Waterproofing a Sunroom in Locust Hill


We're working on a house in Locust Hill on the Rappahannock River and moisture seems to be the enemy of the client. These are long time, loyal clients.

As we already knew, not a bit of protection against the elements under the vinyl existed (and vinyl is designed to be installed over just such house systems). We've taped the seams between the wood elements, added a drip edge and drip cap above the doors, taped that using a different house tape to the first layer of house tape, then covered the whole mess with Tyvec. Once the hardi goes on and is painted and caulked, they're going to have 4 layers of moisture barrier!


We also did some interior renovation on the sunroom/studio with said water damage.

We refinished the floors and installed custom shelving.
