Exterior Remodeling

Full-elevation exterior refresh, Lehigh Valley, PA

Lehigh Valley, PA

Front and side elevation refresh on a two-story home with weathered trim, failing caulk joints, and inconsistent cladding transitions that were letting moisture behind the siding.

• Damaged siding and trim sections removed to inspect sheathing condition underneath; two areas of soft sheathing replaced before new cladding went back on
• House-wrap laps checked and corrected where previous work had reversed the overlap, restoring top-over-bottom drainage continuity across the repair zones
• Window and door head flashing integrated under the weather barrier so water hitting the wall above sheds over the flashing and out, not behind the frame
• New fiber-cement siding installed bottom-to-top with proper reveal spacing and nailing to allow thermal movement without buckling
• Soffit-to-fascia transitions detailed with aluminum trim and drip edge so water at the roofline moves into the gutter, not behind the fascia board
• Exterior trim joints sealed with paintable polyurethane sealant at prescribed locations only — not used to mask gaps from poor fit
• All upper-story work accessed with extension ladders and staged scaffolding; ground protection in place for landscaping along the foundation
• Final coat of exterior acrylic applied after all caulk, flashing, and trim work cured — not before — so the paint film bridges clean surfaces, not wet sealant

Flashing and weather-barrier details follow manufacturer installation requirements and IRC water-resistive barrier standards.
