In our wet climate, keeping a wood frame house dry is the single most important factor for durability, preventing mold, and long term customer satisfaction and referrals. Plus, the more energy efficient the house, the harder and more important it is to keep it dry. Effective flashing and moisture control methods can easily prevent this all-too-common and costly source of callbacks and liability claims.
