We loved working with Sam and having him build this wheelchair ramp! He came in under other bids in time frame and cost. Great communicating when he would be on site and when different materials would be available. Respectful of our home and cleaned up really well at the end of the job. Sherman contracting is our new go-to for any contracting job.

Exterior structural repairs in Whatcom County, WA
Sherman General Contracting repairs exterior structural damage on homes across Whatcom County, WA.
Expert Exterior structural repairs in Whatcom County, WA
Exterior structural repairs address the parts of your home that hold everything together from the outside: framing, sheathing, sill plates, posts, beams, ledger boards, and the connections between them. In Whatcom County, these components take a beating. Heavy rainfall comes in sideways through fall and winter, and moisture finds every seam, end grain, and gap it can. Over time, that exposure leads to wood rot in framing and sheathing, corroded structural hardware, and weakened connections that are not visible from the surface. Homes with crawl spaces face added pressure, as ground moisture moves upward into the wood structure when drainage falls short. Sherman General Contracting was built on the belief that quality and integrity are the foundation of every project. We approach each exterior structural repair by identifying the actual source of the damage, not just what is visible on the surface, and restoring the structural integrity of your home the right way. If your home in Whatcom County has soft spots, sagging areas, or damage from a wet season, contact us to get the work done correctly.

FAQ
Exterior structural repairs FAQ
Common questions about exterior structural repairs in Whatcom County, WA.
Soft or spongy areas on walls, floors near exterior walls, or around window and door frames are common signs. Visible staining, peeling paint, or rot at post bases and ledger boards also point to structural issues worth inspecting.
Rain in Whatcom County can cause real structural damage, not just surface problems. Wind-driven rain gets into framing, sheathing, and ledger connections, where it causes wood decay and hardware corrosion that weakens the structure over time.
