If your home has Box siding (siding in 12 foot sections), we can remove it and and replace it with seamless steel siding.
How long does it take to install seamless steel siding?
This question has many variables that affect the answer. How flat the ground is, as well as the amount of surrounding landscape greatly affect prep time. The number of stories of the house, as well if the existing siding must be removed also dictates the time on the job. One of the most significant factors is how "cut up" a job is. "Cut up" refers to how many corners, windows, gables, offset areas, and tie-ins must be negotiated. And we can never forget mother nature. Rain, and especially windy days can stop production.
Are there different grades of siding?
Yes. The most common difference in grades is based on thickness of the panel itself. The thicker the panel, the more premium it is often considered. More seamless steel generally (not always) equates to a stiffer panel that will hang straighter, and be more impact resistant. Panel design is a crucial factor as well as thickness. There are other differences in siding as well, such as color selection and availability, styles and profiles, and warranties.
What home exteriors projects should be done first?
We suggest working from the top down. As well, we prefer to work so that when one project is finished, it allows the next project in line to go smoother. The roof is always recommended to be done first, not only because it is at the top, but it also tends to be the messiest. Windows and doors should follow. After this, we can do the seamless steel siding, soffit and fascia. Finally we can finish up with the gutters.
