Re-Roof · Hants County
Old asphalt off, deck checked, new architectural laid down.
The original shingles were curling and the granules were piling up at the downspouts. Two of us went up at first light, stripped the field, sistered a soft section near the eave, and laid synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water at the valleys before the new shingles went on.
Architectural Shingle · Valley
Architectural laminates with proper ventilation across the ridge.
The previous roof had been done without a continuous ridge vent. Attic ran hot in summer and iced at the eaves in winter. We cut a slot the length of the ridge, opened up new soffit intake, and laid the new field. The owner reported the back bedroom dropped five degrees inside a week.
Cedar Siding · Hantsport
Felt-papered, lined out, and fastened in straight courses.
The wall was previously vinyl over old wood lap, with no proper drainage plane. We pulled the vinyl, wrapped the wall in a water-resistive barrier, lined the courses, and hand-fit cedar shingles up the elevation. The result will silver out gracefully in the salt air.
Dormer Detail · Valley
The detail you only notice when it leaks.
Dormers are the part of a roof that fails first when nobody pays attention. We cut and step-flashed the side walls, ran ice-and-water at the cheek transitions, and shingled around the unit so the water has nowhere to track but down and off.
Whole-Exterior Reno · Hants County
Stripped to sheathing, wrapped, windows in.
Twenty-year siding pulled, sheathing checked, water-resistive barrier installed properly with taped seams and pan flashings at every opening. New windows went into prepared rough openings. Siding and trim followed in a separate phase.
Flat-Roof Replacement · Hantsport
Down to deck, tapered insulation in, modified bitumen on top.
Twenty-year-old torch-down with a parapet that was wicking water into the front wall. Tore the system down to the deck, fitted tapered insulation to slope toward the drain, and laid a clean two-ply modified bitumen system. Drips into the back room stopped the day we finished.
Window Replacement · Annapolis Valley
Old unit out, rough opening cleaned, new unit shimmed, flashed, foamed.
The old window had been leaking for a season, but the unit itself was fine. The flashing detail was wrong. We removed the unit, prepped the opening with a proper sill pan, set the new window plumb and square, and finished the trim inside and out. No more leak.
Deck Build · Hantsport
Footings to the frost line, ledger flashed, railings to code.
Pressure-treated frame, hidden hangers at the joists, a properly flashed ledger so the band joist on the house stays dry, and railings sized for current code without looking like a fence. Stained the following spring once it dried out.
