If you are considering siding for your home or need siding repairs from aging, wear, or storm damage, then you are not alone. Siding is proven, effective, and is one of the most widely used options for exterior home protection and appearance. The siding options we choose, however, as the attached video highlights, can make a big difference in the outcome and appearance of our homes. Arguably, the only thing more important than the type of siding options we choose is the siding companies and contractors we choose to work with, and that is why it is good to ask three particular questions when deciding on the right siding contractor for the job.
The first question you should ask the siding companies you are considering is about licensing and insurance.
If they are not a licensed and insured contractor, then it is advisable to remove them from your list, even if they do seem friendly and eager. Another question you need to ask is, do they have references or a portfolio of their work? The good news is, the work siding companies do is clearly visible and just looking at the homes they have worked on should speak volumes about their quality. Last but not least, don’t forget to ask about pricing, because there can sometimes be a sticker-shock type of difference from one company to the next when it comes to rates for siding installation. Now, all that is left is to decide on the right siding and look for your home.
