Framing, Siding, or Roofing First? A Homeowner’s Guide to Prioritizing Renovations
When your home needs multiple updates, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. Should you begin with the framing, update the siding, or replace the roof first? Making the right decision can save you time, money, and future headaches. Here’s a smart, step-by-step guide to help homeowners prioritize renovations the right way.
Start with the Structure: Framing Comes First
The framing is the skeleton of your home. If your house has framing issues — like warping, settling, or water damage — they need to be addressed before anything else. Any work done on the exterior (like siding or roofing) should rest on a solid and stable structure. Fixing framing after cosmetic work has been completed can lead to costly do-overs.
Secure the Top: Roofing Comes Next
Once the framing is solid, the roof should be your next priority. A damaged or outdated roof can allow water to leak into your home, causing mold, rot, and expensive repairs. Replacing your roof ensures your home is protected from above — and prepares it for new siding without risk of future water damage.
Guide to Prioritizing
Finish with the Exterior: Siding Lasts
With the frame solid and the roof secure, it’s time to install or upgrade your siding. Siding not only boosts curb appeal, but also plays a big role in energy efficiency and insulation. Doing siding last ensures it aligns seamlessly with the roofline and allows for a polished, finished look.
Bonus Tip: Think Long-Term
When planning these renovations, think of your home as a long-term investment. Prioritizing structure, protection, and then aesthetics ensures every upgrade builds on a strong foundation. And when you work with professionals like JLY Construction, you’ll get expert guidance every step of the way.
