A siding installation project can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect makes the process much easier. At D&D Contracting, we ensure homeowners are prepared every step of the way, from setting up the job site to the final walkthrough. Here’s what you need to know about our siding installation process.
Preparing for Siding Installation
When starting a siding installation project, there are several steps we take to ensure everything goes smoothly. Before we begin, we always inform homeowners about what to expect.
Interior Preparations
Since installing new siding involves hammering, vibrations can occur throughout the home. We always advise homeowners to take precautions by:
- Removing Fragile Items: Anything hanging on the walls, like pictures, mirrors, or decorations, should be taken down to prevent them from falling.
- Securing Valuables: If there are delicate objects on shelves or tables, they should be moved to a safe place to avoid any damage from vibrations.
Exterior Preparations
Outside the home, there will be a lot of movement as we prepare for the siding installation process. To keep things organized, we coordinate with homeowners about:
- Material Deliveries: Siding materials will be delivered to the job site and stored in a designated area.
- Dump Trailer Placement: A roll-off container or dump trailer will be placed somewhere around the property for trash and debris removal.
- Equipment Setup: Our team will set up ladders, pump jacks, and other necessary equipment for the project.
We make sure all materials and equipment are placed in a way that allows homeowners to continue their daily routines with minimal disruption.
The Siding Installation Process
1. Getting Started
Once everything is set up, our team begins the siding installation process. Communication is key, and we keep homeowners informed every step of the way.
2. Removing Old Siding (If Necessary)
If existing siding needs to be removed, we carefully take it down and dispose of it properly using the on-site dumpster. This ensures the work area remains clean and organized throughout the project.
3. Installing the New Siding
Once the surface is ready, we begin installing the new siding. Our team works efficiently to secure each piece, ensuring it aligns properly and is installed according to the project plan.
4. Keeping the Job Site Clean
Throughout the process, we focus on maintaining a clean and organized job site. As we work, we regularly clean up debris to keep everything in order.
Final Walkthrough and Follow-Up
1. Final Inspection
When the installation is complete, we conduct a final punch list walk with the homeowner. During this walkthrough, we ensure that:
- The siding installation meets or exceeds expectations.
- Everything is completed as discussed at the start of the project.
- Any minor adjustments or touch-ups are made.
2. Post-Installation Follow-Up
Our job doesn’t end once the siding is installed. Within a few weeks to a month after the project is complete, we follow up with homeowners to check on:
- The condition of the siding and its installation.
- Overall satisfaction with the project.
- Any concerns that need to be addressed.
In Summary
At D&D Contracting, we take pride in delivering high-quality siding installations with clear communication and professional service. From start to finish, we ensure homeowners know what to expect and that their project is handled with care. If you’re considering a siding project, contact us today to get started.
