Creating a Budget for Your Siding Project - Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc

An old exterior with chipping paint, dark-colored stains, hail dents, or other forms of damage can affect not only the curb appeal of your home but also its performance and energy efficiency. When shopping for a new siding material, it is important to plan and prepare ahead of time, including creating a budget, to speed up the installation process.

Siding Project

Here are some tips from top-rated leaking roof and siding specialists:

Start With the Siding Material

On the market, there are a lot of siding materials available, with different colors, textures and prices. When choosing a material, you can browse through the popular siding installations in your area and opt for the exterior that resonates with your personal style or character the most. And then, talk with your contractor and ask them about which material, from fiber cement to vinyl, wood, and more, that best complements the architecture of your house. Consider other factors such as labor costs and completion time as well. Vinyl siding is the easiest to install, so it often comes with lower fees. Meanwhile, other materials like brick or stucco are heavier and more difficult to work with, therefore more high-cost than other common exteriors. Laying out all the expenses for each material will help you figure out what you can and cannot afford, advises a siding and roofing company.

Don’t Forget About Additional Fees

Most times, there are separate fees for removing old siding, disposing of old materials, and repairing damage to the house. When your old siding is removed, there is a real likelihood that the installation team will discover structural problems caused by moisture or insect infestation. Addressing these issues will surely drive up the cost of your siding project. The contractor may also recommend installing insulation and a vapor barrier for better weather protection. When planning a budget, it is important to create an emergency fund so you will not be left high and dry if certain complications arise.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
