Final inspection, care guidance and cleanup

Before the first panel

Start with the existing wall condition, penetrations, windows, doors, rooflines and related exterior details. A good scope identifies what is known, what needs inspection and what could change.

The wall assembly

Weather-resistive barriers, flashing, insulation and drainage details are part of the performance conversation. Do not compare quotes that make different assumptions as if they were identical.

Installation and finishing

Panels or boards, corners, trim, openings, soffit, fascia and eavestrough transitions should be reviewed together. Finishing is where many visible differences between scopes become apparent.

After installation

Ask how the completed work will be inspected, what maintenance is expected and how future repairs or colour matching should be approached.
