| Full Joist or Stud Replacement | $400-$900 per member | Members with severe damage, collapse risk, or widespread decay beyond sisteringComplete structural restoration, like-new performance, required for severely damaged members |
| Sill Plate Replacement | $200-$500 per linear ft | Sill plate damage - the highest-priority structural repair for termite-damaged homesRestores the critical connection between framing and foundation, uses pressure-treated lumber resistant to future infestation |
| Epoxy Wood Consolidant and Filler | $30-$100 per application | Window sills, door frames, exterior trim with minor to moderate damage where replacement is impracticalNon-invasive, fills voids in partially damaged wood, can restore structural integrity of minor damage, paintable |
| Pressure-Treated Lumber Replacement | $300-$800 per member | Sill plates, rim joists, and any framing within 6 inches of soil or concreteChemically treated to resist future termite damage, required in many jurisdictions for ground-contact applications |
