Grab a screwdriver. Walk around your house. Poke the wood.

Sounds weird, right? But this 60-second test could save you thousands. 💸

Wood rot is quietly eating homes all over Richmond, and most homeowners don’t find out until it’s a BIG problem.

Here’s the test:
✅ Press a screwdriver into your door frames, window sills, porch posts and trim
✅ Solid wood? You’re good.
❌ Tip sinks in or it feels spongy? That’s rot.

⚠️ And NO, fresh paint doesn’t mean the wood underneath is fine. Paint is a great disguise. 🎭

We put the whole test, plus the 4 rot myths that cost homeowners money, in our new blog post. 👇

Your deck could be rotting right now and you would never know. 😬

Try this 30-second test: press a screwdriver into the wood around your doors, windows and deck boards. If it sinks in like a wet sponge, you have wood rot.

Do NOT paint over it. The rot keeps spreading underneath, and the bill keeps growing.

Look at that before and after. That is what the right repair looks like. 👆
