The Benefits of Replacing Your Home’s Siding During the Winter Season

4 Reasons To Replace Your Siding In The Winter 

Siding installation and replacement, or any other exterior home renovation projects for that matter, may seem strange to do in the winter. The frigid cold and fewer daylight hours make for a gloomy atmosphere to do any serious siding work. 

Perhaps counterintuitively, the winter season is actually one of the best times of the year to have your siding upgraded. Winter renovations come with these exclusive benefits:

Potentially lower costs: Because demand for home restoration drastically decreases in the winter, contractors are open to negotiating for a more economical quote for their work. If you have been postponing your siding replacement due to prohibitive costs, try your luck in the winter; you may get a more reasonable price! 

More efficient siding installation: The dropoff of clientele in the winter season also means that contractors have more time to focus on your siding project. As a result, your siding installation or replacement is likely to be more expedient. Free from tight summer bookings, your contractor may even have the flexibility to go along with your own schedule.

Easier on the yard: One major disadvantage of doing siding work in the summer is the potential harm to your yard. Exterior renovation projects and the vehicles and equipment needed pose a risk of damaging your lawn and flowerbeds. This can be a landscaping nightmare. 

Damage to your plants and sod does not present the same problem in the winter. Beds are usually cleared and the ground is usually frozen solid. This allows your contractor to focus more on their work rather than trying to minimize their impact on your yard. 

Debris from the renovation is also easier to clean up in the winter, thanks to greater visibility on a snow covered surface.

More time for you in the summer: The average siding replacement project takes between 7 to 14 days. This is not counting the delays caused by overbooking一quite common in the summer months. In other words, you could be spending weeks without access to your backyard or patio. 

If you have done your siding work in the winter, however, you will have all the time in the summer to enjoy your home’s refreshed exterior.
