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.

Ever wonder why we install divider boards (breaker boards) and use joist tape on our deck projects? It’s all about longevity and aesthetics. 🛠️

Divider boards aren’t just a design choice, they allow us to transition decking directions, which hides seam gaps and adds a custom "picture frame" look to your deck. Meanwhile, joist tape is our secret weapon against rot. By sealing the top of your joists, we prevent moisture from penetrating the wood, ensuring your sub-structure lasts as long as your beautiful new composite boards.

Is your deck built to the proper level?
A properly installed deck and ledger are essential for both safety and long-term performance. In most cases, there should be a **minimum 4" clearance from your doorstep to the bottom of the door to help ensure proper fit and function.

Don’t guess when it comes to your home’s safety and structural needs.

Ostrander Construction Services is here to help.

You never know what you’re going to find inside an old mountain home.

On this project, we opened up the floor to investigate a noticeable bounce and discovered a makeshift beam and support system underneath. Instead of properly supporting the structure, the added framing was creating uneven weight distribution and contributing to the problem.

This is exactly why careful investigation matters. What looks like a simple floor issue can sometimes point to a much bigger structural concern hidden below the surface.

At Ostrander Construction Services, we take the time to find the real cause of the problem, not just cover up the symptoms.

🏗️ Lifting and moving, entire historic structures.
🪨 Removing original cobblestone foundations, and pouring brand-new ones while the house literally floats above us, like a dig site.
🛠️ Navigating the unique structural challenges of Colorado’s oldest mining towns.

With over Thirty years of working on these "hard jobs" has taught us how to think, and build, outside of the box. If your home has a complex history, a major structural need, or a project that requires a specialized touch, put our experience to work for you.

Remodeling isn’t always about ordering lumber, sometimes it’s about making our own. For this custom deck project we’re cutting trees, sawing logs into planks, and milling those planks down into perfectly fitted deck boards. Doing it this way gives us full control over grain, thickness, and fit so the finished deck is truly one-of-a-kind and built to last. Interested in a custom deck or remodel that starts from the ground up?

Contact Ostrander Construction Services at 720-498-0758 to schedule a time for us to come out look at your future project or projects.
