Every layer of the envelope —
under one contract
An exterior remodel is a stack of assemblies, and each one only works if the one behind it was detailed correctly. Here is the full scope Serden Group coordinates — our own crew on the build, plus licensed, vetted trade partners for roofing, gutters and specialty work.
Envelope assessment
Before pricing anything we look for the reason you are calling: soft trim, staining below windows, cupped siding, moss lines, a wet crawlspace. Water gets in at details, not in the field of the wall, so we find the detail first.
Rot and structural repair
Sheathing, rim joists, studs, headers and deck ledgers that have taken water get replaced, not covered. This is the line item nobody can quote from the street, so we carry a written allowance and open it up with you standing there.
Water-resistive barrier and flashing
Housewrap or a self-adhered membrane, a rain screen gap where the assembly calls for one, kick-out flashing at roof-wall intersections, sill pans under every window, and head flashing that laps the right way. This is the whole job.
Siding and trim
James Hardie fiber cement, LP engineered wood, cedar or a mix, installed to the manufacturer's clearances and fastening schedule so the warranty survives. Corner boards, band trim, soffit, fascia and frieze detailed to match the architecture.
Windows and doors
Insert replacement where the existing frames are sound, full-frame where they are not — and full-frame is the honest answer more often than the sales pitch suggests. U-factor and SHGC selected to meet current energy code.
Roofing and ventilation
Tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, ice-and-water at valleys and penetrations, ridge and intake ventilation balanced so the attic dries, and step flashing woven correctly at every wall.
Gutters and drainage
Gutter sizing, downspout count and where the water actually goes. Discharging a roof next to a foundation is how a dry crawlspace becomes a wet one, so we route it away or tie it into a drain line.
Decks, patios and outdoor living
Engineered footings and posts, code-compliant ledger attachment and flashing, guardrails and stairs to current code, composite or cedar decking, and covered structures with real roof framing rather than a bolted-on kit.
Paint, permits and inspection
Exterior paint or factory finish, permits where the work requires them, RRP-compliant containment on pre-1978 homes, and final inspection sign-off — plus the manufacturer warranty paperwork registered in your name.
