Questions to Ask Your Siding Contractor

The home improvement industry is full of trustworthy professionals, but not all of these contractors will be right for you or your project. To help you decide whether you’re making a good choice, exterior renovations expert Hunterdon Siding and Window Company lists some questions to ask your siding contractor before signing any contracts with them.

“What Are the Warranties Included in the Product or Service?”

It’s standard for siding products and installation services to come with warranties. For siding products, they usually have 10-50 years of warranty with certain limitations. For workmanship, guarantees should be at least half a year and up to 10 years. This will give you enough time to discover any installation errors.

“What Materials Do You Have the Most Experience With?”

It matters that your contractor is experienced in installing the type of siding you prefer. This assures you that they have the knowledge and skills required to perform the job correctly. Ask about similar projects they have done in the past. Look for photos of their work, and ask for referrals or reviews about their service.

“How Much Maintenance Does the Siding Need?”

Your contractor should be able to answer this easily, especially if they claim to be familiar with the type of siding you’re inquiring about. It’s also important for you to know about the maintenance requirements of the siding so as to prepare yourself for expenses in the long run. If you’re planning a window replacement down the road, you might want to ask how this could affect your siding as well.

“How Much Insulation Can the Siding Provide?”

Any type of siding can provide a certain level of insulation for your home. Moreover, several siding materials can be customized to have better insulation properties. Inquire about these things so that you can get siding that matches your needs.

“How Are Customer Complaints and Post-Installation Queries Handled?”

Find out about their policy regarding customer grievances. Make sure that they would still be there for you to answer your questions even after the completion of the project.
