Word - Siding

The client decided to construct awnings over the windows on the backside of the house to eliminate the sun heating up the house during the peak of the day in the summer. We had to come up with a detail that would be in keeping with the look of the rest of the house. I had a local sawmill mill the timber to a specific size to fit the look I wanted to achieve. He also milled 1" material for the roof sheeting. The awnings were then installed, knotched around siding and flashed properly to insure no future water intrusion. Whenever you add details to the outside of the house you invite a potential for water to find a way in or sit on a surface and cause rot. it is important to always think about those details when designing those special elements on the house.
