APT Construction manages full exterior renovations for homeowners in Molalla who need to replace multiple failing systems at once rather than addressing them piecemeal over several years. You may be looking at a home where the siding is cracked and faded, the windows no longer seal properly, the roof has lost shingles, and the trim paint is peeling in sheets, all of which signal that the exterior has reached the end of its serviceable life. This service combines siding replacement, window installation, roofing, painting, and structural repairs into a single coordinated project, allowing APT Construction to sequence the work efficiently, maintain consistent material quality, and deliver a unified result that protects the home and improves its appearance.

The renovation begins with a detailed assessment of all exterior surfaces, including inspection of wall sheathing, window framing, fascia boards, and roof decking to identify hidden damage that would compromise new materials if left unaddressed. Work typically proceeds from the top down, starting with roof replacement to protect the home from weather during the rest of the project, followed by window installation, siding replacement, and final trim and paint. Each trade is scheduled to follow the previous one without gaps that would leave the building exposed, and materials are staged on site to avoid delays. In Molalla, where rain can interrupt outdoor work for days at a time, careful scheduling and use of temporary weather barriers keep the project moving and prevent water intrusion into wall cavities during construction.

Contact APT Construction to schedule a full exterior consultation and receive a comprehensive plan that addresses all repair and replacement needs in a single project timeline.

You will notice that the home looks cohesive, with all materials and colors selected to complement each other rather than showing the mismatched patches that result from fixing one system at a time. The siding will be tight to the wall with no gaps or warping, windows will close smoothly and seal completely, and the roof will shed water without leaks or missing shingles. Interior temperature control improves because new windows and properly installed siding reduce drafts, and energy bills often decrease as the building envelope becomes more efficient. APT Construction coordinates each phase so that flashing, trim, and caulking details integrate correctly, preventing the common failure points where different materials meet and water typically finds a way inside.

Painting is completed after siding and trim are installed, using primers and topcoats suited to the substrate and expected exposure. All wood trim is primed on all sides before installation to prevent moisture absorption, and caulking is applied at joints before the final coat goes on. Gutters are installed or replaced to work with the new roofline, and downspouts are positioned to direct water away from the foundation. Any rotted fascia, soffit, or framing discovered during demolition is replaced with treated or primed lumber before new materials are applied, ensuring that the renovation does not simply cover up problems that will reappear in a few years.

This service does not include foundation repair, landscaping, or interior remodeling, though APT Construction can coordinate with other trades if the project requires work beyond the building envelope. Full exterior renovations are planned to minimize disruption, with clear communication about work schedules, material deliveries, and access needs throughout the project.

Homeowners in Molalla often ask about project timelines, how weather affects the schedule, and whether it makes sense to replace everything at once or phase the work over multiple years.

How long does a full exterior renovation take?

Most projects are completed in four to eight weeks depending on the size of the home and the scope of structural repairs, with delays possible if extended rain prevents roofing or painting work from proceeding safely.

What are the benefits of doing all exterior work in one project?

Combining services reduces overall labor costs, allows better coordination of flashing and weatherproofing details, and delivers a finished appearance where all materials and colors work together, rather than the patchwork look that comes from fixing one surface every few years.

When should I replace windows during an exterior renovation?

Windows are installed after the roof is complete but before siding goes on, so that flashing and trim can integrate properly with the new wall surface and prevent water from entering around the window frame.

Why does APT Construction inspect sheathing before installing new siding?

Sheathing that has been wet for extended periods loses structural strength and may not hold fasteners securely, so replacing damaged sections before siding installation ensures the new surface is supported by solid backing and will not sag or buckle over time.

What happens if the project uncovers additional damage?

Any structural issues found during demolition are documented and discussed before proceeding, with repair costs and timeline adjustments provided so you can make informed decisions about how to address problems that were hidden behind the old siding or roofing.

APT Construction provides detailed project plans, transparent estimates, and consistent communication throughout the renovation to ensure the work stays on schedule and meets your expectations.
