Project: Existing Siding Replacement Service

RH Renovation NYC completed a comprehensive exterior thermal envelope overhaul featuring damaged siding removal and replacement, structural plywood sub-deck remediation, and Timberline architectural shingle roof installation for a residential property. Exterior cladding and roofing assemblies across our regional service areas are subjected to severe environmental pressures—including driving wind-driven rain, aggressive seasonal nor’easters, extreme diurnal temperature swings, and high ultraviolet radiation that degrades exterior finishes, warps wood framing, and compromises thermal efficiency.

When aging siding and worn roofing allow moisture to penetrate the outer building envelope, trapped water rots underlying structural studs and roof decking while driving up home energy loss. This project was engineered to strip away compromised exterior layers down to the bare timber frame, rebuild the underlying structural substrates, and deploy a synchronized, high-performance siding and roofing system designed for absolute weather resistance, structural rigidity, and superior curb appeal.

Comprehensive Scope of Work & Installation Methodology

To achieve absolute weather-tight security, structural stabilization, and strict compliance with local building codes, our licensed and insured exterior specialists executed a rigorous, multi-phase installation protocol:

• Compromised Siding Extraction & Wall Substrate Audit: The damaged exterior siding panels and weathered house wrap were stripped away to expose the underlying wall framing. Technicians performed a detailed inspection of the exterior studs, replacing any moisture-damaged timber and installing a high-performance breathable weather-resistive barrier (WRB) to block air infiltration while allowing trapped interior moisture to escape.

• New Siding Installation & Trim Detailing: Premium, durable replacement siding was meticulously installed using corrosion-resistant fasteners and precise vertical/horizontal alignment. Custom-molded corner posts, J-channels, and window/door trim flashings were integrated to eliminate water entry points and deliver a polished architectural finish.

• Complete Roof Tear-Off & Plywood Sub-Deck Reconstruction: The legacy roofing layers were stripped away down to the bare timber rafters. Technicians conducted a thorough structural audit of the roof deck, cutting out and replacing rotted, soft, or delaminated plywood panels with thick, grade-stamped structural sheathing to establish a rigid nailing base.

• Advanced Waterproofing & Timberline Shingle Application: Heavy-duty synthetic underlayment and self-adhering ice-and-water shield membranes were deployed across vulnerable deck areas. Premium Timberline dimensional asphalt shingles were then fastened using an enhanced six-nail installation pattern, providing superior wind-uplift resistance and a rich architectural shadow line.

• Perimeter Flashing & Drainage Integration: New heavy-gauge aluminum drip edges, step flashings, and valley metals were installed alongside refurbished pipe boots and ridge vents to ensure seamless water-shedding efficiency.

• Final Quality Assurance & Compliance Audit: A rigorous multi-point inspection verified that all siding alignment, flashing integration, and roofing details met strict manufacturer warranty specifications and local building codes, followed by a complete site cleanup and magnetic nail sweep.
