Installing new siding on your home is not a project that can be done in a few hours. Between prep work, removal, and installation, the process can sometimes take up to two weeks. If you have a siding replacement project on the horizon, Cincinnati’s Superior Products wants you to know what to expect during the siding installation process.

When you know what to anticipate before your siding installation, you will be much better prepared to handle any surprises or challenges that may arise during the process. Here are the three main phases of re-siding and what you should expect:

• Initial Teardown: Before installing new siding, the contractor and their crew must first remove the old siding. The initial teardown may cause your home’s interior to shake, so protect any wall hangings or shelved valuables beforehand.
• Re-Siding: During the re-siding process, your yard will be filled with heavy equipment, dumpsters, and portable restrooms. If your siding contractor notices any water damage after removing your old siding, they will need to repair it before moving forward. Once your home is ready for the new siding installation, your contractor will apply a weather-resistant barrier to your home and even out your exterior walls. Next, they will lay your new siding and seal the joints tightly to protect your home from water.
• Final Touches: Once your siding installation is finished, it’s time for a paint job. To make the process easier, choose a pre-primed brand of siding. If your painter uses a sprayer, move your vehicles and other outdoor equipment away from your home to avoid splatter damage. After one final inspection, your new siding project will officially be complete.
