What Makes a Siding Replacement Project Successful?

When your siding in Arlington, VA is falling apart, sometimes repair may not be the best solution for the problem. Siding replacement may be the option you only have. However, this process is more complex and involves several factors to ensure success of the project. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

Is a replacement really necessary?

Take a closer look at the problem if replacement is really necessary. If you see signs such as buckling, sagging, blistering or major discoloration, then a replacement is definitely a better option. Additionally, check for mold infestation and leaks, and if your siding no longer functions properly, it’s time to call an expert remodeling services such as Colonial Remodeling to help you solve your problems.

Choosing the right materials

One of the most important factors for the success of a siding replacement is choosing the right materials. Some of the most common materials available on the market are wood, vinyl, stucco and fiber cement. However, there are several factors that need to be considered such as the style of your house, climate in your area and the cost.

If you are searching for products that do not only look good but are durable enough to withstand extreme weather conditions, James Hardie® siding in Arlington, VA is one of your top choices. We, at Colonial Remodeling, provide certified products that are sure to last.

Know the basics in siding installation

Siding replacement or installation is basically done in four steps. The old siding is removed, and then a thorough inspection is done to determine the extent of the problem. A weather-resistant barrier is applied and the siding is then installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and standards. Knowing the basics in siding installation will help you be more certain that the contractors are doing their job properly.

Finding the right contractor

Finally, choosing a reputable contractor to work on your siding is very important, more so when you have no real experience in such project. Some of the things you need to consider before hiring a company are their years of experience, their expertise, past projects, and certificates, permits and license.

If you want a company that excels in all these areas, Colonial Remodeling is your trusted partner. We offer installation of James Hardie® siding in Arlington and nearby areas. You can call us at 703-534-0800 for a free estimate on your siding needs.
