Quality from the Studs Out

Our Proven Process for Exterior Redesign and Facing

Changing the face of your home requires precision and an eye for detail. We follow a strict, four-step system to ensure your exterior transformation is seamless, watertight, and architecturally stunning.

Exterior Redesign and Facing Consultation

We start by analyzing your home’s current structure and your style goals. We help you choose a palette of materials—from James Hardie siding to real stone facing—to create a cohesive, modern look that fits the Kootenay landscape.

Surface Prep for Exterior Redesign and Facing

We don't just "cover up" old problems. Our team carefully removes old siding and inspects the underlying structure. We then install high-performance house wraps and flashing to ensure your new exterior redesign and facing is perfectly waterproofed.

High-Performance Facing Installation

This is where the vision comes to life. Our master carpenters install your chosen facing materials with surgical precision. We focus on tight miters, clean transitions between different materials, and secure fastening to handle high mountain winds.

Finishing Details for Exterior Redesign and Facing

The difference is in the details. We finish your exterior redesign and facing with custom trim, soffit upgrades, and strategic lighting. We perform a final site sweep and walkthrough to ensure your home's new face is flawless.

I was beside myself finding someone to build us a fence for the inherited chickens that apparently came with the house we bought. My border collie gave herself the job of herding these poor chickens, and the fence was not keeping her out. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable. A breath if fresh air after non responsive contractors. Payton was my go to builder. They not only built us a dog proof fence, but also a fabulous coop with all the bells and whistles. I will be using these guys again for our renos moving forwards and i highly recommend hand and hammer

Dustin and his team came to my rescue when a tenant left my house in need of repair. Dustin kept in contact with me every step of the way. Not only was he efficient, every member of his team was meticulous and took pride in their work. I am overjoyed with all the work that was done, from painting to plumbing and cabinetry repair. I highly recommend Hand and Hammer if you are looking for a stress free high quality experience for your home projects. Thank you so much Dustin. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with.

We are SO HAPPY thanks to Dustin and his team 😊 We hired Hand and Hammer for an exterior renovation on our log home. The scope of work involved lots of demolition, design and building. Dustin and Brandy were wonderful to work with throughout the project with quick replies and kindness. Peyton and Adam were a pleasure to have around often whistling and singing as they go about their work. They keep a clean and organized site with the help of Lovepreet and Ryder. We look forward to having the team around here in the future. . Dustin was fabulous to arrange everything with. He was super responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Undertaking a major structural renovation is a big decision. Here are a few common questions Cranbrook homeowners ask us before breaking ground on a full home rebuild.

How much does an exterior redesign and facing project cost?

The cost of an exterior redesign and facing varies significantly based on the square footage of your home and the materials chosen. Real stone facing and premium timber accents will be at a higher price point than vinyl or fiber cement. During our consultation, we provide a transparent, tiered estimate so you can choose the look that fits your budget.

Absolutely. One of the best times to add “outsulation” (rigid foam insulation) to your home is during an exterior redesign and facing. By adding a thermal break behind your new siding, we can significantly reduce your heating and cooling bills, making your home more comfortable year-round.

Most residential exterior redesign and facing projects in the Cranbrook area take between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the weather. We work efficiently to minimize the time your home is “stripped,” ensuring the structure is always protected from the elements.

While some materials (like certain paints or mortars) are temperature-sensitive, many exterior redesign and facing projects can be completed in the winter months using specialized techniques. We will assess your specific project and the current Kootenay forecast to determine the most effective timeline for your build.
