4 Tips on How To Prepare Your Home for a Siding Installation Job

Any home improvement job that will require the help of a contractor will require ample preparation on the side of the homeowner and siding installation is no exception. Siding covers the entirety of your home’s exterior and should be considered a major project. But after choosing the right residential roofing and siding company and going over the timeline, budget, and materials, what else do you need to do?

Here, Versatile Roofing, LLC lists down four tips on how to prepare your home for a siding installation to make sure that the job goes as smoothly as possible.

Tip #1: Clear Away Any Items That Are Near Your Exterior Wall

Roofing and siding contractors recommend putting away things like gardening tools, potted plants, and patio furniture. They should be moved away from your exterior walls to allow workers to move around freely and prevent damage.

Tip #2: Remove Any Wall Hangings

Inside your home, you should put away anything that isn’t permanently attached to your walls such as wall hangings, photos, and shelves. Vibrations from removing old siding and installing new ones may cause anything that is hanging on your wall to be knocked off. 

Tip #3: Keep Your Driveway Clear

Before, during, and after the installation project, you should expect trucks to deliver the new siding materials and haul away the old ones. For this reason, it is important to keep your driveway clear so that workers have easy access to your home. Cars that are parked too close to the work area also run the risk of being damaged.

Tip #4: Trim Your Lawn

Trimming grass around your property makes it easier for workers to use a magnetic nail finder to recover any wayward nails and staples that may have gone astray during an installation job.
