Qué esperar durante el reemplazo del revestimiento

Remodelar el exterior de su casa puede ser un proyecto emocionante y gratificante, sobre todo si sabe lo que le espera. Puede evitar sorpresas conociendo el proceso de renovación del revestimiento y algunos de los desafíos que pueden surgir una vez iniciado el proyecto.

Antes de comenzar

Your remodeler will review with you various styles of LP® SmartSide® Trim and Siding for your home and help you explore exterior remodeling ideas. Once you decide on the look you want, your remodeler will provide an estimate that includes the cost of material, labor, paint, applicable permits and the amount of time required to complete your project.

Starting Your Remodel

When your remodeling project begins, it may seem overwhelming at first. A dumpster will be delivered to your home to haul away your old siding and construction debris. Some remodelers may deliver a portable restroom for the crew. The workers will start by tearing off your existing siding. Your interior walls may shake a bit, so remove any pictures or hanging valuables to prevent accidental breakage. It's not uncommon for remodelers to work on only one side of your home at a time to avoid exposure to extreme weather conditions.

Expect the Unexpected

If your home currently has asbestos siding, you will run into additional costs for removal. Once your old siding has been removed, your remodeler may discover water damage or areas in need of immediate repair. Simple fixes may include adjusting window flashing or replacing a few feet of wood. Major structural repairs may cost you more.

Re-Siding Your Home

Before your LP SmartSide Trim and Siding  is installed, your remodeler will install a code-approved, weather-resistant barrier and inspect your flashing. If your walls are uneven, furring strips will be installed to create a flat mounting surface for the siding. All joints between lap siding and trim will be sealed to help prevent water intrusion. (Sealing joints between siding and trim may not apply if the installer uses the trim-over method.)

The Finishing Touch

When your remodeler is finished installing all of the trim and siding, the painters will move in (unless you install prefinished LP SmartSide siding and trim). All LP SmartSide products come pre-primed for better paint adhesion and to help save time during your project. Your painter may use various methods to paint your home, including a sprayer. Take precautions to park vehicles away from your home and advise nearby neighbors to do the same.

When your home siding project is complete, your remodeler will remove all waste materials and walk around your home with you for a final inspection. Now it’s time to enjoy your beautiful home.
