Roofing Services · Central Valley, CA
Rotted fascia boards, rafter tails, and roof decking don’t fix themselves. SQ Roofing Inc. (Supreme Quality Roofing Inc.) replaces the damaged wood, seals it, and ties it back into your roof so the problem stays gone.
What Dry Rot Is
Dry rot is fungal decay that breaks down wood fibers after they’ve been wet too many times. On a roof, it usually shows up where water lingers: the fascia boards behind your gutters, the exposed rafter tails under the eaves, and the sheathing along the roof edge and around penetrations.
In the Central Valley, the seasons are hard on exposed wood. Winter rain soaks the roof edge, then summer heat above 100°F cracks the paint and opens the grain for the next rainy season. Once rot sets in, the wood turns soft, brown, and crumbly, and it stops holding nails, gutters, and flashing the way it should.
SQ Roofing Inc. (Supreme Quality Roofing Inc.) has been inspecting and repairing residential roofs across the Central Valley for over 30 years. We find where the rot ends, remove everything that’s compromised, and rebuild with sound lumber so your roof edge is solid again.
Know the Warning Signs
If you notice any of these, have your roof edge looked at before the next rainy season.
A screwdriver sinks into fascia or rafter tails with very little pressure.
Paint that keeps failing along the eaves often means moisture is trapped underneath.
Gutters pulling away from the house usually mean the fascia behind them has lost its grip.
Brown, cube-like cracking and wood that breaks apart by hand point to active decay.
How We Work
We probe the fascia, rafter tails, and decking to map how far the rot goes, then walk you through what we found with photos.
Every soft or decayed section comes out. Leaving rot behind means paying for the same repair again.
We cut, fit, and fasten new boards, rafter tails, or sheathing to match your roofline and existing profiles.
New wood is sealed and primed, and we correct the gutter, drip edge, or flashing issue that let the water in.

Why Choose Us
Dry rot repair is carpentry and roofing at the same time. SQ Roofing Inc. (Supreme Quality Roofing Inc.) handles both, so the wood, the flashing, and the roofing materials above it are fixed together instead of being passed between trades.
FAQ
Repeated moisture. Clogged gutters, a missing drip edge, failed paint, and leaks around flashing keep wood damp long enough for decay fungi to grow. Fixing the wood without fixing the water source only buys time, so SQ Roofing Inc. (Supreme Quality Roofing Inc.) addresses both.
Soft, decayed wood needs to be cut out and replaced. Filling or painting over rot hides it for a season, but the decay keeps spreading underneath. We replace the damaged sections and keep as much sound original wood as possible.
Often it isn’t, because many policies treat rot as gradual damage. Coverage varies, so check with your insurer. We can document what we find with photos if you need them for a claim.
Yes, and it’s the best time to do it. During a re-roof, damaged decking and fascia are fully exposed, so we replace them before the new roofing goes on.
Many fascia and rafter tail repairs can be completed in a day or two, depending on how much wood is affected. We’ll give you a timeline with your free quote.
