Real Project
Window Replacement in Palms: What We Did
On this house in Palms, we took the old wood siding off the front and both sides and replaced it with fiber-cement lap siding. Behind the old siding we found rotted sheathing; it was replaced and covered with a weather barrier before the new siding went on. We also replaced six windows, patched the stucco at two of the openings, added new rain gutters, and primed and painted the house teal with white trim.
When the old siding came off, the sheathing behind it was rotted in places, like this section below a window.
The rotted sheathing came out and new sheathing went in.
The new sheathing was covered with a weather barrier.
Then the fiber-cement lap siding went on over the barrier.
Six windows were replaced with new-construction units, each one flashed into the new weather barrier.
At two of the window openings, the stucco around the new window was patched.
Then the whole house was primed.
And painted: a teal body with white trim.
The job also included new rain gutters. The work was permitted, and the electrical panel work on the house was done by a licensed electrician.
Buildda Tip
Energy-efficient windows only perform as rated if they are installed correctly. Air leaks around the frame waste more energy than the glass itself. We foam-seal and flash every window opening to building code specifications.

HOAs are present in parts of Palms, and window replacement work often goes through architectural review before we break ground. Typical reviews touch on city zoning codes apply to all properties. We collect approvals as a discrete project phase so the schedule reflects the real start date.
Local conditions in Palms we plan around: mixed-use zoning considerations for multi-unit property owners and smaller urban lot sizes requiring space-maximizing design strategies. We design the scope so these constraints are surfaced before contract, not discovered mid-project.
