Installation Day:
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Nest Exteriors’ Professional Installation Process
At Nest Exteriors, installation day is the culmination of careful planning, expert craftsmanship, and detailed coordination. We’re committed to providing you with a smooth, stress-free experience and a home exterior that exceeds expectations.
Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide of what to expect when our professional team arrives at your home.
🕗 Step 1: Early Arrival & Setup
Our crews arrive promptly at the scheduled time, fully prepared to begin your project.
- Professional Introduction:
The project manager introduces the crew, confirms the day’s goals, and ensures everyone is aligned. - Site Protection:
Before work begins, we take care to protect your property—laying down tarps, plywood, and coverings to shield landscaping, driveways, decks, and other structures. - Safety Protocols:
Our team sets up ladders, scaffolding, and safety equipment to ensure a safe, efficient workspace.
🏠 Step 2: Removal and Preparation
With your property protected, we begin by carefully removing your old roofing, siding, windows, or other exterior elements:
- Careful Tear-Off:
Old materials are removed safely and efficiently to minimize disruption and debris. - Inspection of Underlying Structure:
We thoroughly inspect the underlying structure, looking for any hidden damage or issues that require attention before new materials are installed. - Surface Preparation:
We address structural repairs, replace damaged decking, install underlayments, flashing, and other vital elements to ensure a flawless final installation.
🔨 Step 3: Expert Installation
Now comes the most transformative phase of your project:
Roof Installation:
- Starter Strip & Underlayment: Properly placed underlayment and ice-and-water shield form the first protective layer.
- Shingle Installation: Shingles (such as CertainTeed Landmark PRO) are precisely aligned, nailed securely, and installed according to manufacturer guidelines.
- Flashing & Ventilation: Flashing is carefully installed around penetrations, chimneys, skylights, and vents. Ridge vents or soffit vents are added to ensure proper attic ventilation.
Siding Installation:
- Weather Barrier & Insulation: We first apply weather-resistant barriers and insulation to maximize energy efficiency and moisture protection.
- James Hardie Siding: Fiber cement siding panels or planks are carefully aligned, secured, and finished to manufacturer standards.
- Trim & Details: Trim pieces, soffit, fascia, and corner details are meticulously installed, creating a seamless, polished look.
Windows & Doors:
- Precise Measurement & Fitting: Each window or door is installed precisely, ensuring airtight seals and flawless operation.
- Insulation & Sealing: Insulation, caulking, and flashing are expertly applied for superior thermal efficiency and weather-tightness.
Gutter Systems:
- Seamless Installation: Custom-sized gutters are precisely cut, formed, and installed for optimal drainage.
- Downspout Placement: Properly placed downspouts direct water away from your foundation, preventing water damage and erosion.
🧹 Step 4: Thorough Clean-Up
At Nest Exteriors, leaving your property spotless is just as important as a job well done:
- Debris Removal:
All removed materials are carefully collected and responsibly disposed of off-site. - Magnetic Sweep:
We conduct thorough magnetic sweeps of your yard and driveway to remove nails and metal debris, protecting your vehicles, pets, and children. - Final Inspection of Grounds:
Our project manager personally inspects your property, ensuring no materials or debris are left behind.
✅ Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Client Approval
Transparency and accountability matter to us—so we never leave without your full satisfaction:
- Detailed Project Walkthrough:
Our project manager walks you through the finished installation, explaining exactly what was completed, highlighting details, and confirming everything meets your expectations. - Warranty and Documentation:
We provide clear documentation about materials used, warranties (including our exceptional workmanship and manufacturer warranties), and maintenance recommendations. - Your Satisfaction Guaranteed:
We don't consider our job complete until you're completely satisfied, comfortable, and confident in your investment.
📞 Step 6: Ongoing Support & Peace of Mind
