About 10 years ago, my son helped me re-side my house. It was a lot of work over about 10 days, but based on the estimates I received from contractors earlier, I ended up saving around $25,000 by doing it myself.
Now it's time to re-side my son's house. It's a modest ranch home, so not as much siding as many other homes, but still a big job. We'll have to remove the old vinyl siding and, unfortunately, also remove the layer of masonite siding under that.
Because we don't have a whole week or two to devote to this project, we're thinking about replacing the siding one side of the house at a time. That way, we can do each side over a 2-3 day weekend. It will extend the entire project out to several weeks, but it will make it much more manageable.
Anyone have experience re-siding a house one side at a time? I'm thinking the biggest issue will be dealing with the house wrap, but I think I can just extend the wrap a few feet beyond the corners of the house and tack it into the next side and then overlap the wrap after I remove the siding from that side.
