What happens if you don’t wrap a house before installing siding?

• <div><p>Not wrapping a house before installing siding can lead to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and even higher energy bills. Older houses may have siding installed without wrap underneath, so it’s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion—local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority. </p></div>

Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of brick or stone siding?

• <div><p>These materials are durable, low-maintenance, and offer excellent insulation and aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Q: What color vinyl siding fades the most?

• <div><p>While any dark color of vinyl is likely to fade, dark red and dark brown vinyl tend to fade faster and more noticeably compared with other dark colors. White is the color least likely to fade, but it will show stains, mildew, and dirt more prominently than darker colors.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my siding is damaged?

• <div><p>Look and feel for signs of damage after a hail storm. On vinyl siding, there will likely be cracks or holes. If you have steel or aluminum siding, look for dents and cracked or chipped paint. For wood and fiber cement boards, dents are the most common sign of hail damage.</p></div>

We hired Tom and his crew to repair/replace an old wood deck attached to our barn, replace siding and a sliding glass door. He worked fast, was knowledgeable, and did quality work. He came out promptly to give an estimate. The only downside was that he wasn't able to start the job as quickly...
