Precision Repairs for the Problems You Can’t Afford to Ignore
Construction defects aren’t just frustrating—they’re expensive, stressful, and can threaten the long-term health of your home. Whether it’s water intrusion from improperly installed flashing, rotting framing behind your siding, or structural issues caused by poor workmanship, these hidden flaws demand more than a cosmetic fix.
At LADA Exteriors, we specialize in identifying and repairing construction defects the right way. With over 25 years of experience working on homes and multifamily buildings throughout the Portland-Vancouver area, our team understands how to diagnose problems at the source—and resolve them with durable, code-compliant solutions that protect your property for decades.
What Is a Construction Defect?
A construction defect is any flaw in the design, materials, or installation of a home’s structural or exterior systems. Common examples include:
- Improperly installed siding or flashing that allows water intrusion
- Poor ventilation or moisture barriers leading to dry rot
- Faulty roofing that causes leaks or pooling water
- Window and door systems that aren’t sealed or flashed correctly
- Structural issues with framing, footings, or decks
- Hidden rot or mold due to poor drainage or waterproofing
These issues often go undetected until it’s too late—when water damage appears inside the home or critical components begin to fail. That’s where we come in.
How LADA Exteriors Handles Defect Repairs
We don’t do guesswork—and we don’t cover up problems. Our process is thorough, transparent, and driven by real building science.
Step 1: In-Depth Inspection
We start with a detailed inspection of your home’s exterior, often working with third-party building inspectors when needed. We trace moisture paths, test flashing points, and check structural components to uncover the full scope of damage—both visible and hidden.
Step 2: Clear Scope & Estimate
Once we understand the defect, we provide a clear, written scope of work that outlines what needs to be done and why. You’ll get a detailed estimate—no vague terms or surprises.
Step 3: Expert Repairs
Our trained crews remove failed materials, correct framing or flashing errors, and rebuild the affected areas to meet or exceed code. We often install new water-resistant barriers, flashings, and exterior finishes like James Hardie® siding or Owens Corning® roofing systems.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Clean-Up
We leave your home watertight, structurally sound, and ready to weather the seasons ahead. Our team performs a final walkthrough to ensure every detail was completed to spec—and we clean up like we were never there.
