The Rot Doctors. Vermont’s Home Wood Rot Specialists.
The Rot Doctors, a division of Polli Construction, Inc., is a wood rot discovery and repair crew you can count on. When something feels off at home, a soft spot in the floor, a spongy deck board, a musty window sill, you don’t ignore it. You call The Rot Doctors. We stop rot in its tracks and fix the root cause. Moisture sneaks in; we find it, fix it, and rebuild better than before. Rot Doctors handle everything from sill and trim repairs to structural framing and historic details. Vermonters know us for our straight talk, clean work, and repairs that actually last.
