A siding replacement project can be a transformative endeavor for any homeowner. Whether your home is nestled in the serene suburbs or overlooking the coastal splendor, updating your home’s siding not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also its functionality and resale value. In this post we share some insights into the siding replacement process so you can ensure a smooth and satisfying journey from start to finish.
Understanding the Siding Replacement Process
Before any new siding is installed, your contractor will perform a thorough inspection of your property. This preliminary step involves assessing the existing siding’s condition and identifying any potential underlying issues that could be found during demo and installation. Your contractor will also discuss the permitting process as well required city inspections needed at each step. Selecting a reputable siding company that understands these steps can make all the difference.
Selecting Your New Siding
Many options of siding are available on the market. Select materials that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also suitable for your local climate. The selection process can include personalized consultations with experts to help you understand the benefits of each material. They will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your vision and budget.
The Removal of Old Siding
When the job begins, the first step in the siding replacement process is removing the old siding. This stage is critical and requires meticulous attention to detail to ensure no damage is done to the structure of your home. It also presents an opportunity to fix any hidden problems, such as moisture damage or insulation flaws, thereby enhancing your home’s energy efficiency and durability. The potential for needing new plywood to fix the water damage or the option to replace insulation would be discussed prior to the job starting and would be mentioned on any proposal the contractor provided.
Installation and Quality Checks
The installation phase is where the transformation truly begins. Skilled installers will work diligently to fit your new siding, ensuring every panel is perfectly aligned and securely fastened. This process includes the installation of a weather-resistant barrier, and if you choose to install or replace insulation, critical components for maintaining your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
Upon completion, a series of quality checks are conducted to guarantee the highest standards of workmanship and material performance. This offers peace of mind knowing your home is equipped to withstand the local weather conditions while looking its best.
Post-Installation Clean-Up and Final Walk-through
A successful siding replacement project doesn’t end with the last panel’s installation. Siding contractors thoroughly clean up the site, removing all debris and materials and leaving your property pristine. The second to last step involves a detailed walk-through with you, the homeowner, this is your opportunity to inspect the work, discuss any concerns and have all your questions answered.
