Water damage usually starts where nobody can see it.
On this project, we removed the old wood siding and discovered serious rot hidden inside the wall caused by years of moisture getting behind the exterior.
What we completed:
• Full removal of old wood siding
• Structural wall repair and replacement of all rotted materials
• Installation of new Tyvek weather barrier
• Brick chimney removal and repair of heavy water damage hidden behind it
• Careful rebuilding and sealing of the exterior to help prevent future problems
The goal was not just to “cover it up”, but to repair the house properly from the inside out.
A lot of exterior problems in Nova Scotia homes stay hidden for years until the damage becomes serious. Proper waterproofing, ventilation, and detail work matter more than cosmetics.
If your siding is old, soft, leaking, or showing signs of moisture damage, it is better to inspect it early before the repairs become much more expensive.
We focus on quality work, honest communication, and repairs done the right way.
