There are several points to consider when searching for a professional to transform your home. According to the project, some points are far more significant than others. But in just about every case, the single most important issue you are going to must consider is whether you are going to pick the ideal cost or the very best worth - they may be hardly ever the identical factor. Case in point can be a homeowner that contacted me for any quote to install siding and replace the roof on their house.
I initial met with this customer in September and presented our services as a roofer and siding installer. Hearing practically nothing back, I followed up in December to see if they had made a selection or if I could answer any extra inquiries. At this time they stated we did a fantastic job of presenting ourselves, but they went with somebody else resulting from price tag. Despite the fact that I was disappointed, I understand that this occurs.
As opposed to chalk it up as a loss, I decided to take the chance to study much more regarding the competitors. Soon after learning who the homeowner hired to set up their siding, I took a close look in the top quality of work, cleanliness, and project management. The very first factor I noticed was that the siding had been installed prior to the roof. I constantly favor to perform the roof very first to avoid the risk of damaging brand new siding whilst tearing off the old roof. Performing the roof 1st also allows me to cut back the old siding and be sure all of the flashing gets installed completely - which cannot be accomplished when the siding goes on first. It is achievable that weather played a part in the other contractor's choice, but I'd still prefer to wait until the weather cooperates and do what's the very best for the buyer.
The siding the consumer requested was popular brand of fiber-cement siding with quite detailed installation guidelines that have changed with time. That is why when we set up this product, we print out the installation directions the day we begin job to make certain there happen to be no adjustments and our customer's acquire the warranty protection they deserve.
Like most building products, this cement siding's warranty specifically states that improper installation can void the warranty. Sadly, I found two such complications within the installation that could happen to be effortlessly avoided. Probably the most glaring is the fact that the siding was installed proper as much as the roof line as an alternative to supplying the "two-inch minimum clearance amongst the roofing along with the bottom edge from the siding" which is clearly referred to as for inside the installation guidelines.The second issue I noticed was that the siding was sitting out fully exposed for the elements all through the project. "Store flat and preserve dry and covered prior to installation" - once more this quote is from the installation instructions.
One more issue I noticed was a tremendous quantity of "face nails," or nails exactly where you may see them, within the siding. While not specifically wrong, "blind nailing," or nailing below the overlap of prior piece, would be the preferred method of installation for lap siding products."
I guess I don't comprehend why, in a circumstance where it's not required, would they face nail that much? Yes, you'll find instances where it is actually required, but I can assure you this was not one of them. Lastly, I noticed that the siding was installed with a variety of "reveals," which can be to say that the exposed portion of every single piece of siding varied slightly. The obvious outcome of this really is that the siding will look crooked, and this siding did.
So, did this client get a much better value? No. They paid a reduce price up front and received a service commensurate with all the price tag they paid. Is saving a bit money worth voiding the warranty protection in the product? Or obtaining crooked siding? I just truly hope that practically nothing goes wrong for this home owner since they may not have warranty protection after they require it.
