As a licensed Minnesota home remodeling contractor specializing in exterior services, we’d like to talk with you about the importance of the company you hire to install your siding. Deciding on a quality siding product is just one aspect. Who you hire to install it is just as important as the siding material you choose. And we hope after you read this post that you’ll choose us for your siding project.
Siding is one of the most important investments for your home because without proper siding your home could suffer serious damage and wear out much faster than it has to.
Not only is the type of siding important but also the people who are going to be installing it on your home.
It’s very important that you choose your siding contractor carefully, because improperly installed siding could cause even more trouble than low-quality siding will.
Below are questions that you should ask your siding contractor before you begin working with them.
How Long will the Siding Installation Take?
Always find out how long the contractor believes it will take to complete the whole installation. Write down this estimate and use the information to figure out whether the contractor is the one for you or not. Many jobs require several days to obtain the necessary materials before they can be started, and by asking you’ll know what to expect.
A reputable contractor should be able to give you a good time frame for ordering your siding as well as how long it should take to install. Keep in mind that when the project starts, there may be unexpected delays due to weather, material availability, and more. But your contractor should keep you updated when these things happen. Communication with our clients is our top priority, and when you work with us we make certain you know what to expect.
What Steps will You Take to Protect My Home?
Siding installation is a pretty rough process that may require the use of heavy tools and equipment in some instances. It definitely requires the use of ladders and lifting materials up into the air.
Find out what the contractor is going to do to ensure that your property is kept safe throughout the installation, so you aren’t left with other things that need repairing in the end. With our siding company, you can expect we’ll do everything possible to protect your landscaping and the rest of your home and property. We do ask, however, if you have pets or small children that you keep them indoors while we’re working.
Who Is In Charge of the Installation?
Generally, siding contractors rely on a foreman or leader to handle the installation. This person is going to be calling the shots on the installation and it’s vital that you know who that person is. We have a lead installer on each project who is master level certified.
If you have any problems you’ll want to take them to this person, because he or she is in charge of the workers that are actually making changes to your home.
How Can I Talk to the Team Leader?
From the moment that a project is about to begin it’s important that you know how to talk with the person that is in charge of the installation. Get a contact number the team leader of your project. The easier the contact information is for the foreman on the project, the easier it is going to be to express your concerns or get details worked out about the project. On each of our jobs, we let you know right away who your point person is.
How do You Handle Change Orders?
It’s possible that you will want to make changes to some of the details of your siding project before it’s complete. This will involve a change order, and we’ll need to discuss that before any further work is done.
