Is Spring the Best Time for Siding Replacement?

The siding of your home or commercial building serves as a protective layer, keeping it safe from a variety of elements. However, it can take a beating over time. Dents, cracks, holes, or other damage – man-made or nature – can cause your siding to wear down. Take a close look at the interior of your home. Has the siding seen better days? Spring is a great time to replace the siding. Here’s why.

The days are longer and warmer.  
Although it’s not impossible to replace siding in the winter, extreme cold weather conditions make outside siding replacement difficult. The warmer temperatures and longer days that come with spring make it an ideal time for siding installation experts to get a new exterior installed quickly and efficiently without any weather-related delays.

It helps save money and conserve the Earth’s resources.
Not only does siding protect your home, but it also helps insulate it from extreme cold or hot temperatures. New siding helps you keep the inside of your home at a comfortable temperature. Homes with poor insulation and worn siding will have higher utility bills. New siding on the other hand, will help you save money in energy bills, simply because your heating system won’t have to work as hard to keep you comfortable. Springtime siding installation ensures your home will be insulated to keep cool air inside during the summer, and warm air in during the cold winter.

Safer working conditions.
It can be very dangerous for siding installers to be up on ladders during the cold, wet, and slippery weather of the winter. At the same time, working in the heat of summer can also pose risks. Spring is the ideal time for siding replacement because the weather is drier and cooler, allowing for safer working conditions.
