Replacing the siding on a residential home involves several steps, from preparation to the final finishing touches. At ASAP Painters, we take pride in our professional approach to every siding replacement project, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Here’s how we do it:
Inspection and Assessment: Before we start, we, at ASAP Painters, inspect the existing siding to determine the extent of damage and any underlying issues (e.g., rot, mold, or insect infestations). This helps us identify areas that need additional repairs.
Material Selection: You choose the new siding material (vinyl, wood, fiber cement, etc.), and we provide recommendations based on climate, durability, and aesthetic preferences.
Permits: In some areas, replacing siding requires a permit. As a professional company, we handle this part for you if needed.
Site Protection: We protect the area around your home by covering plants, windows, doors, and the ground to guard against debris. We use drop cloths, tarps, or plastic sheeting to catch falling materials.
Stripping the Old Siding: We carefully remove the existing siding, typically starting at the top and working downward to avoid damaging the underlying structure.
Disposal: We haul away the old siding for proper disposal or recycling, depending on the material type (vinyl, wood, aluminum, etc.).
Inspection of the Sheathing: Once the old siding is removed, we inspect the sheathing (the layer of wood or material beneath the siding) for damage. Any rotten or compromised sections are replaced or repaired.
Additional Insulation: If needed, we add or replace insulation to improve energy efficiency.
House Wrap or Felt Paper: We install a moisture barrier (like Tyvek or felt paper) over the sheathing to prevent water infiltration. This is crucial for preventing mold, mildew, and rot in the wall structure.
Sealing Joints and Openings: We take extra care to seal around windows, doors, and any other openings to keep water out.
Starting at the Bottom: We begin the installation of new siding at the bottom of the wall and work upward, ensuring each panel overlaps the one beneath it. This ensures that water runs off the siding without getting behind it.
Final Inspection: We clean up any paint splatters or debris from the area, leaving your home neat and tidy. We then do a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards.
Installing Trim: We add trim around windows, doors, corners, and eaves to give the house a polished, finished look and cover any gaps between the siding and framing.
Sealing Gaps: We apply caulk or other sealants to joints and edges to prevent drafts and moisture infiltration.
Painting (if applicable): If the siding requires painting (like wood or fiber cement), we either paint it after installation or during the installation process.
Clean-Up: We clean the work site, removing any debris or waste materials. We make sure to check for leftover nails, screws, or siding pieces.
Final Inspection: We conduct a final inspection to ensure the siding is properly installed, the house is well sealed, and the project meets local codes and your expectations.
This entire process typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size of your home, the type of siding you choose, and weather conditions. As a professional company, ASAP Painters ensures that every step of the process is done with care and precision, guaranteeing the highest quality results for your home.
