The Outer Banks is unique in many ways; one thing being the weather. Persistent winds, and driving rains are a distinguishing feature of our coastal environment. These conditions test the life of all exposed exterior products ,and your siding is your first line of defense. Traditional cedar lap siding , even maintained in the upmost fashion, with frequent repaint and caulking maintenance, has a life expectancy of 15-20 years .
We at Macko Construction, set ourselves apart from other re-siders by following a stringent set of procedures before we install the 1st new piece of siding. During our 15 year history, we have developed flashing and siding techniques, that go the extra step to ensure layers of protection. We are unique in offering a drainage system option installed between siding and felt layers. We promote the use of cementious siding products from James Hardie or Certainteed. They provide superior performance, resist rot and decay, and termites have no appetite for them. Additionally they come in a variety of prefinished colors that don’t have to be repainted for 15 years or more and are backed by superior warranties. We also use composite trim for windows , door openings and soffit overhangs and eaves. Our crews follow our window installations procedure, with custom pan flashings. Our use of copper to replace deck flashings also separates us from the crowd.
Our experienced crews maintain knowledge through manufacturers’ certifications and training programs. They are supervised by our management and ownership team.
