How to Ready Yourself for Your Upcoming Siding Installation

Hiring a professional contractor isn’t enough to ensure the success of your siding project. You must prepare yourself to make sure everything goes smoothly with as little stress as possible.

To avoid unpleasant surprises and living through your siding replacement, Krech Exteriors shares what you can do:

Know the Sequence

Ask about the sequence of the project. You wouldn’t know if the job is behind its schedule without understanding which tasks are supposed to be done at a particular stage. This sequence would also tell you what days and times the crew would be in your home.

Furthermore, knowing how the project would unfold allows you and your family adjust accordingly. For The most part, expect noise and the outside to be a no-go zone for kids and pets as your new siding goes up.

Have a Disruption Management Plan

If you live with children, it can be hard to keep your sanity in check throughout a re-siding project. Odds are that you wouldn’t be able to keep your everyday routine, which could cause stress to the young ones.

Make an effort to maintain a sense of normalcy as much as possible. Your home may be in shambles, but you could still have breakfast at the exact same hour. Toddlers might get annoyed why everything is chaotic, so you might need to distract them with play and cuddling. If you have school-aged children or teenagers, give them space to do what they have to do.

Siding Installation

A way to get the best from your siding pros is to make the job site work-ready when they arrive. Make sure to clear all obstructions or hazards, such as garden hoses, lawn ornaments, outdoor furniture pieces, and light fixtures, beforehand. If you have trees close to your exterior walls, trimming them helps your contractor work safely and efficiently.
