A Handy Guide to Preparing Your Home for Siding Replacement

Adequate preparation before your siding replacement can help make the project run smoothly and finish on time. In this post, Homecraft® Inc. shares some essential tips on how you can make sure your home is prepared for your siding replacement project.

Get Rid of Overgrown Vegetation Near Your Home’s Exterior

Trim trees and shrubs that might interfere with the siding installation. Doing this will also allow the installers to easily find and pick up nails, staples or other small objects that could fall during the replacement. If you have a garden, cover it with a cloth to prevent it from catching debris or being damaged.

Remove Any Obstruction From Your Yard

Potted plants, gardening equipment and outdoor furniture are among the items that can cause hazards during an installation. Relocate them to another area that won’t be accessed by the workers. This will provide enough space for the installers, allowing them to finish the job on time.

Take Down Items Hanging on Your Interior Walls

Normally, walls inside a home vibrate during siding replacement. That’s why you should remove artwork, photos and other decorations hanging on the walls. If there are shelves or tables near the walls, move them away or be sure they’re free of fragile items. Store these objects in a secure place to prevent them from falling and breaking during the installation. 

Relocate Your Car

At least a day before the siding crew arrives, you can expect the dumpster and your new siding to be delivered. This means you need to relocate your car and clear your driveway and garage to make way for these items. All entryways must remain accessible until the project’s completion because workers will need a large space to haul and take out old siding materials.
