🔨 The Details You Don’t See Matter.
Before a door ever gets installed, properly preparing the opening is critical. Here, we’re using flashing tape around the door opening to create a continuous barrier against water intrusion.
Proper flashing helps:
💧 Keep rain and moisture out of the wall system
🪵 Protect framing and subfloor from rot and deterioration
🏠 Reduce the risk of mold and hidden water damage
⏳ Extend the life of the door and surrounding structure
It’s a relatively small step during construction—but skipping it can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs later.
At Rathbone & Company Construction, we believe quality construction is about doing the things that matter even when they’ll eventually be covered up.
Build it right. Protect it for the long haul.
