House Wrap and Weather Barrier Installation

The hidden layer that keeps wind-driven rain out of your walls: wrap, tape and flashing installed in the right order.

Behind every good siding job is a layer most people never see. House wrap and flashing form the weather barrier that stops wind-driven rain, which gets behind every kind of siding, from reaching the sheathing and framing. Siding is the first line of defense, but it is the barrier behind it that actually keeps the wall dry. When it is missing, torn or installed backwards, walls can hold moisture and rot in places no one sees for years.

We install wrap from the bottom up so each layer laps over the one below like shingles, tape seams and penetrations, flash windows and doors in the correct order and integrate the wrap with roof edges, decks and foundations. Details like sill pans, head flashing and tape around fasteners matter far more than the brand of wrap. If your siding is coming off, this is the moment to fix the barrier. We show you photos of the walls before we cover them back up.

Lapped like shingles

Each course of wrap overlaps the one below, so water is always led down and out, never in.

Taped seams

Seams and penetrations are taped, which keeps wind-driven rain from sneaking behind the wrap.

Flashed openings

Sills, jambs and heads of windows and doors are flashed in order, the most common weak point in any wall.

Photos before cover-up

We photograph the finished barrier so you can see what the siding is protecting.

Questions

House Wrap and Weather Barrier FAQ

Is house wrap necessary?

Yes. It is an important part of a siding system and a standard requirement in modern building practice.

Which house wrap is best?

Quality matters, but installation details such as laps, tape and flashing matter even more.

Can wrap be added over old siding?

No. It belongs against the sheathing, so old siding has to come off first.

Does wrap help with energy use?

It reduces air leakage, which can improve comfort and efficiency.

How long does wrap last?

It is designed to last behind siding for many years when it is not exposed to sun for long periods.
