Siding Installation Orange County

Homeowners love the idea of a “do-it-yourself” home improvement. In many cases, a DIY project can be rewarding. However, if you want new siding on your house, it’s best to turn to a professional siding installation Orange County company like Ameriside. Any time you have a job that will take considerable time and expense to complete, turning to experts is your best bet.

There are four significant reasons you should never attempt the siding installation yourself:

Voiding the warranty.

Most manufacturers state quite clearly that if any step of the installation process is skipped or done improperly, the warranty on the materials is automatically voided. That means if you aren’t a professional, it’s likely that the guarantee on the materials is void from the day you put it up on your house. Many of these warranties also specify that you use a particular kind and size of a nail, house wrap, insulation, etc.

Losing coverage for improper installation.

There are numerous home improvement companies with siding contractors on staff who have been trained and certified to do the installation. When you hire these individuals, you’ll improve your home coverage because they are often backed by a company warranty covering the installation process. If you don’t do the work properly, there’s no recourse for you.

Not understanding the difference between materials.

Some homeowners choose a particular brand or style of siding because they are familiar with the name. Others opt for whatever their neighbors have, and others decide whatever is the current trend in their area. None of these are appropriate ways to choose the best material for your home’s exterior upgrade. Suppose you don’t understand the pros and cons of vinyl, shakes, wood, fiber cement, and other materials. In that case, you could choose something that isn’t a good fit for your house, budget, or your lifestyle.

Wasted time and money.

A DIY installation usually takes at least twice as long as a homeowner thinks and at least a third more money than initially estimated. Why? Because they over-estimate their own ability to do something as complicated and time-consuming as installing siding and because they won’t get it right the first time. They will have to go back and re-do certain areas and purchase additional materials to do so. Add in the cost of buying the right tools for installation, and it quickly adds up.
