Questions to Ask a Siding Installation Contractor<\/h1>\n

Siding is an excellent investment for homeowners who are weary of dealing with paint and the ongoing maintenance involved. Siding is versatile, low-maintenance, and protects your home against weather and pest infiltration. Other benefits of siding include improved curb appeal and energy efficiency. But before you start contacting companies, do your research and compose a list of questions before you sign with a siding installation contractor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Types of Siding<\/strong><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

A siding contractor will meet with you to select the best siding for your home and the climate. There are other types of siding besides vinyl, for example, fiber cement, wood, or James Hardie. Other factors the siding contractor will consider are your budget and personal taste. This is also a good opportunity to ask the siding contractor what brands they carry. The goal is to find siding that is high-quality, durable, meets your aesthetic, and is at a desirable price point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Previous Work<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

If you go online, most siding contractors will have a photo gallery of their work on their websites. You can always ask for examples of previous work or references from satisfied customers. And be sure to check customer reviews. Google, Yelp, and home improvement ratings websites are good sources for reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Licensed\/Insured<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

Always ask a siding contractor if they are licensed and insured. By being licensed, a siding company demonstrates that they have the training and expertise to meet industry standards. It also means that they can pull any necessary permits. Insurance protects the company and you from any damages or accidents that may occur during the installation to person or property.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Warranties on Labor<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

A reputable siding contractor will offer a warranty on labor. This guarantees that the contractor will stand behind their work and if any issues arise during the installation, the contractor will correct them at no additional cost to you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Energy Efficiency<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

Ask the siding contractor about the R-value which measures the thermal radiance of the siding insulation. The higher the R-value the more insulation the siding provides, thus improving energy efficiency. If the R-value is lower than what you\u2019d like, additional exterior insulation can be added. Your siding contractor should be able to install the new insulation or make recommendations for another company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
