THE SHORT ANSWER

How to Estimate Termite Damage Repair

200 sq ft with moderate damage and 20 labor hours at $70 totals about $7,800.

01

Assess the damage level

Minor cosmetic damage is cheap to repair; moderate damage needs material replacement; structural damage affects load-bearing framing.

  • Affected area
  • Damage level
  • Structural work
  • Labor
02

Confirm the infestation is treated

Repair after active termites means the damage returns. Confirm treatment is done before starting repair work.

03

Structural work is a different bid

Sistering or replacing load-bearing members needs an engineer and permits. Quote it as a separate, clearly labeled line.

04

Compare full-scope quotes

Get quotes separating repair, structural work and labor, and confirm who is responsible for the pest treatment.
