Who to Side With
Refreshing Your Home’s Exterior
Your old aluminum siding has seen better days, having served your home for over forty years. You're ready for a change and want to tackle the work yourself. However, it's crucial to consider a few things before diving in.
Aluminum siding was likely added for a purpose, possibly hiding damaged original siding or, worse, asbestos. Removing it is straightforward, but be prepared for surprises underneath. If asbestos is present, you'll need a professional to handle its removal. Address any underlying issues before applying new siding. It's a good idea to carefully check a small, inconspicuous area at the back of your house to see what’s beneath.
If you’ve decided to move forward, head to your local home improvement store, which offers a wide variety of siding materials. Exploring these options might inspire a new direction for your home’s exterior.
Considering Your Options
Most homeowners opt for vinyl siding due to its relatively easy installation process and the variety of colors available. Home improvement stores often provide installation instructions to guide you. Additionally, consider pairing vinyl siding with replacement windows for a cohesive look.
If you're interested in alternatives like cedar lapboard siding, there's more to know. Before installation, wood must be acclimatized by stacking it off the ground, covered, but with airflow around the planks to allow for natural expansion or contraction. You'll also need to apply a finish to all sides of the boards. Familiarize yourself with the required nails, furring strips, and vapor barriers before proceeding.
Final Considerations
Before tearing off your current siding, carefully weigh your options. If this project seems overwhelming, consult a professional siding and window contractor. You could handle the prep work and leave the complex tasks to the experts.
Choosing the right team for your project ensures a successful outcome.
