The preparation stage is one of the most important phases of any home improvement project. By laying down good plans, you lay down a good foundation—literally and figuratively. All you need is a solid plan combined with enough flexibility to cover unforeseen situations.
As the area’s premier siding contractor, allow us to give you a handful of tips to help you prepare for your upcoming siding installation.
Apply Housewrap
More often than not, home improvement ventures tend to be a bit messy. Protect your valuables so they won’t get tarnished or even damaged in the process. You can put valuables in storage so they’ll be far from harm’s way. For items you can’t move, housewrap should provide ample protection.
Remove Fixtures
Trees or shrubbery may cause undue delays if they are in the way and need to be trimmed back. Dealing with these issues before the project begins can help keep things on schedule throughout.
Don’t Forget Insulation
The installation of vinyl siding is the ideal time to install sheathing as well. This can add insulation value to your walls for adequate weather protection, especially with winter fast approaching.
Have a Contingency Plan
Just like any other home repair or improvement project, a siding project can be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The cost might also go up unexpectedly if your contractor discovers damage that needs to be repaired before the installation can proceed. This is why it’s vital to set aside a contingency fund so you can have enough leeway.
