According to our home improvement experts, siding installation takes a lot of time and effort to complete. To make things worse, the project itself can have an effect on how you carry out your regular tasks. If you want to help the project go smoothly, you should prep your home accordingly. Our team has a few tips on how to make your home ready for the big project.
Trim Those Greens
Plants near or around your home can get in the way of the siding contractor when the work starts. Start by trimming branches that are next to your home. Next, move potted plants to a safer location. You should also trim the grass near the area since it makes cleanup easier when the project is finished, and the cleanup crew is picking up debris.
Clear Your Driveway
Siding installation involves moving a lot of materials. One of the best ways to help with logistics is to clear your driveway. You may have to park your car somewhere else for the meantime. The extra space not only helps transport easier, but could also serve as a staging area for the contractors.
Store Wall-mounted Items
Since siding installation could cause vibrations strong enough to knock picture frames and paintings off your walls, you should keep the walls clear until the project is done. Store wall-mounted items for the meantime. If it’s not possible, at least make sure the mounted items are secured by extra nails. You may also want to move your shelves a few inches away from the wall to stay extra safe.
Turn the Lights Off
Siding installation can bring a worker close to exterior lighting and wiring. Before work starts, you should consider cutting off the power on that side of the home. This way, you help minimize the risk of electrical shocks while your new siding is being installed.
