Transparent exterior siding overlay project in Sandy. For this budget-conscious project (~941 sq ft), the homeowners opted to bypass standard tear-off procedures and have the new siding applied directly over their existing cedar. Direct Overlay Method: Per the customer's strict request, this project excluded demolition, sheathing inspection, and Tyvek housewrap. The siding was secured directly over the old cedar (Note: installed with NO warranty as this bypasses our standard weatherization protocols). Premium Material Upgrade: Sourced and installed high-quality HeartTech Double 4" Dutchlap Vinyl Siding to provide a fresh, durable exterior shell. Bold Color Pivot: While initially quoted in a different tone, the final siding was beautifully executed in the deep, striking "Nightfall" colorway. Crisp Framing: Highlighted the dark primary siding by framing the windows and edges with contrasting "White" 5/8" J-channels, completed with standard window head and sill flashings.
