5 Things to Ask your Siding Contractor

A quality siding replacement can provide many benefits for your home. In addition to improving the overall aesthetics, new siding can also help keep your home more insulated and comfortable. You and your family are safer from various weather elements, and can also expect lower energy bills. Before you embark on this important home improvement project, here are five things to ask your siding contractor:

  1. Do you have insurance and a valid Virginia contractors license?

Insurance covers you from any liability in case something happens during your siding replacement in Alexandria, VA. General Liability and Workers’ Compensation are both essential requirements that you should ensure your contractor possesses.  In addition to insurance, a business license is required for home improvement contractors in Virginia. This will help you ensure the contractor is qualified to provide quality home improvement services to their clients.

  1. Do you offer guarantees or manufacturer warranties?

Manufacturer warranties cover any material defect on your new siding. In addition to these product warranties from James Hardie and Mastic, Colonial Remodeling offers an added labor warranty for all of their siding replacement customers.

  1. What brand/s do you carry?

You can find many different siding brands on the market today. Two of the most popular options include James Hardie fiber cement and Mastic vinyl siding. Colonial Remodeling is proud to be certified installers of both of these quality brands.

  1. How long have you been in the business?
