What we find behind old siding

We Don't Cover Up Rotted Wood. We Repair It.

“If we go in and run into some bad wood, we will not just go over it. We’ll actually repair all the damage.”

Tom Bolt, Owner
A tricky job Tom is proud of · Mason

The house was clad in Dryvit, a synthetic stucco.

A moisture meter showed moisture in at least 30% of the framing behind it.

We removed all of it, rebuilt entire walls, shored everything up and reframed. Then we covered it all with plywood and house wrap and gave the house a completely new look.

When we find bad wood
1

We find it. Rotted framing or bad wood can show up once the old siding comes off.

2

We document the repair. Repairing the damage is a charge, and the cost is put in writing.

3

You approve it. We get your approval before the repair work begins.

4

We repair it. The damaged wood is repaired before the new exterior covers it.

"I've got experience in all 3 chains: manufacturing, distribution and remodeling."

Straight Answers to Common Questions

Roof replacements generally run anywhere from about $10,000 to $25,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the roof, how steep it is and the shingle you choose. If rotted decking turns up, it’s priced per 4×8 sheet of plywood, or by the linear foot on older homes with 1×6 board decking.

It depends mostly on how many windows you’re replacing and the material. Vinyl can run from roughly $5,000 for just a few windows up to about $50,000. Wood runs about twice as much as vinyl, roughly $15,000 to $75,000.

Replacement windows →

Tom starts by asking how long you plan to stay in the house and how much life the roof has left. If you’ll be there longer than the roof is likely to last, replacement may make more sense. Some roofs also reach a point where repair isn’t practical, such as when the shingles have lost enough granules to expose the fiberglass mat.

Often, yes. Woodpecker holes and rot are among the siding repairs we handle. But if a repair would only be temporary, replacement may make more sense. On partial jobs, removing one part of the wall can also disturb the siding or trim around it.

Siding repair →

The biggest difference is the look. James Hardie fiber cement is designed to give you more of a wood appearance, which is one reason some neighborhood HOAs allow cedar or Hardie. Vinyl generally costs less. In Tom’s experience, woodpeckers aren’t a problem with either one. Prefinished Hardie gets seven coats of paint at the factory and carries a 15-year finish warranty.

James Hardie siding →

A full-frame replacement removes the whole old window, including the frame, and the inside gets retrimmed. A pocket replacement installs the new window into the existing frame and can preserve decorative interior trim, but you lose some glass area. Tom only uses pocket replacement with existing wood windows, usually when there’s decorative trim worth keeping. Vinyl and metal windows require full-frame replacement.

Construction Solutions installs windows and doors during winter, and James Hardie siding can be installed year-round. Roofing is harder in cold weather, although we still do it.
