Please be aware: siding installation is a major construction project. This checklist is provided to help you prepare your home and avoid delays, damage, or safety issues.
Top 3 Homeowner Priorities Before Siding Installation
-
Clear the Driveway the Day Before Installation
- A clear driveway allows materials to be delivered and staged safely, reduces delays, and helps protect vehicles and property.
-
Protect Interior & Exterior Belongings
- Installation creates vibration. Remove wall décor inside and relocate outdoor furniture, grills, and décor away from the work area.
-
Plan for Children & Pets
- Construction zones involve falling debris, tools, and loud noise. Please keep children and pets safely away from the work area.
This siding installation checklist is designed to help homeowners prepare their property so the installation can proceed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
