Local field notes
A Bend house has its own to-do list.
The expensive mistakes usually happen between trades, seasons, or assumptions. A little planning up front goes a long way.
Water management matters
Roof edges, gutters, flashing, grading and drainage are boring until they are not. Solve water paths before cosmetic finishes.
Sequence big work
Roofing, exterior flashing, siding, windows and interior repairs can overlap. Ask who owns each transition before work starts.
Plan for four seasons
Snow, freeze-thaw, dry summer sun and smoke all affect materials, scheduling and maintenance.
Check the paperwork
For bigger projects, confirm licensing, insurance, permits when required, written scope, change-order process and HOA approval if applicable.
Quick checklist
Before you hire someone
Save this list before you start collecting bids.
- 1
Get the scope in writing - not just the total price.
- 2
Ask what is specifically excluded from the bid.
- 3
Confirm who handles permits, inspections and cleanup.
- 4
For exterior work, ask how flashing, drainage and weatherproofing tie into adjacent materials.
- 5
Compare payment schedules, warranties and change-order rules - not just the bottom-line number.
- 6
Photograph hidden conditions before they are covered back up.
