Another Fascia Replacement Completed | Lynnfield, MA

📍 Lynnfield, Massachusetts
🔨 Fascia Replacement • Exterior Carpentry • Rot Repair

Another exterior repair completed on the North Shore.

The existing fascia on this Lynnfield home had deteriorated significantly from years of moisture exposure. Once the damaged material was removed, we were able to properly repair the area and install new fascia for a clean, solid, long-lasting finish.

The before-and-after shows what a difference replacing deteriorated exterior wood can make — not only improving the appearance of the home, but also helping protect the structure behind it from further water damage.

Small exterior problems can become expensive structural repairs when water is allowed to work its way into the building.

Another one done and built to last.

Exterior Renovation Completed | Wenham, MA

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Siding Replacement • PVC Trim • Bay Window • Exterior Door

Another Wenham project officially completed.

This exterior renovation started with aging siding, deteriorated wood trim, and several areas that needed attention before the new finishes could be installed.

The project included:

• New siding on the front of the home
• Replacement of rotted wood trim with durable PVC trim around the house
• New bay window installation
• New metal roof over the bay window
• New exterior door
• Proper weatherproofing, flashing, and preparation throughout

From the work hidden behind the siding to the final trim details, every stage was completed with long-term durability in mind.

The finished exterior gives the home a fresh, clean appearance while replacing many of the high-maintenance and deteriorated components that were causing problems.

Another transformation completed on the North Shore.

The Transformation Is Taking Shape | Wenham, MA

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Siding Replacement • PVC Trim • Exterior Renovation

The siding installation is underway on our Wenham exterior renovation, and the transformation is really starting to come together.

After completing the preparation and weatherproofing, installing the new bay window and metal roof, and replacing the deteriorated wood trim with PVC, we’re now installing the new siding across the front of the home.

This is the stage where all the work underneath begins to show in the finished appearance—but what matters just as much is what’s behind it: proper preparation, flashing, drainage, and weather protection.

We’re getting closer to the finish line, with more siding and final trim details still to come.

Final transformation coming soon.

What We Found Inside These Porch Columns | Swampscott, MA

📍 Swampscott, Massachusetts
🔨 Structural Repairs • PVC Column Restoration • Exterior Carpentry

This project started with one porch column.

Once we opened it up, we discovered that the decorative column base was built from hollow 3/4-inch pine boards. There was no structural framing inside the column to transfer the roof load down to the footings.

In other words, the decorative pine box was never intended to serve as structural support, yet it had been carrying the weight of the porch roof for years.

After rebuilding the first column, the homeowner asked us to inspect the remaining columns. We found the same condition throughout the porch.

Our repair included:

✔ Temporarily shoring the roof to safely support the structure during construction
✔ Building a new structural support system inside each column to properly transfer the roof load to the footings
✔ Wrapping the new column bases with solid PVC sheet material to eliminate seams and help prevent future water intrusion

So far, we’ve rebuilt five columns, and we’ll be returning next year to replace the remaining columns and porch railings.

A porch column should do more than look good—it should safely support the structure above it. That’s why we focus on what’s behind the finish, not just what you can see.

Progress Update | Wenham, MA

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Siding Replacement • Andersen Bay Window • Metal Roof • PVC Trim

Another major milestone completed on our Wenham exterior renovation.

The new Andersen bay window is fully installed, the custom standing seam metal roof over the bay window is complete, and all of the preparation work is finished.

With the structural work, weatherproofing, windows, doors, and trim details completed, the home is now ready for the final phase—the installation of the new siding.

Exterior renovations are built in stages. Every layer beneath the finished siding is just as important as the finished appearance, ensuring the home is protected for years to come.

The transformation is almost here. Stay tuned for the final reveal.

Progress Update | Wenham, MA

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Andersen Bay Window • New Entry Door • PVC Trim Upgrade • Siding Replacement

Another milestone reached on our Wenham exterior renovation project.

