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
Source: National averages adjusted for Vancouver WA market, 2026
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.

John was friendly, polite and very professional. His work was quick but also quality. I would highly recommend him for your home projects. I'll be using him again!

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!

CRM remodeled our shower, fixed our decking, and did lots of minor repairs and painting on our 1901 built Farmhouse. The new tenants love the work and CRM did a great job for a great price.

CRM did work on a rental property when my tenant moved out. They took care of all the details, big and small. Did a great job, in the time frame they promised and made me aware of any changes that came up. Very happy with the work they did!

John and his crew were very reliable, punctual and did fantastic work. His guys literally showed up 15 mins before eight every morning and sat in the driveway until 8 o'clock when they were scheduled to start and did excellent work. They're work was outstanding and I highly recommend them!

John and his guys did a great job for us. We had to get our house of 12 years ready to sell in just a few months, I tried doing most of the work myself, but when time was running low, I called the pros. I actually had called another contractor before John But they left the house a mess, and we decided to try another company. I am so lucky we found John. He took care of everything. I asked, even pointed out a few things. His guys could take care of quick and easy. I felt like the amount I was charged was less than I expected, and was definitely fair and reasonable. Our house got sold quickly, and for asking price. I would definitely suggest John to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy handyman. He knows his stuff.

John and his team are amazing to work with! I had an out of town client needing some repairs done and John did a fabulous job. He was very responsive keeping me up to date as the project items were completed while also providing photos. They worked in a timely manner and made it stress free for myself and my clients. I would highly recommend John and his team to anyone looking to have repairs or updates done. :)

CRM was referred to me by the realtor I hired to sell my mom's duplex after she died. Before selling, both units required a door to be removed from the common wall and the doorway to be sheet rocked, textured, painted and new baseboards. CRM showed up to look at the job the very day I called. They explained exactly what steps were necessary and gave me a detailed estimate that was fair and reasonable. They were professional, experienced, and confident and also willing to accommodate my scheduling needs. They started and finished exactly when they said, did a flawless job in both units, cleaned up and gave me no surprises. I highly recommend this company for your construction project.

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.

I highly recommend CRM services. I was referred to John by my Property Management Company in Vancouver, WA. I got a quote right away for an interior paint job and was blown away by the speed and great job that was done! I then asked for an exterior quote, which I also got right away. Which is the reason for 4 stars and not 5. Only because of the weather conditions in Washington, I had to wait a few months rather than a few weeks. John has been very responsive and I am very pleased with the painting they've done for my rental property. It was a godsend finding this company, as I live in Hawaii, so communication is very important. It was a pleasure working with John and using CRM services!

Not only was work done to our high standard, the crew kept the space clean while working & carefully cleaned up work area upon project completion (didn't even need to dust after they left!).

John and his company are my go-to contractors for the Vancouver/Portland area. John is very knowledgeable about everything relating to construction, and discusses projects in a way that helps the customer make the best decision. I work in real estate and the saying "construction projects take twice as long and twice the money" rings true for a lot of projects. However, I can always trust John's quotes to be detailed, accurate, and on point, with no surprises (unless I changed/added something) I've had CRM Services do two complete home remodels, windows, painting, along with many other smaller jobs on rental properties. All of his employees are professional, knowledgeable, and have a good work ethic. Thank you CRM Services!
