Siding Is A Moisture-Management System, Not Just A Finish
Good-looking siding that isn't properly flashed and water-managed underneath will still let moisture into the wall assembly, especially in a climate that sees as much sustained rain as ours. We install with a proper weather-resistive barrier, correctly lapped house wrap, and flashing at every window, door and penetration before the finished cladding ever goes up.
Whether you're re-siding an older home showing rot and fading, or closing in a new addition, the same moisture-first approach applies, in vinyl, fibre cement, or metal panel finishes.
Weatherproofed Before It's Ever Pretty
The finished look matters, but what's behind it determines how long it actually lasts.
- House wrap & flashing first a correctly lapped weather-resistive barrier and flashing at every opening before cladding goes up.
- Material options vinyl, fibre cement (Hardie-style) and metal panel siding, matched to your home and budget.
- Rot repair & sheathing replacement for any damaged wall sheathing found once the old siding comes off.
- Trim & corner detailing clean, properly flashed corners, window and door trim for a finished professional look.
