Siding Installation Tips

📏 Accurate Measurements

Measure each wall separately and account for all openings. Include gables and dormers in your calculations.

🎯 Material Selection

Consider climate, maintenance requirements, and local building codes when choosing siding material.

🏠 House Wrap

Install proper house wrap or vapor barrier before siding installation to prevent moisture issues.

🌡️ Thermal Expansion

Allow for thermal expansion, especially with vinyl siding. Don't nail too tight and leave room for movement.

💧 Flashing & Sealing

Proper flashing around windows, doors, and corners is critical to prevent water infiltration.

👷 Professional Installation

Complex installations benefit from professional work. DIY can save money but may void warranties.
