Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence Regarding SidingJim Wilson From: Sent: To: Subject: Jose Gonzalez <jose@jcaliberconstruction.com> Tuesday, October 19,2021 9:49 AM Andy Schwaller;Jim Wilson; Paige Haderlie lExternall Flashing To all, This email is to address the lack of flashing on the siding, regarding 690 Cattle Drive Silt, CO. We did not use flashing according to code, because the home owner felt it would greatly impact the architectural appearance of the home. JCC took extra precautions in this case to ensure materials would not be compromised. We used board and batten style siding. This consist of 4X8 sheets of rough sawn wood siding. We (JCC) used a solid stain on exterior, to ensure water proofing and protection of the siding, we applied two coats of solid stain to the back of each sheet. ln addition we caulked behind every seam to keep moisture from working its way behind the seams. We finished the front side by again caulking the seams and stapling the material every l-2" and then again when the battens were laid on top of 4X8 sheets. We applied 3 coats of solid stain to the exterior of siding. We understand that not using flashing voided the Manufacturer warranty on the siding material itself. Which only one year. JCC however is very confident in the precautions taken to waterproof and seal the siding, because of this JCC will warranty the siding for the home owners Paige and Zane Haderlie for the next 5 years. As long as the exterior stain is maintained properly. Regards, Jose Gonzalez J Caliber Construction (970) 314-0489 1 Jim Wilson From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Andy Schwaller Thursday, April 15,2021 3:24 PM Matt Provost Jim Wilson; Colleen Wirth J Caliper-- LP SmartSide Siding 0972-001.pdf Josecalledandsaidtheownerdidnotwantthehorizontal buttjointflashingduetothelooks. Thesuppliersaidit voided the warranty not to have the flashing at the horizontaljoints. Jose is going to get a letter describing how they "waterproofed" the butt joint and a letter from the owner wanting the butt joint without the flashing. lf one looks at the application instructions and code, it appears the flashing should be in place. Also with multi-level structures, a "beltline horizontal joint" is required as an expansion joint incase the framing under the siding shrinks. lt is 2- 3/8-inch gap with flashing and a horizontal baton w¡th flash¡ng to cover the filler board behind and provide an overlap for the next piece of siding. Note the framing behind the expansion joint with the attached. I doubt we ever get that in the field. See attached info. This may have been the issues with more than a few other projects where they used the panel style siding and we should discuss once we are all back in the office. Thanks, Andy 1 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS LP TRIM & SIDING .
