This project involved the restoration of a severely deteriorated exterior wall assembly where extensive concealed structural damage was discovered after demolition.
Due to the hillside location and existing building conditions, substantial structural reinforcement was required to safely support the structure while damaged framing and wall components were replaced.
The project included structural repairs, engineered reinforcement, insulation replacement, plywood shear wall installation, waterproofing, flashing upgrades, new exterior siding, trim, fascia, and complete exterior painting.
All work was completed in compliance with current building code requirements and successfully passed all required inspections.
The result is a fully restored exterior envelope providing long-term structural integrity, weather protection, and improved appearance.

Construction Highlights:
After demolition, concealed deterioration was discovered within the exterior wall assembly. To safely perform repairs, additional structural support and reinforcement were installed to stabilize the building while damaged framing members were removed and replaced.
A new plywood shear wall system was installed to improve structural performance and meet current code requirements. The wall assembly was then rebuilt with new insulation, waterproofing, flashing, siding, trim, and paint to create a complete weather-resistant exterior envelope.
