Replacing your siding can be an overwhelming project. In addition to the multitude of factors to consider, you also have to think about maintenance once your new siding has been installed. Luckily, you don’t have to be in the dark about how to go about your home improvement project.

Read on as Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, one of the area’s premier siding replacement companies explains the basics of re-siding your home.

Deciding to Re-Side

There are many reasons why you might want new siding for your home. It could be because of a previous work that you aren’t happy with, or it could simply be because you want to improve your home’s curb appeal. Whatever your reasons are, know that you have options and that there are ways to achieve what you really want.

Start With the Basics

The next thing that you should figure out is the type of siding you prefer. There are countless options to choose from, but the one you choose should be determined by the climate in your area for optimal compatibility and performance. You can enlist the help of your local siding companies for the type of siding that will suit your home’s needs.

Note that it’s better to work with local contractors for better accountability and convenience. Ask around the neighborhood for recommendations. Lastly, always set a budget and try to stick with it. You could talk about this concern with your contractor so they can adjust accordingly.

Prepare Your Home

Be prepared for a few inconveniences, such as noise and dust, when the construction is underway. Remove picture frames or anything that’s hanging from your wall so these items won’t fall off and break from all the hammering from the exterior.

The 'Woodpecker Tax': Why West Austin Homeowners Are Switching to James Hardie Siding

West Austin's tree canopy and humidity make wood siding a costly liability — woodpeckers, carpenter bees, and hidden rot can quietly turn a $200 patch into a $12,000 repair. James Hardie fiber cement siding eliminates pest vulnerability and moisture damage at the source, with long-term costs that routinely beat the annual patch-and-paint cycle. If you're tired of paying the Woodpecker Tax, here's exactly what switching looks like and what it's worth.
