Price after we see the cavity
A driveway number on an envelope is a guess. The first visit includes opened spots so the estimate is about the wall you have.

Building Envelope Replacement
When the leak is the wall and not a single window, the scope is the envelope: cladding off, wet sheathing replaced, a new weather barrier, flashed openings, then the new skin. We do that on low-rise Eastside buildings. It is the commercial version of the moisture inspection we offer homeowners — except the recommendation is usually to open the wall, because someone already waited.
Included in this scope
- Selective openings to confirm the assembly before a full price
- Sheathing repair and a new weather-resistive barrier
- Window and door flashing tied into that barrier
- New cladding in fiber cement or metal
- Photo documentation for the ownership file
Details that change the result
Residential sister
The same judgment, on a house, is the moisture and WRB inspection. Start there if the building is a single-family home.

Questions
Before you call
Is this a waterproofing contractor?
We replace exterior wall assemblies and flash them. We are not a below-grade waterproofing shop, and we will not bid a plaza deck we do not build.
Can you phase an envelope?
Yes, elevation by elevation, as long as each phase is dried in. A half-open wall over a weekend is not a phase.
