The challenge

The real picture emerged behind the siding

The storm damage was visible on the home's exterior. Once the old siding came off, deteriorated wood came into view too. The restoration needed to deal with that hidden damage, not just replace the finish over it.

Construction scope

Several parts of the home, one restoration

REHAB coordinated vinyl siding, selected replacement windows and their surrounds, gutters and gutter guards, plus related interior finishes. The homeowner used the opportunity to choose a new siding color. The completed work and the carrier's estimate weren't identical; the invoice exclusions are explained below.

Workmanship

What goes underneath matters too

Repairs included concealed wood and sheathing, the surface behind the siding. Photos follow the exposed wall, the weather-resistant barrier and the new siding through to the finished window details. The work addressed both the visible exterior and the damage found behind it.

What went into the work

  • Vinyl siding replacement and homeowner-selected color
  • Concealed wood/framing and sheathing repairs documented during siding removal
  • Weather-resistant barrier under new siding
  • Selected replacement windows and associated trim/finish work
  • Gutters, downspouts and gutter guards
  • Related interior drywall finishing and painting

Behind the project

An estimate that grew with the work

As the work was documented, REHAB prepared a detailed construction scope for the carrier to review. The carrier revised its approved replacement-cost estimate from $19,174.21 to $43,353.80, an increase of $24,179.59.

What was left out of the work

The invoice record deducts $3,269.94 for specific AC, deck and fence items marked Work Not Being Done (WNBD). It also lists a separate $275 flat-roof repair. Some work in the carrier's estimate was therefore excluded; these records don't establish a final REHAB invoice total.
