Adding new siding to your home is a great way to boost curb appeal and value, and when you begin the project, you want to be confident the job is being done right. Choosing a qualified siding contractor is the best way to start, but with so many in your area, it’s not always easy to make a selection. To ensure you hire the right team for the job, ask the following questions during interviews to get a gauge of their experience.

Ask These Questions Before Hiring a Siding Contractor

1. What’s Your Experience?

Installing siding requires experience, which is why you always want to go with a siding contractor that has plenty of it. Ask to see their previous work and discuss their level of experience with projects similar to yours. They should be proud to demonstrate their skills and address any questions you have about their abilities. You can also request references to get an idea of their customer service.

2. Are You Licensed?

Your state or local government may require that a siding contractor is licensed to work. This not only ensures that they’re legally allowed to provide their service, but that they are capable of providing quality work and adhering to building codes. Additionally, ask if they’re insured, so you know that any accidents will be covered. They shouldn’t hesitate to provide paperwork for either.

3. Who Is Doing the Work?

Some companies will contract their work to third-parties during busy seasons. If the company employs subcontractors, ask if they will be working on your home. If the company plans to hire outside work, request information about the team’s licensure, experience, and credentials. Though many subcontractors are vetted and properly covered, some companies may hire inexperienced workers. Verify that the team working on your project is reliable, so you can relax once work is underway.
