Replacing your old exterior siding is a project that will boost your home’s aesthetic and function. Apart from it being an affordable endeavor to tackle, new siding will provide your home with many measurable benefits. These include an increase in property value, better comfort and lowered home maintenance and repair bills.
Skyline Contracting, your local siding and roofing company, shares the important steps you need to take when replacing the siding on your home.
Getting Inspired
Drive around the neighborhood, and check out the facade of homes you pass. Stop, and take photos of the exterior, noting the styles and colors that pique your interest. You may also browse the web for ideas. Do your search on Pinterest – you’ll surely find thousands of images of homes with siding, complete with tags to help with your search.
Setting Up Your Budget
At this point, you’ll want siding pros to help you with the project planning, particularly in creating the budget for it. You need to factor the material and labor costs in your budget as well as the contingencies in case the project hits an unexpected road bump.
Starting the Project
Once you are certain about the budget you prepared, begin obtaining information about the best siding material to replace your current one. Secure quotes from as many home improvement contractors as possible. Upon finding the right one that fits your budget, work with that contractor, and finalize the whole project. Take into account schedule and the materials needed as well.
Preparing Your Home
A re-siding project often takes up space on the perimeter surrounding the outside of your home. Before the project’s start date, take the time to prepare your home. Remove any obstructions to keep everything clear and to ensure a smooth flow during the installation process.
