Hardie and fiber-cement siding
Review the documented product category, wall and substrate condition, clearances, flashing, openings, moisture interfaces, drainage paths, trim, fastening, and finish requirements.
Siding boards
Identify the exact board material and whether the request involves installation, local replacement, or a broader exterior scope.
Stucco
Separate visible stucco surface work from moisture investigation, substrate concerns, and connected wall work, then state whether repair, installation, or another service is requested.
Brick exteriors
Define brick veneer or another masonry assembly, then distinguish local repair, replacement, mortar work, opening changes, or new exterior work before describing the scope.
What changes the scope
Exterior work depends on the existing cladding, sheathing or substrate conditions, weather barrier, flashing, windows and doors, roof-to-wall transitions, grade and clearances, moisture signs, access, and how much of the elevation is affected. Concealed conditions may require investigation.
Residential and commercial fit
We consider these services for both audiences. Exact commercial façade types, access needs, products, and delivery roles need project-specific review before commercial-specialty language is used.
Where should an exterior review start?
Start with the current material, visible condition, affected elevations, openings and transitions, leak or moisture history, and the result you want. Those details help separate finish work from a larger wall-assembly issue.
