Your siding makes up the majority of your home’s exterior. As such, it’s in your best interest to ensure that it’s always in good condition so that it can continue to enhance your home’s curb appeal as well as its energy efficiency. If you currently have outdated or damaged siding, one of the best ways to rejuvenate your exterior is through a siding replacement project. However, not a lot of homeowners clearly know the process behind it. Here’s what you should expect during a siding replacement project.
Pre-Construction Phase
Before the construction, your contractor should send a dumpster for refuse material along with your new siding to your home prior to the installation day. However, some regions require a permit for dumpsters or rental bins, so make sure that you coordinate with your local authorities and contractor so that you don’t encounter any issues.
Re-Side Work
When your siding contractors arrive, they will inspect your property and then set up their working spaces. Afterwards, they will remove your current siding and will clean up all of the waste that has accumulated during the process. They may leave their scaffolding for the meantime as the job is ongoing.
Repairing Hidden Issues
Once your siding has been completely removed, your contractor might spot hidden issues that need to be addressed before moving forward. It’s better to fix them since leaving these issues alone could cause your new siding to deteriorate quicker.
Installing Your New Siding
Once all the issues have been addressed, your contractors will install your brand-new siding after adding the weather-resistant barrier to protect your home against the elements. Afterwards, they will tidy up and install other trim materials. Keep in mind that a job of this scale can take anywhere between 7 to 14 days, but can vary depending on the weather or hidden issues encountered.
