Usually, you would have to seek permits and approvals from the local authorities before you can proceed with the installation. Each city has different rules regarding the kind of siding that you can install as well as other related details. It’s important to check these and file any relevant documents in advance so they won’t cause delays later on.

Prep Your Home

If there are any trees or shrubs close to the walls of your home, we recommend trimming them, as they would get in the way of the installation. Make sure to remove any lawn ornaments and furniture from the area as well. Since installing siding involves hammering nails in your home’s exterior, it might cause some of the nails on the inside to pop through so keep an eye out for these. By keeping the area around your home clear, you can help make your siding installation as fast and smooth as possible.

Find A Reputable Contractor

The success of your siding installation will largely depend on the contractor you hire for the project. To get a list of possible companies, you can ask for referrals from friends and interview your top picks. You can ask them about their experience in doing similar work and if they have any photos of previously completed projects. Make sure they understand what you want in terms of the material and color of the siding. You should also ask them about the coverage and length of the warranty they offer for their work.
