🏗️ We Protect Your Home During Installation

 

Careful Flashing & Siding Detach/Reattach

​

Many Illinois homes have roof-to-wall connections where proper flashing is essential. During installation we may need to:

​

• Detach vinyl siding
• Detach fiber-cement siding (James Hardie)
• Replace or upgrade step flashing
• Install new wall flashing or kick-out flashing

​

We perform this carefully and correctly — following manufacturer standards — to ensure long-term waterproofing and not disturb the home’s exterior more than necessary.
