Tips for Preparing Your Home for Siding Installation

Siding replacement is a crucial investment because it will not only boost your home’s curb appeal but will also impact your home’s energy efficiency. However, to ensure that your project’s goals and timeline are met, you and your home must be properly prepared for the entire process. 

In this article, Dior Construction enumerates tips for getting your home ready for a trouble-free siding installation project. 

Remove Fixtures Near the Work Zone

Go outside your house where the siding installation will take place. Remove window shutters and other similar fixtures that will be a hazard to the workers. You’ll also need to uninstall your gutter downspouts and place them somewhere more secure. If you’re not sure how to do this, you can ask your contractor for help. 

Clear the Areas Around Your Exterior Wall

Before the installers arrive, make sure that all parts of the exterior wall are accessible. Relocate furniture, ornaments and other items that will block the work area. Your lawn must also be trimmed in case your contractor needs the space to store the new siding materials and park the dumpsters for the old panels.

Remove Overgrown or Unwanted Plants From the Site

Overgrown vegetation can cause leaves, pine needles and other such objects to get into your gutters and cause clogging. To prevent this, keep your trees and shrubs trimmed with at least 10 feet of clearance from your house. Doing this will also make it easier for your siding installers to find small materials that have fallen in your yard during the installation. 

Take Down Your Wall Decorations

The hammering on your home’s exterior can cause your interior walls to vibrate. Remove any items hanging on your walls to keep them safe from damage. During siding replacement, you can also cover your furniture to protect it from dust and debris.
