Re-Siding Mistakes to Avoid
Some homeowners are tempted to install new siding directly over the old because this seems less costly than starting over from scratch. This is typically a mistake though, as the old siding can inhibit the performance of the new.
Another mistake homeowners make during a siding installation project is not doing a moisture damage inspection. This is a necessary first step, since addressing existing moisture damage ensures that you avoid structural problems in the future.
How We Ensure a Smooth Process
We begin by conducting preliminary inspections on your siding and exterior walls and repairing any issues. Next, we ensure that your new siding system is installed with a weather-resistant barrier. Vinyl siding has ample elemental resilience, but it’s always best to invest in the maximum weather-resistance. We recommend you have us apply HardieWrap® weather barrier. Most building codes actually require it now, and it effectively bolsters your siding’s weather resilience. When you work with us for your complete home remodeling project, we make sure that your new siding is installed properly and accurately in accordance to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
As James Hardie Siding contractors, we want to make sure that your new exterior wall covering completely protects your home and enhances your property’s curb appeal. Peace of mind is what you get when you enlist our aid for your new siding installation project.
