Home with Wood Rot in Columbia, MD Gets Major Upgrade with New Siding & Window Trim
When our team first visited this Columbia, MD property, we were met with a common yet concerning issue: severe wood rot plaguing the home’s siding. The aged wooden facade had succumbed to moisture, leading to decay and compromising the home’s structural stability. This deterioration not only marred the home’s appearance but also raised worries about long-term damage and energy inefficiency.
The homeowner selected Presidential Exteriors based on our track record of delivering high-caliber work and remarkable transformations that caught his eye. Seeking a reliable, long-lasting solution, he entrusted our team with his vision, knowing that our unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail would bring his dream to fruition.
Laying the Groundwork through an In-Depth Consultation
Our consultation process was centered on fostering a deep understanding of the homeowner’s vision and requirements. Collaborating closely with the homeowner, we offered expert advice on exterior upgrades that would not only enhance curb appeal but also boost energy efficiency in the long run.
Discussions revolved around options like durable Hardie siding for enduring protection and minimal upkeep, as well as modern, energy-efficient windows to combat drafts and lower utility costs. We meticulously planned timelines and budgets to align with their aspirations while ensuring a seamless and satisfying experience.
Selecting Durable Home Upgrades with Hardie Siding and More
For this impactful project, we began by addressing the homeowner’s primary concern: the severe wood rot. By carefully removing the decaying wooden siding, we prepared a clean canvas for the upcoming transformation. The installation of premium Hardie siding not only refreshed the home’s look but also ensured its durability for years to come. To complement this makeover, we updated the door and window caps, adding a refined touch that tied the exterior together seamlessly.
Subsequent to the siding replacement, our meticulous team engaged mold remediation experts to tackle the mold issue in the chimney caused by trapped moisture within the decaying wood.
We enhanced the home’s functionality and appearance by upgrading the soffits and gutters, safeguarding it against potential water damage. Framing the windows with matching Hardie trim not only completed the cohesive look but also enhanced the home’s weather resistance and sealing.
Superior Siding & Decking Materials for Long-Lasting Results
As part of the home addition, we handled framing and concrete work, providing a strong, stable foundation. To meet the homeowners’ desire for durability and lower maintenance, we installed Mastic Fullback Insulated Siding in Deep Granite with white trim and a Trex Composite Deck in Foggy Wharf. Presidential Exteriors’ expertise as a Mastic Elite Pro Contractor and commitment to energy efficiency were key in delivering a superior result. We also integrated Versatex Composite Trim for clean, crisp edges and added lasting detail.
Midway through the project, we adjusted the grade and added a step to manage the necessary slope away from the house, ensuring proper drainage. We also installed rake boards to the sidewalls, repaired shingles, and clad the boards to allow water to drain effectively, protecting the home from future damage.
From Decay to Durability
The initial challenge of wood rot evolved into a triumph of resilience and elegance. The homeowner now enjoys a structurally sound and visually striking abode, fortified to withstand nature’s elements and the test of time. This project epitomizes our dedication to excellence, ensuring that every homeowner receives not just a repair but an upgrade that enhances their living experience.
