A siding replacement can be an exciting project to tackle. It can boost your curb appeal and increase your home’s energy efficiency. To ensure your project is smooth-sailing and without any problems along the way, you need to prepare your home days or weeks before the installers arrive. Exterior Building Solutions shares a few tips to keep in mind.
1. Clear the Outdoor Area
The outside of your home will become a work zone where the installers will do their work. Before they arrive, make sure to stash away gardening equipment and other tools lying around. Relocated potted plants and pieces of outdoor furniture as well. Less obstructions means faster and more efficient work for the siding pros.
2. Take Down Items Hanging Inside Your Home
The walls inside your home may vibrate as the installers remove your old siding. After you’re done cleaning the yard, remove items hanging on your walls such as photo frames and art pieces. Don’t forget to keep fragile items that may be knocked down from open shelves, including flower vases and other interior décor, in a safe place.
3. Park Your Car Near Your Home
If you have a vehicle parked in your driveway, consider taking it out and leaving it in front of your home. The driveway will serve as a staging area for the siding installers, where they’ll place the new siding panels that will be installed. They may also bring a dumpster for disposing of the old siding material.
