- You have selected a certified siding contractor and mapped out your goals for your siding replacement project. It is high time you start arranging things around the house and prepare for the actual siding installation. But first, you need to fully understand the in’s and out’s of the process in order to effectively manage your expectations and ensure a smooth-sailing home improvement experience.
- Removal of Old Siding — Before your new siding, whether vinyl, wood or fiber cement, can be installed, your current wall cladding structure needs to be properly removed. To do this properly, your contractor will assess the wall underneath to spot signs of rot and other water-related damage.
- Preparation of Wall — Just like a roofing contractor looking for a soft and spongy decking, your contractor needs to accurately gauge the condition of the wall beneath the siding and repair it so your new siding can be installed correctly. Keep in mind that a large part of your siding’s appearance and stability will depend on the barrier it is placed on.
- Installation of Insulation — Your siding contractor will make sure that your home is adequately insulated before completing the installation of new siding. This exterior addition will help manage the amount of moisture that goes into the home.
- Installation of New Siding — The final step in siding replacement is the installation of your brand new siding. If the material of your siding requires paint or finish, it will likely take a few days to apply after all of the sections of your siding has been installed.
