Fall is the Best Time to Replace Vinyl Siding

There is no better time of the year to look at replacing your homes siding than fall. The temperatures are at the perfect balance of not to hot and not to cold, so you don’t have to worry about the problems the heat and cold can bring to an installation. And with the cold weather just around the corner its crucial to get your home ready for that harsh winter. So here at Precision Siding and Construction we wanted to take a moment to share a few thoughts on why fall truly is the best time to replace the siding on your home.

Temperature

Vinyl Siding is a durable and sturdy material that protects your homes exterior but struggles under extreme temperatures. Siding can expand and warp in the hot weather and become stiff and crack when it’s too cold outside. Installing siding in the wrong weather conditions can cause inconsistencies in the walls of your home, leaving warped or bubbled portions of your siding system. The perfect temperature to install vinyl siding is around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and can prove difficult for installations scheduled in the summer or winter months. However, the moderate temperatures of fall can be ideal for vinyl siding installations. Also, the comfortable temperatures of fall will allow installers to complete the job in ample time without the risk of delay due to extreme heat or cold.

Winter is just around the corner

With winter weather approaching fast now is a great time to get your homes exterior ready for the harsh winter. That old warped and cracked siding can cause several issues for your home. As the winter weather persists moisture can find its way behind your homes damaged siding and expand when it freezes. When this happens gaps and cracks in your wall system will begin to form and slowly escalate the damage to the exterior of your home. This can also allow the cold to sneak in and your heat to sneak out, making your home impossible to keep warm. Also, when vinyl siding gets brittle it can crack during installation. This can be a big problem in getting siding installed during the cold winter months. So, that’s why installing vinyl siding during the mild weather of fall can ensure that your home is ready to tackle that tough winter weather.

Energy Savings

The harsh winter comes with its set of challenges, especially when it comes to energy savings.  Its estimated that 35% of your home’s energy is lost through the walls of your home. This can cause a major increase to your home’s heating bills. Gaps, cracks, and seems in your homes old siding can give your homes energy an easy way to escape. Replacing that old worn out siding is a great way put money back in your wallet and keep your home a comfortable temperature in the coming winter months. So, before that winter weather sets in update the walls of your home this fall with new vinyl siding and save money off your home’s energy bills.

Minimal Impact on Your Landscape

While installers are replacing the siding of your home increased foot traffic, equipment, and ladders can damage your flowers and plants, hindering new growth for the spring and summer months. Even if installers try to avoid flower beds your plants may still become injured. But, in the fall season many of the flowers have lost their blooms and trees will start to enter their dormant stage so the risk of damaging your plants significantly decreases. Making fall the ideal time to schedule your new siding installation. So, if you’ve worked hard getting your homes landscape and garden to look just right, keep your garden safe by replacing your homes siding this fall.

Optimal Scheduling

Due to the peak seasons of the spring and summer homeowners can find it difficult to get their new siding installed in ample time. The high demand for vinyl siding installations during the spring and summer months can have homeowners waiting weeks or even months to get new siding for their homes. However, during the fall season homeowners can get their new siding installed with ease. Siding installers become readily available to meet clients’ needs because of the slower seasons of fall and winter. This makes the fall season the ideal time of year to schedule an installation for your homes new siding.
