Siding 

Vinyl Siding, wood shakes, cedar, or clap board siding, we are experts in installing any of these materials which help insulate your home, keep out moisture, and give it the look you desire. However, we recommend Vinyl siding your home as it may be one of the best improvements you can make.  There are many advantages to vinyl siding, such as reduced energy costs, a maintenance free exterior, lifetime material warranties, and an almost immeasurable increase in your homes curb appeal.

The Process

TopLine Construction will be with you every step of the way to ensure your complete satisfaction.  Our former customers and new friends have similar questions when it comes to siding their home, we will try and address those concerns here and explain the typical process.  You can also read our FAQ for more information. Once you contact us we will setup an informal meeting at your home with absolutely no sales pressure.  There we will discuss your goals and options, as well as take measurements so we can provide an accurate estimate with no hidden costs or surprises. We will provide real material color samples of your choice for your siding, trim, and accents.  There are times when existing siding must be removed in order to install your new siding, for example, existing vinyl siding must always be removed before installation of new materials.  However, when it is feasible and existing siding is in good condition, we highly recommend keeping the existing siding and installing the new vinyl siding over it.  This provides greater thermal and sound insulation for your home as well as eliminates the labor cost and trash removal cost associated with removing the existing siding.

 We follow strict installation procedures and ALWAYS use Tyvek house wrap on new installations, or if existing siding will remain the home is "wrapped" with a layer of 1/2-inch foam before siding is installed.  Whether you choose to use our services or are just gathering information, be sure your contractor is doing this!  We have been hired in the past to correct these shortcuts/mistakes made by other installers who have omitted this step completely.

Once you have your estimate and have had a chance to make your decision, assuming you are satisfied with the estimate and want to move forward, we can then schedule a start date, identify preferred location for the trash container (dumpster is usually place on the driveway with wood blocks below it to prevent driveway damage), establish order material delivery date and location (may include windows, doors and gutters if desired).

Topline Construction will remove and re-attach any wiring on the home with no loss of service (cable, phone, electric meter).  We also remove your existing lights and can re-use or replace with new lighting fixtures of your choice.  Most homeowners, take this opportunity to change the old lighting fixtures with something new or to change hard to reach flood light bulbs.  A very common occurrence among our customers is to use our services to install/repair/replace the gutters of their home or modify the drain locations of down spouts.  This makes sense since the existing gutter (if any) must be removed when installing new siding.  The same applies to the number plates of the house, the doorbells, and in some municipalities, the mailbox. 

Last of all in the process, is final clean up of the yard and our favorite aspect...the final walk through with the owner of a spectacular looking home!  At this point any questions or concerns should be addressed.  We will also follow up with a courtesy call 30 days after the job is completed to confirm your satisfaction and we hope to hear that we have exceeded your expectations.
