This page added in spring 2017 will be from now on Home
exteriors makeovers. New siding, roofing, windows & doors...
Some day ill
move all those pics from elsewhere here too
New patio door. Steel siding so
done remodel style. Without taking off siding. Old
New
Windows on a wood siding and T-1 home. On this one we
cut out around each window and trimmed in new window. Had windows made to
original R.O.
Replacing a patio door. On Vinyl siding we can take
siding off have door made to same size as original R.O.
On this project we found rot, luckily we were able to fix
without demo. As you can see in pictures there is no tape sealing doors and
windows to house wrap. And as I say all the time Vinyl siding does not keep all
the water out, the house wrap is the last line of defense, and without Doors and
windows sealed by tape etc. the system will fail.
Old with Rot, see the nails rusting too...
New
Window replacement.
this is actually three separate replacement style vinyl windows.

Whole Lotsa
Cottage Roof
Cottage, covered
patio, bird house, fish house, out house, covered swing, garage and bunk house.
Up north compound,
had anywhere from two to 4 layers roofing to demo. And we extended the chimneys,
as draft was not good. Little rot too!
Light Gray B4
This home
we have done quite a few projects at. Including the addition on right side, on
which we had matched the roofing.
Had had its roof
redone before the addition, by someone not a roofer or legal business. It
developed several leaks over time, and we found lots wrong. Like wrong nailing,
cut up tar paper from cutting on roof, mis-flashed, the valley not quite right,
a misaligned lapping. Misaligned means that on two rows of shingles the ends
line up leaving only tar paper from there on to stop the leak, where on one
shingle row water will get into that seam.
Oddly enough doing
new windows replacement style is a nice winter project, Just need sunny day in
the 30's
This house had
both front windows put in . We plastic off inside for the bit the windows out.
