Roof Before Siding?

We are budgeting for a full exterior update next spring. Our roof is 22 years old and the cedar siding shows wear. Does the order of installation matter? I worry about damaging new siding during roof work, yet postponing either feels risky. Has anyone sequenced these projects?

We did roof first, then siding six months later. The roofing crew needed ladder brackets that would have scratched fresh paint. My uncle, a retired carpenter, always said protect the finish you want to keep pristine. Doing roof first also let us spot fascia rot before cladding went up.

When my parents planned their exterior overhaul, they spent evenings comparing bids and reading homeowner experiences to gauge consistency in scheduling and cleanup. During that search I came across https://dabella.pissedconsumer.com/review.html while exploring roofing, siding and masonry discussions. We eventually chose a regional contractor who staged the work over one month: roof tear-off week one, drying and inspection week two, then siding and trim weeks three and four. My father appreciated that debris was hauled daily so the lawn survived. The sequential approach cost slightly more in labor but eliminated repair callbacks. Their house now weathers Pacific Northwest rains without worry.
