Wood or Fiber-Cement Siding
Wood and fiber-cement siding protects homes and businesses from rainwater as it drains from the roof. In addition to shedding water, siding shields walls from wind and helps insulate a property. It also provides an added layer of defence from moisture seeping into the property, which can lead to larger problems like damp and mould. Available in various styles and colors, siding may also be used to add a unique visual layer to a property. Wood and fiber-cement siding, for example, can be painted or stained in virtually any color.
Qualifications and Certification
Choosing an experienced and qualified siding contractor will ensure that your property is protected from the elements. When choosing a contractor to repair or install siding, it is important to go with someone that has extensive experience in working with the same material. Different types of siding are installed in various ways depending on the material. Find a contractor that is registered with a competent person scheme or part of a trade association. Contractors that are members of a trade association abide by certain codes of practice. To be eligible for membership, they are required to be properly trained and meet industry standards related to quality, service and safety.
Get Multiple Quotes
Before choosing a contractor, get at least three quotes from siding service providers. Estimates should be itemized with all labor and material costs related to completing the project. In addition to cost, consider the experience of each contractor by looking at previous work and checking references. Also, ask contractors for evidence of certifications and training as well as proof of insurance.
