Preparation: Laying the Foundation for a Lasting Installation
Preparation is a crucial step in ensuring that your new siding not only looks great but also performs well for years to come. At KAM Plastering we take the time to thoroughly prepare your home’s exterior before installing the siding. Here’s what this involves:
Removal of Old Siding: If your home has existing siding, the first step is to carefully remove it. This process involves stripping away the old material without damaging the underlying structure. We handle the removal with care to minimize disruption to your home and surroundings.
Inspection of the Underlying Structure: Once the old siding is removed, we inspect the underlying sheathing and framing. This step is critical because any signs of damage, rot, or mold must be addressed before the new siding is installed. Identifying and repairing these issues ensures the longevity and structural integrity of your home.
Repairs and Reinforcements: If we discover any areas of concern, we perform the necessary repairs. This may include replacing damaged sheathing, reinforcing framing, or applying treatments to prevent future issues. We ensure that the surface is smooth, level, and ready to provide a solid foundation for the new siding.
Weather-Resistant Barrier Installation: Before the siding goes up, we install a weather-resistant barrier, often referred to as house wrap. This barrier acts as a protective layer that prevents moisture from penetrating your walls while allowing water vapor to escape, reducing the risk of mold and rot. This step is essential for maintaining the energy efficiency and durability of your home.
Flashing Installation: Flashing is installed around windows, doors, and other openings to direct water away from vulnerable areas. Proper flashing is key to preventing leaks and ensuring that your home remains dry and protected against the elements.
Final Surface Preparation: After the repairs, barrier, and flashing are in place, we perform a final check to ensure everything is properly sealed and secure. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the siding installation will be smooth and free of complications.
