The answer to this question varies as to where the damaged area is as far as visible - exterior - interior and so on. The first situation is that there is no such thing as dry rot. Dry wood does not rot. so if there is an area that is rotted - you need to figure out how the area got saturated for a period of time that initiated and supported rot to develop. If the area is not dry - is it always dry - or is it getting wet during a storm. - where is the water coming from? if it is a previous situation that has since been resolved and prevented from continuing to get wet as the result of a repair and it is not an insect infestation such as termites then the course of action is a bit easier. There are a number of methods and materials that can be used - however, if you could provide some more information and or photographs I believe that I can help steer you in the right direction. Each situation calls for a different approach and there are a number of factors that we should discuss. I have emailed you my contact information and look forward to speaking with you about your project and providing you with further information. I emailed you a couple of days ago - but have not heard from you. If you do not wish to call via telephone you may also reach me on skype. My skype screen name is Bearfort.

I know they need to be filled, but am not sure with what or the best method to use.
