-door jambs that sit on the slab, the fascia behind an overflowing gutter, the deck boards, rail posts and ledgers on the slope lots. Each is cut back to sound wood, rebuilt with the same profile, primed on all faces, painted to match and the water path fixed. When carpenter ants are in the wet wood, a licensed pest company treats first and we rebuild after. The price is in writing before anything starts, from our office twenty minutes up the road in Hillsboro. Since 2024 we have completed 79 repair visits on 38 Tigard homes.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
Low ground by Fanno Creek that stays wet all winter, a hillside deck that takes the weather, nine months of rain on both: Tigard rot starts at the wettest board. We open it up, cut back to sound wood, rebuild and seal, and fix the gutter, the grade or the flashing that fed it.

Low ground and slope. Along Fanno Creek, around Summerlake and down toward Cook Park the ground stays wet from October to May, and a bottom course of siding, a post base or a jamb on the slab wicks it for months. Up on Bull Mountain the water comes sideways: wind drives the rain into the deck boards, the rail posts and the weather-side trim, and a ledger bolted through the siding without flashing wets the wall behind it. The shaded, wet side of a Tigard house is where we look first.
The insect in a rotted Tigard sill is almost always the carpenter ant, which carves a nest in wood that is already wet and leaves sawdust below it. Pacific dampwood termites nest inside moist, damaged wood as well. Subterranean termites are rarer here and show as soil tubes on a foundation; the drywood termite of the Southwest is uncommon in Oregon. A licensed pest company treats the colony; we fix the water and rebuild the wood after.
Filler in a rotted sill or a siding bottom holds paint for one wet season and then the water is behind it again. We cut back to where the probe stops, splice or replace the piece with the same profile, prime every face including the end grain, caulk the joint and paint over it, so the repair sheds water instead of trapping it.
Get the downspouts into a drain or onto a splash block that carries the water away from the wall. Keep the soil and bark dust below the bottom course and the shrubs a foot off the siding. Keep the deck boards gapped and clear so the ledger line can dry. Clean the gutters in October, and repaint the north wall and the weather side before the paint fails.
Houses from the 1950s to the 1970s with T1-11, lap siding, fir trim and wood-framed windows on lots that are shaded and never quite dry. The siding bottoms and the side-door jamb rot first, then the sills on the shaded wall and the fascia behind the gutter. We splice new wood into the old, drop the grade and match the paint.
Family streets from the 1970s to the 1990s near the creek and the parks, where the ground stays wet all winter and the siding on many houses went up before Oregon required a drainage gap. The bottom course wicks, the garage jamb crumbles on the slab, and water behind the siding shows at window corners. We rebuild the section, correct the flashing and match the trim.
Hillside homes from the 1990s to the 2010s with decks and railings facing the weather and association standards. Deck boards rot at the ends, rail posts at the base where water pools, and a ledger can hide damage behind the siding. We rebuild boards, rails and posts where they stand, flash the ledger properly and name a ledger problem before anyone opens the wall.
Tigard is covered from Hillsboro with the rest of the metro; the Portland dry rot and wood rot repair page has the Portland rule on permits and historic districts and the Oregon pest and dry rot inspection in plain words.
A fascia board, a sill or a trim piece is priced on the call, in writing. A bigger rebuild gets a look first and a written price before anything starts.
We cut back to sound wood and probe how far the rot really goes. If it runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further, with the price.
New wood primed on all sides, caulked, painted to match, and the water path that caused it fixed: the drip edge, the flashing, the gutter end, the sprinkler.
The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every rot repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty.
Tigard's Building Division administers Oregon's statewide residential code: no permit to repair or replace siding that is not fire-rated, to replace a window or a door in the same opening, to paint, or for a deck where the floor is not more than 30 inches above grade, which the city's own page says in those words, and no application for an ordinary repair with like materials. A deck over 30 inches, a rotted beam or a post that carries a roof is where a permit starts, and we tell you on the call.
Oregon requires no termite report on a sale. A Tigard buyer orders a pest and dry rot inspection from a licensed inspector, on its own or as part of the whole-home inspection, and its list is the soft sills, the siding bottoms, the deck boards and any ant damage. We repair what it lists, priced from the report in writing, and the buyer's inspector rechecks before closing.
Summerlake, River Terrace and many of the Bull Mountain streets have associations; a rot repair painted to match rarely needs a form, and a changed trim profile or a new color sometimes does, so we put the materials and finish in writing for it. Much of Bull Mountain is unincorporated Washington County rather than the city, and we confirm which one answers the permit question for your address.

Call 971-571-5787A sill, a jamb or a section of siding is priced on the call and usually scheduled within days from our Hillsboro office; the painting waits for a dry stretch. A deck or a whole wall is sized after a look, with the scope in writing before anything starts.
Yes, in the right order: the pest company treats, then we take out the carved siding, trim and reachable framing, stop the water that drew the ants in, and rebuild with sound wood. We do not treat; they do not rebuild.
Yes. Rot repair is carpentry: siding, sills, trim, jambs, fascia, deck boards. Kaminskiy is licensed, bonded and insured, which covers a rim joist or a stringer splice as well. The one thing we will not do quietly is open a beam or a ledger; that gets named first.
Three things: how much wood has to come out once it is opened, how high and how reachable it is on a hillside lot, and the siding or trim it has to match. Text a photo and the price is in writing before anything is scheduled; if it runs further than the photo showed, you hear it before we go further.
For most rot work, no. Tigard's own page puts a deck under 30 inches outside the permit, and the state list it works from adds siding repair, a window or a door in its own opening, paint and ordinary repairs with like materials. A taller deck, a rotted beam or a post that carries a roof is a permit, and we say which before we price it.
Yes. We replace the soft boards, rebuild a rotted rail post at its base, probe the joists and the ledger while the boards are off and flash the ledger properly. If the ledger or a beam that carries the deck is rotted through, we say so before anyone opens the wall.
