Garage doors open up the space for indoor outdoor entertaining and also serve to allow flood waters to pass through with minimal damage to exterior walls.

Foam insulated exterior walls and roof decking provide an air tight, quiet, and extremely energy efficient thermal envelope.
The green zip board wall sheathing with all joints taped and sealed provides for an water resistant and air tight thermal envelope. House wrap just doesn’t do the job by the time you pierce it with thousands of nails. The zip board coating seals to the nail shanks. Duorock (cement board) was used for the stucco substrate for durability and impact resistance.
Bo and JP Install the peal & seal sub roof which keeps the roof water tight if a shingle gets damaged during a hurricane. It also qualifies the home for an insurance discount.
We use green Zipwall structural sheathing to create a water resistive, air tight, and highly energy efficient thermal envelope structure. All joints are sealed with zip wall tape. This system is far superior to house wrap which doesn’t stop water and air infiltration very well once you punch thousands of nail holes in it when installing the siding. The green Zipwall coating seals to the nail shanks.
