Things can get overwhelming if this is the first time you’re undertaking a project as big as siding replacement. Fortunately, a little bit of advanced planning can help ensure its success. In this blog, window repair and siding installation contractor Allstar Construction of Fargo shares tips on planning for your siding replacement project.
Find Inspiration
Inspiration leads to the best looking designs. While siding replacement is far from designing a house from scratch, inspiration is what drives choices that result in bold new designs. There are many siding styles in addition to traditional lap siding, therefore aesthetics and style are as important as durability, life span and maintenance requirements. You can find inspiration from virtually anywhere: in nature, in places you’ve traveled to and in magazines and websites.
Just like with roofers, it generally is a good idea to work with siding contractors who offer more than one type of siding material. In addition to providing a broad selection of material, color and texture, it lets you consider designs you might not have thought of yet. We also have design experts who can help you turn your inspiration into a siding replacement plan.
Research the Ballpark Price
No two siding replacement projects are the same, when you consider factors such as square footage, material and style. This is the reason why siding contractors never give a price quote until the home exterior is thoroughly inspected. If you’re hesitating because you have no idea what the cost will be, don’t. You can ask friends, family, or colleagues who have had their siding replaced in the past few months. Keeping in mind that your own siding project will be priced differently, you can use the ballpark price as a yardstick on whether or not you want to proceed.
Choose Your Contractor
