Home Performance 

The measure by which we understand how all of the components & assemblies of a home work together as one comprehensive system.

Why it matters.

In north Idaho we experience the significant affect of all 4 seasons. This means our homes need the ability to not only shelter you from the environment of those seasons, but to do so in a cost effective, comfortable, and long lasting way. We at Bayuk Construction build for a lifetime but not everyone can afford to build a brand new house with all of the high performance bells and whistles. For this reason we offer our home performance enhancement services

Exterior Insulation

Across the building industry it is widely accepted and understood that the most effective way of improving a homes performance is through the use of continuous exterior insulation. We offer this not only to our new construction customers but also as a retrofit for customers looking to enhance not only the look of their house with new siding, but also the performance of the home. After removing siding from the home, we are able to install a Zip system R-9 panel to all the exterior walls before installing our rain screen and re-siding. The zip system panel will change our wall assembly from an R13 to an R22, meeting modern building code. The ability to install exterior insulation attached to a structural panel with an integral WRB means we are providing insulation, air sealing, and moisture protection in one fell swoop. 

Pre finished siding

When considering what siding to go with on your home there are so many options to consider and it can be very daunting.  We at Bayuk Construction stand behind and offer exclusively DiamondKote pre finished siding. An extremely innovative siding system set on an engineered wood substrate, DiamondKote comes with a 30 year fade and stain warranty. This means not only will you not need to paint the house after install, but you will not be subject to the standard 7-10 year re-finish that most painted homes go through. The real genius behind this system goes well beyond the extraordinary finish, DiamondKotes system provides pre assembled component and added features all of which aid an accelerated install time. Contact us today to ask how quickly we can create a home you won't recognize with DiamondKote

Rain screen systems

The key to longevity in our exterior wall assemblies is the concept of a rain screen. This term refers to the creation of an air gap between the structural sheathing/exterior insulation, and the siding assembly. This "air gap" for lack of a better word can be achieved in a number of different ways, but ultimately it serves to create a drainage plane behind the siding. Drainage plane is aided by the stack affect of low and high pressure air movement from high to low. This air movement will keep the siding dry preventing premature rot and mold. It will also keep the siding cooler and elongate the life of the finish. Reach out today to ask us why a rain screen should be under your new siding. 

Doors & Windows

On average, windows account for 20%-25% of a homes exterior wall assembly. This means that when your windows are leaking air and water, it doesn't matter how well you build the wall around them, they are presenting a danger to your homes function and comfort. When we address an exterior improvement, we evaluate the windows in the assembly and provide budget based solutions for improving their performance and function. Services ranging from full replacement to simply ensuring the proper flashing and moisture management details are attended to, we take pride in our understanding and execution of industry leading techniques with the best materials available in the market. Contact us today and ask why our window installs are unique 

The Complete System

For a truly unique service, we bundle these systems in our home performance enhancements service to offer people a one of a kind solution that doesn't cover up issues on homes with "pretty looking" siding installed without the proper waterproofing, drainage, drying, and insulating techniques. Our service allows us to take the time to identify all the concerns that come with renovating old homes and provide solutions that will have your home functioning more efficiently than most new construction.  Reach out today and ask for a free consultation that gets a one on one with a craftsman who can explain why these details matter.
