Ah, the Beauty of Construction

If you are looking to install new siding, there's a good chance that vinyl is your material of choice. Vinyl siding is durable, comes in many styles and colors, and complements many home styles. While there's a lot to choose from, getting the vinyl siding installation right is essential. Even the highest-quality vinyl siding isn't going to get the job done if it's not installed correctly. Here's what you need to know regarding vinyl siding installation. 

A Professional Installation Is A Good Idea

If you are planning to tackle a vinyl siding install on your own, you may want to hold off. A homeowner can put vinyl siding in place, but it's much more work than you may expect. Any mistakes you make will show up. Since vinyl siding installation can be tricky, hiring a professional to take on this work may be best. On average, hiring a professional to install your vinyl siding will cost $2.15 to $5.25 per square foot for the labor. Vinyl siding products usually range from $2 to $10 per square foot. 

It's A Great Time To Tackle Other Projects

If you are planning a vinyl siding installation, you may also want to add a few more exterior projects to your list. Removing your home's siding makes other projects, such as seamless gutter installation and adding replacement windows, much easier. When you remove the siding, you also get a look at what's underneath. This is a great time to make improvements to your home. Before installing new siding, consider whether there are other projects you should add in during this time. 

How Long It Takes

How long vinyl siding installation takes depends on the size of your home and the installation method used. Some styles of vinyl siding can take longer to install than others. Also, your home's size impacts the siding installation timeline. The bigger the house, the longer it takes. With a two-person crew, you can expect vinyl siding installation to take up to 6 days. Before committing, you'll want to consider how the vinyl siding installation will impact your daily life.

There are a few things to keep in mind when installing vinyl siding. First, having the professionals take on the installation is likely your best bet. Second, scheduling other exterior home projects during this time is a good idea. Finally, siding installation can take a few days, so consider how it will impact your daily life.
