Planning a Siding Replacement Project: Where Do You Begin?

New siding will improve the appeal of your home, increase its energy efficiency and can even boost your property’s value. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed if it is your first time planning a siding replacement. However, with the help of a skilled contractor, you can ensure the success of your project. 

Read on for tips on how to start planning your siding project from one of the area’s leading home exterior companies. 

Gather Inspiration

You can gain inspiration by driving around your neighborhood and taking photos of homes with exteriors that you find attractive. Another place where you can gain inspiration is from sites like Houzz and Pinterest. On Pinterest, you can create boards of your preferred home styles and colors. 

Set a Realistic Budget

Your contractor can help you plan the cost of your project. When it comes to major home improvements, such as siding and roof replacement, you must choose your contractor carefully. Experts suggest obtaining at least three estimates from different contractors. Doing so will allow you to compare quotes and determine who offers the best products and services. Keep in mind that a good contractor would not pressure you into signing a contract unless you are ready. 

Finalize the Scope of Your Project

After you have finalized the plan of your project, it’s time to make a list of the materials and labor required for it. The exact materials and manpower needed to perform your siding replacement should be within your budget and schedule. 

Prepare Your Home for the Installation

Your new siding will consume a significant amount of space on your yard or driveway during the project. It’s best to prepare your home even before the construction starts. Place your outdoor furniture and decor somewhere safe in the meantime. It’s also a good idea to remove anything hanging on your interior walls and move furniture pieces away from the walls.
