FOR PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS
Professional Wood Repair Products Built for Contractors
Correct the moisture source and establish repair suitability before choosing materials. Accessible inspection does not establish concealed condition or load-bearing suitability; uncertain framing, supports or connections need qualified evaluation before removal. Explore the WRP repair process and exterior wood repair views.
COMMON CONTRACTOR REPAIRS
Evaluate Localized Wood Repair Situations
Localized exterior deterioration may be considered for repair after moisture, remaining-wood condition, access and suitability questions are resolved. These examples are potential repair situations, not approval of repair suitability. Review the WRP repair process or compare exterior wood repair views.
Structural Beams
Beam ends and exposed framing require resolution of support, connection and concealed-condition concerns before repair materials are selected.
Fascia Boards
Restore rotted fascia, roofline trim, and exposed exterior wood where moisture damage commonly starts.
Columns
Column-base deterioration may involve supports or concealed damage. Establish repair suitability before removal or rebuilding.
Window Sills

Pergolas & Rafter Tails

FEATURED PROJECT
Explore the Hawaii Restoration Project
Explore the Hawaii restoration project and discuss material planning with WRP. Photographs do not establish concealed condition or load-bearing suitability. The WRP process uses materials appropriate to the evaluated repair. Cobra Rods are wood preservative rods used where appropriate according to current instructions; WRP Topping is optional minor surface refinement.

PROFESSIONAL REPAIR PROCESS
Plan Preparation, Rebuilding and Finishing
Plan preparation, rebuilding and finishing according to the evaluated repair. Follow the current product label and Technical Documents for preparation, application, curing, cleanup and safety requirements, including current SDS/TDS where available. Obtain appropriate guidance before disturbing coatings of unknown composition. See WRP Videos for process demonstrations or Contact WRP for product guidance. The USDA Wood Handbook (FPL-GTR-190) is background, not validation of an individual repair. Browse the repair gallery for appearance examples.

Correct the moisture source, establish repair suitability, and prepare the evaluated area according to current instructions.
2. Restore
Wood Consolidant is used on prepared deteriorated wood where applicable. WRP Dough A & B rebuilds localized missing wood where repair suitability has been established.

CONTRACTOR FAQ
Questions Contractors Ask About WRP
Answers to common questions about using the WRP Wood Repair System on professional repair and restoration projects.
Can WRP repair structural wood?
Applying WRP materials does not establish structural condition or load-bearing suitability. Conditions involving framing, supports, connections or concealed deterioration need qualified evaluation before removal or material selection. Dough rebuilds localized missing wood where repair suitability has been established. Review the WRP repair process.
How much damaged wood should I remove before applying WRP?
Establish repair suitability and removal scope before removing deteriorated wood. Work only within the evaluated repair area and current preparation instructions, inspecting accessible deterioration only where access is safe. Firmness alone does not establish concealed condition or load-bearing suitability. Stop and reassess if damage extends beyond that scope or involves concealed framing, structural members, electrical, plumbing or uncertain conditions. Obtain qualified evaluation where suitability is uncertain. Review the applicable preparation steps.
Can WRP be sanded, routed, drilled, or carved after curing?
Follow current instructions for the selected material's curing, shaping, drilling, routing, sanding, priming and painting requirements. View appearance examples in the Before & After Gallery.
How long does WRP take to cure?
Follow the current instructions for each selected WRP product's application, curing and follow-on finishing requirements. Current technical resources are linked above; contact WRP if project-specific product guidance is needed, or review How WRP Works for the overall process.
Can WRP be used on commercial and HOA projects?
Localized exterior deterioration on commercial or HOA properties may be a repair candidate after moisture and repair-suitability questions are resolved. Project size does not establish suitability. Explore the Hawaii restoration project for project context.
Which repair kit should I stock for everyday contractor work?
Compare the approximate coverage of each kit with the evaluated repair area and depth. Contact WRP for quantity guidance and browse all available sizes in the WRP Shop.
Does WRP provide technical support for contractors?
Yes. WRP provides technical support to help contractors choose the right products, answer application questions, and recommend repair techniques for specific projects. Contact WRP for product recommendations or technical assistance.
Where can contractors buy WRP products?
Contractors can order directly from the WRP online store or purchase through select authorized WRP dealers. Dealer inventory varies by location, so we recommend calling ahead if you're looking for a specific product.
Why repair instead of replace?
Where localized repair is appropriate, compare demolition, access, carpentry, debris and refinishing requirements with replacement. Repair suitability and moisture correction come before cost comparisons. View appearance examples in the Before & After Gallery.
