Mastering the architectural transition: how to install exterior flares
In short: Learn the precise carpentry technique used to create a seamless flared detail where shingles meet clapboard siding, ensuring a professional finish for your home's exterior.
During this presentation, Tom Silva instructs Kevin O’Connor and Joe, the resident, on creating a flared feature where the lower-level clapboard meets the upper-level shingles. The process involves using a custom-built jig of curved studs to bend plywood into the necessary shape, which then serves as the base for the shingles. This specific detail, which extends above the crown molding at the transition, is applied around the entire perimeter of the house.
