When people think about getting new siding, they may not consider everything that comes with it. For example, there are several siding accessories that include j-channel, outside and inside corner posts, and starter strip, just to name a few. All the siding components must be installed properly to ensure the functionality and long lasting beauty of the new siding.
Along with the siding and its basic components are what may be considered "add-ons." When getting new siding, it often makes sense to get a few extras, like new shutters. If the original siding warranted replacement, chances are the original shutters should be replaced as well. Plus, if the siding color changes drastically, the old shutters may not match.
When we replace your siding, we will have to perform what are called "resets." Essentially, anything that is on the siding will have to be removed and reset. Typical examples of re-sets include downspouts, shutters and light fixtures.
Since light fixtures get reset during a siding replacement project, many homeowners opt to purchase new fixtures instead of having the old ones put back up.

usually exists along the edges (especially toward the top) of the siding surfaces. One example of trim is fascia. One type of fascia is often called "gutter board." This is the wood on which the gutters rest.
Another type of fascia is called rake board. This is the wood that follows the upper edge of a gable end (where the house forms a peak) of siding.
Sometimes a homeowner will choose to have this wooden trim "capped." Exterior trim capping is aluminum sheet metal that is bent to fit and wrap around the wood trim components and nailed into place. Since wood trim requires some maintenance, people often choose to cap it to make it maintenance-free.
We recommend using what is called PVC trim capping. This is aluminum sheet metal that has a coating of vinyl on the outer layer. This vinyl layer makes it more resistant to the elements, scratching and also has a wood grain design that makes it look more authentic.
Soffits are another type of trim. People often call soffits eaves. If you have a front porch or a slight overhang within your house structure, what is underneath is called soffits. Soffits can be covered or "capped" as well. Soffits are similar in appearance to siding and are installed in a similar fashion.
If you want to install new trim capping or have your current trim capping replaced, it is a good idea to do so when you get new siding. Doing so after the fact is more labor intensive and therefore will likely cost you more.
JP Construction performs all the types of work described above, and more. For a free no-obligation estimate, call us at (877) 846-9566 or schedule online.
