Getting Your Home Ready for Siding Installation

Preparing your home for siding installation is just as important as the installation itself. In this post, snow & ice removal expert Northeast Gutters and Remodeling will walk you through the essential steps to get your home ready for a successful siding installation. 

Planning Ahead

Proper planning is crucial when installing new siding. Start by researching the various siding materials available. Then, select the one that best fits your home’s style, location and climate. Hire a licensed and insured professional siding contractor to ensure a safe and proper installation. Once you’ve found a contractor, schedule a date and time for the installation. However, be mindful of weather conditions that may affect the process and also take precautions.

Clear the Work Area

Clearing the work area before a siding or roof replacement is crucial to ensure a smooth installation process. Remove obstacles such as lawn furniture, potted plants or outdoor equipment that may be in the way. This will provide the contractors with ample space to work safely and efficiently. Also, ensure pets or children are away from the work area during the installation to prevent accidents or delays. 

Provide Access to the Work Area

Clear a path to the work area and ensure they can access power outlets and water sources as needed. If you have specific instructions or requirements regarding entry and exit points, communicate them to the providers beforehand.

Protect the Inside of Your Home

Expect strong vibrations while the old siding is being removed, which can knock down fragile decorative items hanging on your walls or displayed on shelves. Before installation day, make it a point to remove them for the duration of the project. Also, move furniture away from the walls to keep them intact.

Communicate With Your Contractor

Clear communication with your siding installation team is crucial to a successful project. Discuss any concerns or specific expectations you have with the professionals. They will work closely with you to ensure your needs are met and your home is treated with the utmost care.
