Five stages. Written scope. Fixed price.
1. Diagnostic walkthrough. Moisture meter readings, photo documentation, and a working hypothesis on where the water actually entered.
2. Targeted exploratory. When the path is not visible from outside, we open a small, strategic section to confirm the framing condition and verify the diagnosis before committing to a full scope.
3. Written scope and pricing. Fixed price for the rebuild plus contingency lines for any further damage that might surface, priced in advance so there are no surprise change orders.
4. Rebuild. Replace damaged framing, install the corrected flashing detail and weather-resistive barrier, and reinstall the cladding, deck membrane, or finishes that were removed.
5. Walkthrough and warranty. Final inspection, photo record of the rebuilt detail, and a written workmanship warranty.
