Exterior Carpentry in Vermont

Siding, fencing and additions run on the same framing and flashing standard as the decks, because it is the same work with a different finish on it. Most of these jobs start as a conversation on a deck estimate.

Exterior Work Beyond the Deck

Jobs that share materials, tools and weather with deck building, which is why they sit here rather than with a general contractor.

  • Newly built horizontal slat privacy fence in pressure-treated pine by Empirical Renovations in Vermont

    Fence Building

    Privacy, picket and horizontal slat fencing on frost-depth posts. Same footing logic as a deck, for exactly the same reason.

  • Empirical Renovations carpenter exposing rotted subfloor and framing at a doorway during a water damage repair in Vermont

    Rot and Water Damage Repair

    Soft subfloor, failing rim joists and framing that has been drinking for years. Usually found where a deck, door or window meets the house.

  • Segmental block retaining wall with capstones and a planted bed above, built by Empirical Renovations in Vermont

    Retaining Walls and Hardscaping

    Block walls that hold a grade and give you level yard back. Compacted base and drainage behind, which is what stops a wall leaning out after a few winters.

  • Charcoal lap siding meeting a light grey corner board on a newly sided Vermont home by Empirical Renovations

    Siding Installation and Repair

    Replacement and patch work, flashed properly at every penetration. Often the first thing found once a deck ledger comes off the house.

  • Empirical Renovations crew lifting a glass patio door into a second-storey opening above new deck framing in Vermont

    Door and Window Installation

    New openings cut, headed and flashed, or tired units swapped out. A door onto a deck is a structural opening rather than a trim job, and it leaks if the head flashing is wrong.
