What is not part of termite & dry-rot structural repair
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. That work goes to a licensed contractor, and structural wood repair is project work for one.
- Termite treatment, fumigation and pest control: that is a licensed pest control operator.
- Mold testing and remediation after a long leak. Book mold services separately.
- Foundation repair, underpinning and seismic retrofitting, which are their own structural services.
- Plumbing, roof and electrical repairs needed to fix the leak or damage. Those are licensed trades.
- Permit fees and plan review charges are paid by the owner unless the pro agrees otherwise in writing.
License and permits for termite & dry-rot structural repair
Replacing damaged framing is structural work. It is done by licensed contractors who hold the license, and the license is shown on their pro profile. Pest treatment is a separate regulated service done by licensed pest control operators.
Replacing load-bearing members commonly needs a building permit and an inspection before the walls are closed. Your pro arranges it and tells you what the inspector will look at. Ask the local building office what your area requires before work begins.
Check the license on the pro profile, ask for the permit and the inspection sign-off, and get the scope and any added work in writing. Keep the records with your pest reports.

Before you book termite & dry-rot structural repair
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Probe soft wood gently
Press a screwdriver into suspect trim and sills. If it sinks in easily, take a photo and mark the spot with tape.
Gather the pest report
If you have a pest or home inspection report, send it with the booking. It tells the pro which areas were flagged and how severe.
Check for active pests
Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, small pellets under wood, and winged insects after rain. Tell your pro and book treatment if they are active.
Find the water
Note leaks, overflowing gutters, soggy ground, running sprinklers and past plumbing problems near the damage. Stopping the water is part of the repair.
Clear access
Move stored items from crawlspace entries, closets and garage walls, and tell your pro about tight access, pets and security systems.
Agree on how changes are handled
Hidden damage can grow the scope. Ask how extra findings are priced and approved so nothing is added without your yes.
Say where in Foster City you are
