Termite Damage Repair Services 

Termites don’t just infest—they destroy. Over time, these pests can quietly eat away at the wooden structure of your home, weakening walls, floors, framing, and even roofing. At Vanguard Termite Control, we don’t just get rid of termites—we also rebuild what they’ve left behind.

We offer full-service termite damage repair throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and the greater Bay Area. Whether you’re fixing hidden structural damage or preparing a home for sale, our licensed team will restore your property safely, efficiently, and up to code.

Why Termite Damage Repair Matters

Termites feed on cellulose, the main component in wood, drywall, and other building materials. If left untreated, even a small infestation can lead to:

• Weakened support beams and framing

• Hollow or crumbling wood trim

• Cracks in drywall or sagging ceilings

• Doors and windows that no longer close properly

• Decreased property value and safety concerns

Many homeowners discover termite damage only after the colony is eliminated. That’s why professional repair is a critical final step in any complete termite control plan.

When Do You Need Termite Repair?

Here are common situations where termite damage repair is needed:

1. After a Termite Extermination

Once termites are eliminated—either through local treatment or fumigation—an inspection may reveal wood that is too damaged to leave as-is. Repairs should follow soon after to prevent future issues.

2. Before Selling a Home

If your termite report during escrow reveals damage, it could affect the buyer’s decision or lender approval. Making necessary repairs allows you to provide a clearance letter and protect your asking price.

3. After a Termite Inspection

Even without active termites, signs of past damage may still be present. Repairing these areas improves the appearance, function, and safety of your property.

4. When Noticed by Sight or Sound

If you notice wood that’s soft, hollow, discolored, or cracked—or if your floors creak and sag—there may be hidden damage worth investigating.

Our Termite Repair Process

Every home and every infestation is different. That’s why we follow a step-by-step repair process to ensure lasting, high-quality results:

Step 1: Assessment & Damage Report

After confirming termites are no longer present, we conduct a thorough structural inspection to determine which materials need to be replaced or reinforced.

Step 2: Scope of Work & Estimate

You’ll receive a detailed scope of work and cost breakdown before we begin. We clearly outline what we’re repairing, how, and when—so there are no surprises.

Step 3: Demolition & Replacement

We remove compromised materials and replace them with pressure-treated or termite-resistant lumber when appropriate. In high-risk areas, we may apply borate solutions to prevent future infestations.

Step 4: Finishing & Restoration

Drywall is patched, paint is matched, trim is replaced, and everything is cleaned up—so your home looks and feels whole again.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Warranty

We’ll walk you through the completed repairs and provide warranty options for peace of mind. For real estate sales, we also offer documentation showing the damage was professionally resolved.

Real Estate & Escrow Repair Services

Selling a home in California often requires termite clearance. If the termite inspection reveals damage that affects structural integrity, repairs are often necessary before lenders or buyers will move forward.

We help real estate professionals and homeowners by:

• Providing same-day or next-day repair estimates

• Prioritizing escrows with tight timelines

• Issuing completion letters and documentation

• Working directly with your agent or escrow company

Our team helps close deals faster and with fewer delays.

Termite Damage: Cosmetic vs. Structural

Some damage may be minor, like soft trim or small drywall holes. Other cases are more serious, such as compromised joists or sill plates. If structural components are affected, repairs must meet building code standards and may require permits.

At Vanguard, we’ll let you know whether the damage is superficial or structural—and make sure repairs meet all safety and code requirements.

Prevention After Repair

To ensure long-lasting protection, we also offer:

• Preventative treatments during or after repair

• Regular inspections (recommended annually)

• Termite monitoring stations for high-risk homes

Stopping termites is just the beginning. Keeping them out is how we protect your investment long-term.
