Inspector Note — Santa Monica
“Santa Monica Craftsman homes in Sunset Park often have original wood garage doors and garage framing from the 1920s–1930s — the detached garage is frequently the most infested structure on the property and should be inspected as a separate scope item.”
What to Expect: Bora-Care Treatment in Santa Monica
Here's exactly what happens from your first call through completion.
Assessment
We determine which wood members will benefit from Bora-Care treatment based on exposure, age, and any post-treatment repair work being completed.
Surface Preparation
Wood surfaces must be bare and unfinished for proper absorption. Paint, stain, or sealant must be removed or treatment scheduled before finishes are applied.
Application
Bora-Care is applied to all targeted wood surfaces using spray or brush methods, penetrating deep into the wood fiber.
Absorption & Cure
We allow 24–48 hours for full penetration before painting or sealing. No vacating required — the product has very low mammalian toxicity.
Documentation
All treated areas are photographed and documented for warranty records and future reference.
