Protect Your Home from Hidden Water Damage.

At Ewell Construction, we specialize in building paper replacement to ensure your property is fully protected against water intrusion. Over time, the original building paper (also known as weather-resistant barrier or WRB) can degrade, tear, or become ineffective — leaving your home vulnerable to leaks, mold, and costly structural damage.
Whether you’re noticing signs of moisture inside your walls or planning a remodel, replacing old or damaged building paper is a smart, long-term investment in your home's durability and value.

​FAQs – Building Paper Replacement​

Q: How do I know if my building paper needs to be replaced?
A: Common signs include water stains inside walls, peeling paint, warped siding, or evidence of mold. An inspection can confirm the condition of your WRB.

Q: Can you replace the building paper without removing all my siding?
A: In most cases, siding needs to be temporarily removed to replace the building paper properly. We take care to protect and reinstall or upgrade your exterior.

Q: What kind of building paper do you use?
A: We use premium-grade WRBs, including asphalt-saturated kraft paper, synthetic wraps, or hybrid membranes, depending on your project and climate exposure.
​
Q: Is this a good time to upgrade siding too?
A: Absolutely — it’s the ideal time to replace or upgrade your siding while the WRB is exposed, saving labor and costs later.
