Rot and wood-boring insect damage exposed at a log home corner

Florida has some of the heaviest termite and wood-boring insect pressure in the country, and log homes — with exposed, untreated wood surfaces — are especially vulnerable. We repair structural and cosmetic damage caused by termites and wood-boring insects, and apply Borate treatments to help protect repaired and exposed wood going forward.

Important: we repair damage and apply preventive Borate treatment — we do not treat active termite infestations, as that requires a licensed pest control company. If you have an active infestation, we're happy to point you toward a trusted licensed provider before we begin repair work.

What We Repair

  • Structural wood damaged by termites or wood-boring beetles
  • Cosmetic surface damage
  • Application of Borate treatment to newly repaired and exposed wood as a preventive measure
Corner log ends replaced with new wood, awaiting stain to match the wall
New corner log ends cut in to replace damaged wood, ready for the finish to be matched to the wall.

Signs of Termite & Wood-Boring Insect Damage

  • Small, round exit holes in the wood surface
  • Fine, sawdust-like frass near the base of logs or timbers
  • Mud tubes running up a foundation or log wall
  • Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
  • Blistered or sunken spots in the finish

If you notice any of this, we can assess the damage and get repairs scheduled — and point you to a licensed pest control provider first if there's an active infestation to deal with.

Damage is rarely limited to what shows from outside, so we probe the surrounding wood before quoting.

What Insect and Moisture Damage Looks Like

Wood-boring insects and long-term moisture usually show up in the same places — log ends, the bottom course near grade, and corners under downspouts. These are repairs from our own jobs. If an active infestation is present, we refer it to a licensed pest control company before we rebuild the wall.
