Siding is your home's first defense against weather and other elements, much like the skin on your body or the bark of a tree. Essentially, it protects your house from wind, rain, sun, and other temperature extremes. Plus, it has a serious impact on its overall appearance and aesthetic.
Choosing Siding Materials
As an exterior covering, siding is generally made of boards or sheet materials, the most popular of which are vinyl, wood, fiber, cement, metal, and stone. Thanks to this range of options, you can enjoy nearly any texture or color for your home!
- Vinyl: Made from PVC resin, vinyl siding is inexpensive and durable. It can even mimic certain textures like wood.
- Wood: A more traditional option, this siding uses wood like cedar, pine, and fir. It's a great insulator thanks to its natural composition, and it can be stained to make the grain pop.
- Fiber cement: Using a combination of wood fiber, cement, and sand, this material can look like wood or stucco. It's also designed to resist mildew, mold, and pests, making it lower maintenance.
- Metal: Most often used for commercial buildings, metal siding can also work for residential thanks to its durability and ease of maintenance. They come in shingles, panels, and tiles.
- Stone: The classic and popular brick and stone siding likewise requires little maintenance and will not fade like painted colors do. Plus, it's fire-resistant.
Preparing Your House for Siding Replacement
Once you've decided to work with a local Ohio contractor to replace your siding, you can start prepping your house for the project. No two jobs are the same, of course, but there are a few common aspects that nearly all siding projects have in common.
Completing a few simple tasks can help speed up the work on your home and keep your property safe throughout the construction. For example, the crew will need access to power for their tools, so it's a good idea to have easy access to a 20-amp circuit outlet. Likewise, you'll want to remove anything that could potentially hinder movement or making it difficult to reach your exterior walls, such as patio furniture.
Inside, you can make other preparations as well. Siding removal and installation will likely cause your walls to shake, so take down anything that hangs on the walls or sits on nearby shelves. Don't allow any objects to lean against the walls, either.
What to Expect Before Construction
Your new siding, as well as a dumpster for debris, may be delivered to your home a day or two before the installation crew arrives. Certain municipalities require a permit for the dumpster along with construction permits, but experienced contractors like those at Property Partners of Apple Creek can handle all of this for you!
