Good carpentry isn’t just about knowing how to install something; it’s about understanding why. This week was a masterclass in building science, featuring residential repairs that highlight the importance of proper moisture management and material longevity. Join me as I recap a week of commercial problem-solving and intentional residential builds.

The past week, I had begun a complete fascia and soffit repair for Peach Roofing.

Peach Roofing will be replacing all the shingles on this project. But damage from a fallen tree limb, coupled with years of little maintenance, and various pest infestations, has caused the boxing (the term for soffit and fascia combined) to need replacing.

And the material of choice for this project is fiber-cement.
