Siding replacement can feel like a new home entirely!
The Siding makes all the difference
While no two jobs are the same, there are some steps that nearly all siding replacement projects have in common.
A complete siding remodel typically takes 7 to 14 days for an average two-story home, moving through consultation, old siding removal, and final installation. The process involves loud noises and exterior crew activity.
At Oliwill Construction, with flexible financing options, we can jump-start your project while comfortably spreading the financial impact.
Before Construction Begins
- Site and home prep: Clear outdoor furniture, decorations, and potted plants away from exterior walls. Take down fragile items hanging on interior walls, as hammering and tearing off old panels will cause walls to vibrate and things to fall.
- Access and power: Provide a clear outdoor power outlet or run an extension cord from the garage, and ensure trim or shrubs touching the house are tied back.
- Material delivery: Expect a large dumpster and your new siding materials to be dropped off in your driveway a day or two before the crew arrives.
During Demolition and Repairs
- Tear-off: Crews strip away your old siding down to the raw wood or plywood sheathing.
- Hidden damage discovery: Workers check for rot, mold, moisture damage, or compromised structural framing. If rotten sheathing is found, expect a discussion or change order to replace it before new work continues.
- Weather wrap: A protective house wrap or weather-resistive barrier is installed over the walls to block moisture while allowing vapor to escape.
Installation and Cleanup
- Siding and trim application: New panels, corner posts, and customized blocks for electrical outlets and water spigots are installed.
- Debris control: Crews use magnets in the yard to sweep up stray nails and metal fragments, though you should still watch out for stray sharp bits immediately after.
- Final walkthrough: Inspect the finished work with your contractor to check window seals, trim lines, and overall cleanup.
