Beyond the Paint: The 89% Rot Reality on the Treasure Coast Siding
Most contractors build to the “Minimum Code.” We build for the 20-year storm. Here is the mechanical integrity you usually won’t see once the siding goes up:
- The 6/4 Nail Pattern: While industry standards vary, we tighten the grip by nailing 6 inches in the field and 4 inches at the seams. This ensures your 5/8″ ADA-certified plywood stays anchored to the studs during 150+ MPH negative pressure events.
- The “Bone-Dry” Seal: We install a full blanket of house wrap to dry in the project immediately, then tape every single joint with Tyvek tape.
- Custom Metal vs. Tape: The local industry standard is often just tape flashing, but tape can fail in Florida’s intense heat. We use metal flashing on field joints and on all doors and windows on gable ends.
- The “Splash Flash”: We install a custom metal splash flashing at the bottom of the plywood. This prevents “bounce-back” rain from soaking into your sheathing—a critical move that no inspector asks for, but every Florida home needs.
3. Bundled Efficiency: Save 20-25% on Windows wile we are there on siding.
Because we are already on-site with the scaffolding up and the walls open, we can integrate your
and siding into one seamless weather barrier. This “Once and Done” approach allows our customers to save 20-25% on their window costs because the setup is already in place.
