Preparing for Your Siding Project, a Homeowner’s Guide

As a Minnesota homeowner, you know the importance of protecting your home from the harsh elements. If you’re considering a siding project with Ascend Exteriors, proper preparation can ensure a smooth and efficient process. Here’s how to get ready for your upcoming siding installation:

 1. Clear the Perimeter

Before the Ascend Exteriors team arrives, clear a 5-10 foot area around your home’s exterior. This includes:

• Moving outdoor furniture, grills, and potted plants
• Relocating vehicles from the driveway
• Trimming bushes and trees that are close to the house

2. Secure Interior Items

The installation process may cause vibrations. To prevent damage:

• Remove pictures and decorations from walls
• Secure items on shelves
• Consider removing valuables from walls shared with the exterior

3. Provide Electrical Access

Our team will need access to power outlets. Ensure that:

• Exterior outlets are accessible
• Indoor outlets near windows are cleared

4. Plan for Noise

Siding installation can be noisy. Consider:

• Making arrangements to be away during work hours if you work from home
• Informing neighbors about the upcoming project

5. Prepare for Temporary Satellite/Cable Disruption

If you have satellite dishes or cable lines attached to your exterior walls:

• Contact your service provider to discuss temporary removal and reinstallation
• Be prepared for possible service interruptions

6. Consider Your Pets

The noise and activity might stress your pets. Plan to:

• Keep them in a quiet, secure room
• Arrange for pet-sitting if necessary

7. Communicate with the Ascend Exteriors Team

• Inform us of any specific concerns or special requirements
• Ensure we have a way to contact you during the project

By following these steps, you’ll be well-prepared for your siding project. Ascend Exteriors is committed to making your home improvement experience as smooth as possible.

We look forward to enhancing the beauty and protection of your home in the North Metro or Twin Cities!
