Weatherproofing & Moisture Protection

House wrap and weather barrier installation: the layer that actually keeps the wall dry

Siding sheds most of the water, but the weather barrier behind it handles what gets past. It has to be right, because nobody sees it again.

House Wrap & Weather Barrier

No siding is completely waterproof. Wind-driven rain gets behind it, and the weather-resistive barrier, usually house wrap, drains that water down and out while keeping the sheathing dry. Installed carelessly, with wrong laps, torn sheets or unflashed openings, it fails exactly where the water needs it to work.

We install weather barrier on every siding project across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We lap each course shingle-style so water drains outward, tape seams and penetrations, integrate the barrier with window and door flashing in the right order and repair any tears before the siding goes on.

FAQ

Common questions about house wrap

Is house wrap really necessary?

Yes. It protects the sheathing and framing from water that gets behind the siding.

Can new siding go over old wrap?

Sometimes, if it is intact. We inspect it and replace it when it is damaged.

Which house wrap should I use?

Several products work well. Correct installation and flashing matter more than the brand.
