Siding installation is a fantastic way to improve the appearance and increase the value of your home. To ensure its success, however, preparing both the interior and exterior of your home before the project begins is imperative. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through all the necessary steps to ensure a smooth and successful siding installation.
Clear the Area
Start by clearing the area of any debris, trash, or obstacles that might hinder the installation team’s access. If you have any outdoor furniture, decorations, or plants, make sure to move them out of the way as well. Don’t forget to trim trees or shrubs that could interfere with the installation, and consider giving your neighbors a heads-up about the upcoming project to minimize disruptions.
Prepare the Interior
To prevent any accidental damage during the installation process, it’s a good idea to remove any valuable or fragile items from walls and shelves, as vibrations from work outside can potentially cause these items to fall. To avoid dust and debris, secure stray wires and cables, and cover furniture and floors with drop cloths or tarps.
Park Vehicle Away from the Site
It is best to park all your car somewhere else. Before the actual installation, you can expect your new siding and a dumpster to hold the old siding material to be brought to your house. Clearing the driveway makes room for them and makes it less likely that your vehicle will get damaged by loose garbage.
Communicate With Your Installation Team
Once your home is prepared, it’s essential to maintain open communication with the siding contractor. Discuss any specific concerns or preferences you may have, and work together to establish a realistic timeline for the project. Make sure to confirm the materials and color choices for your siding to ensure your complete satisfaction with the end result.
