Jake Bruton walks through an exterior renovation of a 1990s home in the Kansas City area, addressing common weaknesses in the region's single-wall construction. The project focuses on improving insulation, air sealing, water management, and overall home performance without significantly changing the home's exterior appearance. Bruton explains how the team removes the existing siding and wall materials, upgrades the insulation, adds exterior insulated sheathing and a rainscreen, and installs new siding. He also highlights details around the wall base, moisture protection, ventilation, and an unused chimney as the retrofit moves forward.
