Dry rot is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — problems facing Pacific Northwest homeowners. The constant moisture in Vancouver, WA creates ideal conditions for wood-destroying fungi, and by the time you see the damage on the surface, it's often already spread behind your siding, into your sheathing, and sometimes into your framing.
Most contractors treat dry rot as a cosmetic problem — they patch the surface and move on. CRM Services takes a different approach. We diagnose the ROOT CAUSE of every rot issue: missing or improperly installed kickout flashing, failed caulking at siding intersections, improper siding clearance to grade, gutter failures directing water behind siding, or damaged house wrap. We don't just fix the symptom — we fix why it happened.
With 30+ years of experience in the trades and a background in property management maintenance, we've seen every type of rot damage. From minor trim repairs to full structural sheathing replacement, CRM Services handles the complete scope — and we do it right the first time.
We don't just patch — we find why it happened

We inspect the visible damage and probe surrounding areas to determine the full extent of rot. We check flashing, caulking, clearances, and drainage — not just the surface.
We identify what caused the moisture intrusion: missing kickout flashing, failed caulking, improper grade clearance, gutter failure, or damaged weather barrier.
You receive a detailed, line-item estimate covering both the rot repair and the root cause correction. No hidden charges, no vague bids.
We remove all damaged material, repair structural components as needed, correct the moisture source, and restore the exterior to match.
Photo documentation of all work completed. We provide maintenance recommendations to prevent future rot issues.

We recently had a major bathroom remodel by CRM Services and the result is beautiful. The remodel included replacing old rotted floor boards due to water seepage. The floor is now nice and sturdy with beautiful new vinyl flooring over the top. A new bathtub and sink were installed to add the finishing touch. In spite of this being a major project it was completed within only one week. The entire crew were very kind and respectful. They even mopped up as they finished, leaving everything nice and clean. I would definitely call on them again.

I have had numerous clients use John for a wide variety of work from interior/ exterior paint, siding work, bathroom remodels, flooring installs, light fixture installs, you name it. He is great about making himself available on short notice and helping my clients out if they're in a pinch. He is always on my go to list of referrals!

John Torres did some work for me around 2021 and set up a French door where there was a window. He did a great job leaving everything functional. He is a good listener and accepts suggestions from home owners. I would not hesitate to use his services again!

We decided it was time to sell our home so we could begin to move in the direction of our goals. When you've lived in your wonderful home for almost 15yrs and have taken good care of it there may still be some things that need attention. In order to present a close to spotless home to potential buyers my realtor recommended we do a pre-inspection just to see what might need tidying up. John Torres and his team we're amazing to work with. Open communication, know how, quality work, on time, and super pleasant. All the items were completed within the time frame and at a reasonable price. Thank you John Torres & Team!

John and his crew at CRM Services have done a phenomenal job with two of our rental homes. He has amazing communication skills, very clear quotes/estimates in repair costs, and provides updates of work being done with pictures and clear descriptions. John also looks at what makes economic sense but also considers quality products. I wish all contractors would have the same work ethic that he upholds. Customer service has been excellent every single time! Thank you, John and CRM Services for providing us with peace of mind (especially when we live in a different state 2500 miles away). We know that we can always trust you with our rental homes.
