Why Choose Siding Contractors in Harwich?
Our Siding Installation Process in Harwich
The process of siding installation in Harwich will be unique depending on your home’s proximity to the ocean, and by extension, the materials being used. Homes on the beach will need the most durable, weather resistant siding materials available. These appropriate and quality materials must also be paired with an installation services team that understands proper installation, and won’t cut corners that will come back to bite you down the line. What follows is a brief rundown of the siding installation process, from start to finish:
1. Preparation: inspect the home, select the materials, and gather the appropriate tools
2. Measuring and Planning: measure the exterior walls and create a basic layout for the paneling
3. Installing the House Wrap: a house wrap creates a moisture barrier between the house and the external elements, preventing any decay from occurring while the old panels are removed
4. Installing Trim: we install the trim around the doors and windows of the home
5. Siding Installation: starting at the bottom, we begin attaching panels one by one, overlapping them to preserve the integrity of the wall
6. Cutting and Fitting: once most of the panels have been securely attached, the oddly shaped gaps are filled in using custom cut panels
7. Final Touches: we install the final top trim, seal up the panels, and perform any remaining clean-up work to leave the new panels looking fresh and brand-new
8. Inspection: we ask you, the client, to help us with a final inspection of the paneling. This gives you the chance to spot any issues and talk to us about them directly before we’ve packed up.
Benefits of Siding Installation
The benefits of siding on your home are readily apparent to homeowners. Quality siding is so important to the integrity of a home that most people have never even seen a house without siding attached, unless it was in the process of being replaced. That being said, there are many lesser known benefits to getting your siding replaced. Here are a few siding benefits:
- Siding Repair: if your siding is only failing in certain spots, there’s no need to replace everything. Professionals can easily perform spot repairs on your siding that will last a long time. However, if your siding style is less common, it may be more difficult to find the matching materials. In the case of the latter, a full replacement siding may be in order.
- Durable Siding: Depending on the types of materials used, quality siding can last literal decades. The durability of the siding will always come back to how much you’re willing to invest in the materials. Wood can last you a decade or two, with proper maintenance, but vinyl and aluminum siding will get you much farther with only minor maintenance.
- Insulated Siding: If your home is bordering on antique and the siding hasn’t been updated in a long time, it’s likely your current siding is lacking in insulation. By investing in siding replacement, you can massively boost your energy efficiency.
- Weather Protection: recent weather patterns have been noticeably shifting toward extreme weather phenomenons. With extreme weather comes increased risk of danger, and durable siding is the first line of defense between you and those unpredictable forces of nature. You might save a buck or two going with a cheap, under-experienced contractor, but you have to ask yourself if it’s really worth it to put your safety on the line? It’s certainly not our place to answer that question for you, but there’s a reason we take so much pride in our work—because it’s truly important.