The new Andersen bay window has been installed, the new entry door is in place, and the PVC trim details are beginning to bring the project together.

While the finished siding will ultimately draw the most attention, proper window and door installation are some of the most important parts of the project. Flashing, weatherproofing, and trim details all play a critical role in protecting the home from water intrusion and ensuring long-term performance.

This project includes:

✔ New Andersen bay window
✔ New entry door and storm door
✔ Full PVC trim upgrade
✔ Front siding replacement

The transformation is starting to take shape, and we’re excited to share the finished results soon.

What We Found During the Wenham Renovation

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Siding Replacement • PVC Trim Upgrade • Exterior Repairs

While replacing the fascia boards on our current Wenham project, we uncovered a hidden problem.

The front gutter was holding standing water instead of draining properly. Over time, constant moisture exposure had begun affecting the surrounding wood components and contributed to the deterioration we found during demolition.

This is one of the reasons we take the time to fully inspect a home’s exterior while renovation work is underway.

What appears to be a simple trim or siding project can often reveal underlying issues that need to be corrected before new materials are installed.

By addressing these problems now, the new PVC trim, siding, bay window, and exterior details will be installed on a properly repaired and protected structure.

The best exterior renovations don’t just improve appearance—they improve performance and durability as well.

Exterior Transformation Underway | Wenham, MA

📍 Wenham, Massachusetts
🔨 Siding Replacement • PVC Trim Upgrade • Bay Window Installation • Exterior Renovation

Progress is moving quickly on this exterior renovation project in Wenham.

The front elevation has now been stripped, repaired where needed, and wrapped in a new weather-resistant barrier system, creating a properly protected building envelope before the new exterior finishes are installed.

The scope of work includes:

✔ Front siding replacement
✔ Full trim upgrade from rotted wood to PVC trim
✔ New bay window installation
✔ New exterior door installation

The goal is not only to improve curb appeal, but also to eliminate maintenance issues associated with aging wood trim and provide a more durable exterior system built to withstand New England weather.

A successful exterior renovation starts long before the finished siding goes on. Proper preparation, weatherproofing, flashing details, and material selection are what determine how well the project performs for years to come.

Stay tuned as the new siding, trim details, bay window, and door begin to transform the front of this home.

Before & After | Solving the Real Problem, Not Just the Damage

📍 North Shore, Massachusetts
🔨 Exterior Carpentry • Rot Repair • PVC Restoration

At first glance, this looked like a simple case of rotted trim. But once we opened the assembly, we discovered the real cause of the problem.

When this porch was originally built, a pine spacer board was installed horizontally between the pressure-treated framing and the exterior finish board. Unfortunately, that detail trapped water instead of allowing it to drain, creating the perfect environment for moisture damage, wood rot, and carpenter ants.

Rather than simply replacing the damaged materials, we corrected the design flaw.

The rotted components were removed and replaced with a new PVC finish board. We also installed vertical PVC spacers, allowing water to drain properly while promoting airflow between the framing and finish material.

Small details like these make a big difference in the long-term performance of exterior woodwork.

The best repairs don’t just replace what’s damaged—they eliminate the reason it failed in the first place.

Deck Rebuild Completed | Ipswich, MA

📍 Ipswich, Massachusetts
🔨 Hardwood Decking • Exterior Carpentry • Roof & Deck Rebuild

This Ipswich deck rebuild is now complete.

What started as a failing elevated deck with major waterproofing and structural issues below has now been fully rebuilt with a new roof system, protected framing, pre-oiled hardwood decking, and a clean finished railing system.

Every stage of this project focused on long-term durability — from rebuilding the deteriorated structure below, to waterproofing details, to protecting the hardwood decking on all sides before installation.

The final result delivers a warm natural hardwood finish, improved protection for the living space below, and a strong clean layout designed to last for years to come.

Projects like this are built step by step:
structure first, waterproofing second, finish work last.

Thank you to the homeowners for trusting Milton Carpentry Services with this transformation.
