Building Renewal LLC will accompany you through your project, identifying areas that might need attention. We will provide pricing for replacements while offering multiple options.
In the case of rot issues, we won't necessarily suggest replacing large sections of siding if only a few parts need attention. Large-scale siding replacements should involve an assessment of the existing weather-resistant barrier, exploring additional insulation options. Simply adding inadequately detailed house wrap, 1/4" foam board, and insulated vinyl siding might marginally improve the 'r' value of your wall assembly, offering limited benefits at best. If a contractor claims significant 'r' value increases, it's advisable to request written documentation. Improper foam thickness can lead to unintended consequences in some cases.
Uncovering hidden rot issues, even after multiple trim replacements (like the ones seen below), isn't uncommon.
However, many contractors only address what's in their contract, neglecting to disclose additional findings. At Building Renewal LLC, we'll add drip caps where necessary, install missing flashing, and identify rotted areas rather than simply covering them up for future repairs. Anyone can fix what happened - we prefer to fix why it happened.
