LocalServ.Pro — Siding Hiring Checklist Prepared October 17, 2026 Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent. Loose siding, peeling finishes, and recurring wall stains deserve a condition assessment before you choose a new exterior look. Ask whether the work is cosmetic, a localized repair, or part of fixing water entry. A new surface should come with an explanation of what happens behind it. DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER Will existing layers be removed or covered, and why? How will flashing connect with nearby roof and window work? Who handles electrical fixtures, gutters, and other attached items?
