Exterior siding has a significant influence on the look, insulation, and durability of your house. Whether you choose wood, shingles, metal, or vinyl siding, it is important to work with an experienced company like Angle Ridge Remodeling of Troy, MO, to select and install the best option for your home. Before you embark on this home improvement project, you also need to know what to expect.

What To Expect From A Home Siding Project

1. Less Space

You’ll need to clear out your driveway and any areas surrounding the workspace. Give the technicians ample room to park their trucks, store materials, and work. You may need to rent a dumpster to provide a place for old materials to be discarded. There should also be an adequate and safe connection to power in case the team requires power tools or additional lighting.

2. Unexpected Costs

Like any home repair, you never know what contractors may discover when removing old materials from the surface of your home. There may be issues with leaks, electrical wiring, pests, or insulation. On the bright side, uncovering and repairing any problems that arise will add to the value and safety of your home. On the downside, these might not be easy fixes. Put aside 10 to 20% of your budget in anticipation of these issues — it’s better to be safe than sorry!

3. Vibrations & Noise

Remove shelves, photos, and anything else hanging on the interior walls that may vibrate while the work is being completed. You should also anticipate plenty of noise from drilling and hammering. Although the noise from the construction won’t cause harm, it may disturb pets or small children who require daily naps, so you may want to go somewhere else while the construction is taking place.
