The Challenge: Water Infiltration and Deteriorating Wood Siding
The existing wood siding on this home in The Kingsway had deteriorated over time, and the homeowners were dealing with water infiltration. Before new siding could be installed, the existing material needed to be removed so the condition underneath could be properly addressed.
Kubura Siding removed the aging wood siding and repaired the damaged substrate before moving forward with the new exterior installation. Addressing the underlying condition first provided a sound base for the new James Hardie fiber cement siding.
What We Found & How We Addressed It
Once the original wood siding was removed, the damaged areas underneath could be properly addressed. Kubura Siding repaired the affected substrate before preparing the exterior for the new siding installation.
- Removed the aging and deteriorated wood siding.
- Exposed and assessed the damaged areas underneath.
- Repaired the damaged substrate where required.
- Prepared the exterior for the new siding installation.
Repairing the underlying damage before installing the new siding was an important part of the project. With the affected areas addressed, the home was ready for its new James Hardie fiber cement exterior.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Installation
After the deteriorated wood siding was removed and the damaged substrate was repaired, Kubura Siding installed new James Hardie fiber cement siding on the affected exterior areas of the home.
