Also check to see if there are any restrictions such as steel siding being installed near saltwater or near any coastline. When the time comes to choose a company, your local building department has a list of contractors licensed to do business in your area and they usually know who is reputable.

When your job is in progress you can call the building inspector to make sure the job is being done according to code.

If building permits are required, you must have one regardless of who does the work (that includes the homeowner). In some rural areas permits are not required. When that is the case, you need to spend more time investigating the company and its workmen.

In the event you decide to purchase the siding on your own and you are looking for someone to install it we can assist you, or your local building department usually knows of individual contractors who are reliable and responsible.

BUT...always check references!!
