Victorian Kitchen & Bath Remodel Project

Exterior Cladding for a Queen Anne Victorian Video

Bob is with contractor Tim Berky as they clad the exterior of the Rowley Victorian. Berky explains that they will follow the cues from the original 1890s exterior of the home. The top of the addition will copy the molding cap at the roofline with a frieze board, cornice molding, and planchard at the top of the clapboards. New clapboards are also being installed on the addition. Berky needed to match the existing siding so that no inconsistencies would show. He created a story pole to show where the existing clapboards are so they can match on both sides, even with a 1 5/8-inch difference from side to side. The clapboards have their smooth side out, finished with a mill glaze that will take a painted finish well. Berky nails in the new clapboard by lining up the new clapboard along the top of the previous row.
