About us

We Only Do One Thing

Most contractors treat wood rot as a line item - something a painter, a general renovator, or a deck builder handles alongside a dozen other services. We built Stop the Rot Co. around the opposite idea: rot is a specialized problem that deserves a specialist.

The same faces, the same trucks, on your street since 2001.

It's a fungus that starts hidden. By the time it's visible, it has usually already spread further than it looks. Rot can stay dormant for months or years in dried wood, then reactivate the moment it gets wet again.

WOOD ROT DOESN'T STAY SMALL

It needs almost no moisture to start. Wood is considered low risk before ~19-20% moisture. Past that, decay risk rises, and sustained levels above ~28-30% are enough to actively break the wood down fast.

Vancouver's climate is exactly what it wants. Wet, mild, and humid for most of the year - conditions that keep wood moisture elevated for months at a time

It doesn't pause because you're busy. Once active and left undisturbed, it keeps feeding on the wood - quietly, behind paint, siding, or trim.

13 years of contractors and Taras was just different. Top quality, and somehow on time too. Didn't have to check on him once, just knew it'd get done right.

“Thought our old contractors were good. Then T showed up and, turns out they were just fine, kinda all over the place. He thinks ahead before problems even happen. Wanna keep him a secret lol.” Kyle M., Vancouver, BC

“Taras shows up with everything already sorted, tools, materials, all of it. Fixed it crazy fast, and easy to chat with while he worked. Before he left he gave me some tips so the same thing doesn't happen again, which I appreciated, a lot of guys just leave once it's fixed.” Ilona N., Vancouver, BC

Wherever you are in Metro Vancouver, we're worth a call.
