Sidings and Trims

At our home renovation project underway, once the windows are in and the water vapor material wraps the structure, the siding and window trims are installed.  The windows are trimmed to match the existing windows of the home, and consist of a labor-intensive process of trimming boards and profile trims precisely. Once the flashing is installed over the window trims, the siding is installed.  The siding, too, has been ordered and installed to match the width of the siding on the rest of the home.

All of these steps are a time-honored system that effectively wraps the home in a water-shedding shell.
Though today, a combination of wood and Hardie board is used (fiber-cement siding material), once painted, all of these surfaces will look like they've been a part of the home forever!




In addition, a new railing has been installed that wraps the perimeter of the roof over the family room and covered patio extension.  This railing helps to visually tie the addition to the home.


While all this has been happening on the exterior of the home, great progress has been made on the pool renovation, and interior walls and cabinetry are being installed.  Wait till you see!
