FAQs

Americans spend $65 Billion/yr replacing windows, doors and siding. The largest reason for replacing windows doors & siding is related to wood rot and termite damage. This is an issue across the US however the USDA has determined that wood deterioration is high or severe in 50% of the United States. Wood deterioration is generally repaired by replacement contractors who, according to consumer reports, rank in the top three industries that receive the most complaints (only behind used car dealers). Replacement projects are largely plagued by frustrating sales tactics, expensive price tags and disruptive remodel schedules. To make matters worse, according to Remodel Magazine, most replacement projects have little to no return on investment. So yes, the demand to repair wood rot is there and people choose Preservan because it’s much less expensive to repair wood rot versus replacing the wood.

Preservan beats the competition by offering a truly disruptive home repair solution. Our wood rot repair services utilize an advanced epoxy resin technology allowing us to repair, not replace, damaged wood for 90% less than the replacement cost. Most jobs are completed in as little as 24 hours!

This epoxy repair method has been used to restore many landmark properties like Monticello, Mont Vernon, and The Statue of Liberty and now, it is available for your community!

Preservan is currently the only home services franchise in the United States that is solely dedicated to fixing wood rot.
