 Scope:  Major exterior restoration
 Services: Siding, framing, deck, windows
 Result:  Full structural integrity restored

Project Overview

What began as a request to replace four doors on a two-story home in Rough & Ready, California quickly revealed something far more serious. Once our team began the initial assessment, we discovered extensive hidden damage behind the existing siding – water intrusion that had penetrated deep into the wall cavity, active termite damage throughout the framing, and severely deteriorated structural members that had been compromised for years without the homeowner’s knowledge.
This project is a clear example of why exterior work requires a licensed general contractor – not just a door installer or a siding crew. Addressing what we found required full GC scope: structural engineering assessment, permits from Nevada County, complete framing repair and replacement, new sheathing, a proper weather-resistant barrier, new siding, window replacement, and the construction of a two-story deck that had been planned as part of the original project.
