Steps to Making a Siding Plan
From budget to final results, there’s a lot that’s involved in planning a siding project. The foundation to a seamless siding installation project is hiring a reputable siding contractor you can trust to walk you through every phase.
Siding replacement is one of the easiest and most visible ways to update your home’s exterior. After all, you want your home to turn heads for all the right reasons! But installing siding isn’t a small job, so you’ll want to make a plan to ensure it goes off without a hitch. For that, proper planning is key.
A realistic budget is key for planning for a siding project.
First, come up with a budget. Be sure to add in some wiggle room in case of delays or material changes. No one wants to deal with unexpected snafus, but they can and do happen. Pad your budget a bit so you don’t get sidelined by these changes. Use this handy cost calculator to help you through the budgeting process.
There are many factors that influence the price of siding your house, including:
- Design and colors you choose
- Size of your home
- Contractor labor required
- Type of siding and siding material
Choose your preferred siding.
Next, explore and decide on which type of siding you want, whether James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, composite or shake. Each comes with its own benefits, so take some time on this step. The one you choose will depend on your budget, your proximity to the coast, your home’s architectural style, and more. Get inspired and discover your style by playing with color. But it’s not just the siding color itself you have to decide on: consider the accents and trim, from gutters to window frames to shutters. Accents such as the front door can add a pop of color if you’re going with an overall neutral theme.
Do your research on reputable companies to help you plan for your siding project.
Lastly, meet with a few contractors and do your research on each company before making a decision. Many factors will help you make this decision, from experience to reputation to the use of quality materials. Once you have narrowed down your decision to Golden Group Roofing, schedule an in-person consultation to kick things off.
Request samples so that you can feel and see each material, review warranty information so you know what’s covered by the contractors and the manufacturer, and discuss budget and cost. If you need help paying for the siding project, there are many financing options that can make it more affordable for you.
