How the job runs

Day one starts with a walk of the exterior to confirm scope, mark any sections with suspected sheathing damage, and stage material and dumpster placement so the crew isn’t blocking driveways or HOA common areas longer than necessary. Removal comes next, section by section rather than stripping the whole house bare at once, which keeps the home weather-protected if a storm rolls through mid-job, which it will during a Southwood summer more often than not.

Once old siding is off a section, the crew inspects the sheathing on the spot. Any wood rot gets cut out and replaced before the weather barrier goes back on. New siding installation follows manufacturer spec for fastener pattern, lap, and clearance from grade and roofline. Windows, doors, and any wall-mounted fixtures get properly flashed and caulked as the siding goes up around them, not after.

What the homeowner needs to do is straightforward: clear anything valuable or fragile from immediately outside the work zone, confirm HOA approval is in hand before the crew shows up, and expect some noise and foot traffic around the house for the duration. Southwood’s storm pattern means afternoon rain can push a multi-day job by a day or two here and there, which gets communicated as it happens rather than promised away up front.
