Nichiha Fiber Cement Board Siding and Fluid Applied Air Barrier – Arnold, MO

October 12, 2018

Five Star Auto Body in Arnold, MO is constructing a new building with United Construction as the general contractor.  This auto body shop is not a typical auto body shop building.  The front facade is Nichiha fiber cement board siding over steel studs with sheathing and a fluid applied air barrier.  It’s elegant design, high end finishes, and extremely high quality standards make this building similar to a new luxury car dealership.  We were chosen by United Construction to install the Nichiha and drainage barrier on the building along with the structural steel stud framing, drywall, taping, insulation, and acoustical ceilings.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of craftsmanship from our carpenters and drywall finishers.

We’re near 100% complete on the Ladue Horton Watkins School addition project working with SM Wilson as the terracotta contractor.

We’re very grateful to have been selected by SM Wilson and the school district on another project.  Especially one as unique as this one.
