Dry Rot Repair for Cupertino Homes
Rancho Rinconada was built in the 1950s with Cliff May designed ranch houses, and Cupertino also has several Eichler tracts. Both styles use exposed beams, wide overhangs and lots of wood, which look great but give water more places to sit.
Beam ends past the roofline, fascia on flat or low-slope roofs and the bottom edge of wood siding are where we find dry rot most often. We repair them carefully so the home keeps its original character.

Exposed beam ends, fascia on low-slope roofs and lower siding boards are the first places we check on Cupertino homes.

Cupertino Dry Rot Repair FAQs
Do Eichler homes in Cupertino get dry rot?
Yes, it is common. Eichlers have exposed post-and-beam framing, and beam ends that extend past the roof are exposed to rain. When the paint or end-grain seal fails, the wood absorbs water and starts to rot.
Can you repair an exposed beam end without replacing the whole beam?
Often, yes. If the rot is limited to the end, it can be cut back and repaired. If it goes deeper, replacement may be needed. We explain the options after inspecting it.
Why do Rancho Rinconada homes need extra attention?
These 1950s ranch houses were built with wide eaves, wood siding and simple, low-cost details. After decades of weather, eaves and lower siding are common places for dry rot.
Do I need a permit for dry rot repair in Cupertino?
Small trim and siding repairs usually do not. Structural work may need a permit from the City of Cupertino. We will let you know during the inspection.
Should dry rot be repaired before painting?
Yes. Painting over rotted wood hides the problem but does not stop it. We repair the wood first so the surface is ready for exterior painting.
