Exterior protection
Thoughtful transitions where weather meets the home.
We address flashing, sealants, and exterior transitions around windows and doors to help water move away from the opening.
Why it matters
Weatherproofing Details, handled as part of the whole opening.
Wind-driven rain, snow, and changing temperatures are part of life in Maine and New Hampshire. The layers around an opening need to work together so water has a clear path outward rather than into the wall.
We look at how the existing wall and exterior finish meet the opening, then plan the details around those conditions. Some layers only become visible during removal, so we communicate what we find and how it affects the work.
