Siding, roofs, windows, decks, and porches.
Exterior work protects the building enclosure while updating visible finishes. Roofing, siding, windows, decks, and porches each have different weather, access, and approval considerations.
The written schedule accounts for expected weather limitations and describes how open roof or wall areas will be protected during the work.
What exterior work usually covers
- Tear-off and disposal, with the sheathing inspected for rot once it is exposed
- Ice-and-water barrier at eaves and valleys, underlayment, and new roofing
- Siding with proper flashing at windows, doors, and every penetration
- Window and door replacement, including sill and header repair where needed
- Deck framing to span and footing requirements, with composite or wood decking
- Porch repair, railings, steps, and trim carpentry

Flashing and water management
Flashing at windows, doors, roof intersections, and penetrations is part of the water-management system. Existing conditions are inspected as areas are opened, and related repairs are documented in the scope.
Decks have footing and span rules
Deck requirements vary by property and jurisdiction and may cover permits, footings, spans, guards, stairs, and attachment details. We confirm the applicable filing and design requirements before finalizing the scope.
Landmarked and historic districts limit materials
Work on an individual landmark or a building in a New York City historic district may require Landmarks Preservation Commission review, including exterior work not visible from the street. We confirm property status before materials are ordered.
Common questions about exterior remodeling and decks.
Can you do the roof and siding at the same time?
They can be coordinated under one scope when site conditions and scheduling allow. The estimate explains the sequence and responsibility for shared flashing details.
Composite or wood decking?
Composite and wood differ in price, appearance, installation details, and maintenance. We compare current product specifications and costs for the project rather than assuming one material fits every home.
What happens if it rains mid-job?
Exterior work is sequenced in sections and protected from forecast weather. The agreement explains how weather delays affect the estimated schedule and how any scope change is handled.
