Winter has officially arrived, and this past week reminded us just how challenging—and rewarding—construction can be in the colder months. With single-digit temperatures gripping the area, our team at Marvel Builders continued to make significant progress on the Gilbertsville barn remodel, proving once again that dedication and craftsmanship can weather any storm (or freeze!).
Tackling Flashing and Venting Details
One of the focal points of the week was addressing the barn’s intricate flashing and venting requirements. These elements may not be the most visible, but they are absolutely critical to the barn’s long-term durability and performance. Proper flashing ensures that water is directed away from vulnerable areas, while well-designed venting promotes airflow to prevent moisture buildup and extend the life of the structure. Our team’s expertise and attention to detail have been essential in tackling these technical tasks, especially in the challenging conditions.
DiamondKote Siding: A New Chapter Begins
We’re thrilled to report that installation of DiamondKote siding has officially begun! This premium siding not only enhances the barn’s appearance with its clean, polished look but also offers incredible durability, making it an excellent choice for a structure that needs to withstand the elements. The barn is already starting to take on a transformed appearance, and we’re excited to see this vision come to life in the coming weeks.
Andersen 400 Series Windows: Beauty Meets Efficiency
Another significant area of focus has been the continued installation of Andersen 400 series windows. These windows are a cornerstone of the remodel, offering both timeless aesthetics and modern energy efficiency. Each window installed brings us one step closer to creating a space that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary functionality.
Rising Above the Cold
Working in single-digit temperatures isn’t easy, but our team’s commitment to excellence never wavered. From layering up to staying focused on the fine details, we’re proud of the progress made despite the freezing conditions. Every board, nail, and window represents the hard work and resilience that Marvel Builders is known for.
Looking Ahead
As we move into the next phase of the remodel, we’ll continue building on this momentum. The DiamondKote siding installation will progress further, and we’ll wrap up more of the window installations as we prepare for the next stages of this exciting project.
Stay tuned for more updates as we breathe new life into this barn, turning it into a structure that blends heritage and innovation. Thank you for following along on this journey with us!
