Remodeling Terms, or Say What? | Troutdale

   When you start the process of remodeling your home, you may get a little lost in the jargon used by your contractor and other building professionals as they talk about your project and what's being done. 
Mud: Plaster, stucco and other liquidly material used to coat a surface. 
Slump: Refers to the consistency of wet concrete.
EIFS: Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, usually a stucco-like finish applied to the exterior of a house. 
Fiber Cement: Usually refers to siding, like James Hardie siding products. This type of siding is very durable, but generally requires knowledgeable, professional installation to avoid problems later. 
Stud: A vertical part of the framed wall, set a proscribed distance apart within the wall. 
Top Plate/Bottom Plate:The top and bottom parts of a framed wall. 
Valley: The lowest point on a roof. 
Truss: A pre-fabricated, triangular wooden structure used in roof construction. 
Demo: Not a demonstration, this term refers to demolition! 

What other terms have you heard that you didn't immediately understand on your home improvement project?
