In many cases, homeowners will schedule a vinyl siding installation and then simply wait for the contractors to come. Our professionals at Renovation Team guarantee satisfaction in all our projects, and you can rest assured that we can complete the jobs we were contracted to do. However, it does help if you make a few preparations to make the whole installation go that much smoother. Here are a few tips to get your home ready for a new layer of vinyl siding.
Shutters, Downspouts and Fixtures
To avoid untoward incidents and other delays, clear away all fixtures currently at the designated work area. This means temporarily removing the gutters and downspouts away from the walls. If your home has shutters, you can go ahead and remove them completely. This way, you can also get rid of any rotten sections you may find.
Get Some Housewrap
While your new siding is being installed, one side of your wall will remain exposed. You can minimize any effect the weather may have on your home by using a good quality house wrap. In some places, this is actually a building code requirement. If you can, always go for a breathable house wrap. If you’re unsure about getting one, you can ask our siding and roof replacement services experts for recommendations.
Prepare the Work Area
Our Renovation Team pros are experienced working in all sorts of environment. We’re no strangers to installing siding on walls behind tall and obtrusive vegetation, and we certainly don’t shy away from a project even on rainy days. While there may be other sources of delays, you can keep your project on time and with no additional hitches by getting the work area ready beforehand. This means clearing away debris or maybe even covering muddy spots near the place where the installation will be done.
