Why the Details Matter in Hardie Siding Installation 🏠🔨
At Ostrander Construction Services, we believe that the difference between "good" and "great" is in the details. In this video, we’re breaking down two critical installation techniques that keep your home protected and looking its best for the long haul.
In this video, we cover:
The 1/8" Gap Rule: Why we always leave a specific min 1/8" gap at transitions and butt joints. If that gap is too small, your sealant can’t pe*****te deep enough, leading to cracks when the material expands and contracts with Colorado’s temperature swings.
Precision Trim Work: We demonstrate why window trim legs should run past the bottom of the window and the sill trim. It’s not just for looks, it’s essential for proper water shedding and long-term durability.
Taking these extra steps prevents cracking, moisture intrusion, and costly repairs down the road. Don't settle for shortcuts, get the quality installation your home deserves.
