Siding in Deptford Township, NJ

Why this sits with the roofing

Because the junction between a slope and a wall belongs to neither trade and fails more often than either. Step flashing that was laid short, a missing kick-out at the bottom of a run, trim that was capped rather than replaced: each of those is a roofing detail wearing a cladding jacket. One crew on both sides of that line means the fix happens once and nobody gets to point at the other trade.

The work we take on here

• Damaged boards

  Split, bowed or storm-pulled sections out and replaced, matched as closely as the material allows.

• Roof-to-wall junctions

  Step flashing and the kick-out detail set out properly where a slope dies into a wall.

• Trim and fascia

  Perished timber cut back to something solid instead of being wrapped and left.

• Dormer cheeks

  Small, awkward, and responsible for a disproportionate amount of what gets in.

• Full elevations

  A face stripped and re-clad once patching has stopped making financial sense.

• Soffit ventilation

  Kept open, because the covering above is relying on the air that enters here.

About matching

Cladding weathers, so new work beside twenty years of sun will not disappear completely. We will say how close it is likely to get before anything is ordered rather than after it is up. On a prominent elevation that often argues for doing the whole face. On a side wall nobody sees, a good patch is simply the sensible answer.

Getting the order right

If the covering is inside its window, wall work waits and goes in alongside it: the flashing is set once and the access is paid for once. If the roof has years left, there is no reason to hold the wall up. The inspection covers both, so sequencing is something we talk through rather than something you have to guess at.
