How To Replace Siding On A House
Katelyn Lewis • March 20, 2024
Replacing your home’s siding can boost your home’s curb appeal, improve its insulation, and cause neighbor envy.
But how do you replace siding on a house?
Here’s our siding installation process:
- Materials delivered, usually a day or two before the project is scheduled to start.
- Remove old siding and underlayment
- Inspect sheathing underneath for any rot or decay and replace as needed
- Install house wrap underlayment & tape seams as required by code
- Nail in J-channels
- Install new siding (woo, best step!) to manufacturer specifications
- Custom cut edges and corners
Finally, we clean up the yard of debris and nails and haul it all away, leaving a clean yard and new, stellar siding on your home for your neighbors to ogle over.
