Begin by removing any existing siding from the building's exterior walls. After the old siding is removed, apply a layer of house wrap, such as Johns Manville ProWrap or BreatheEZ, over the plywood sheathing. Ensure the house wrap is securely fastened, creating a weather-resistant barrier before the new siding is installed.
Goal: Remove old siding and install house wrap to protect the sheathing.
