Siding is a vital part of your home. Along with the roof, it safeguards you and your family from weather elements such as heat, hail and moisture. Needless to say, keeping this exterior component in tip-top shape all year round carries weight in terms of comfort, energy efficiency and safety.
In this post, certified roofers and siding specialists reveal when is the best time to replace your siding.
Fall Offers More Than Mild and Pleasant Weather
Most homeowners schedule their siding replacements in the spring or summer months. This means many home improvement companies are booked and busy during this time of the year. In the fall, however, when the weather is cool, mild and pleasant, siding products tend to go on sale since it is an off-season. You may even get great deals on labor, too. This is when people can benefit from not being part of the crowd.
Replacing your siding in the fall also acts as winterizing your home. According to a trusted home remodeler, installing a sealed cladding, house wrap and rigid insulation will not only protect your interior walls from moisture but also reduce your heating bills during the cold, frosty winter season.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Siding
While moderate temperatures make the ideal conditions for siding replacement, or any exterior work at that, the best time to replace your old siding is when signs of damage are present. These include:
-
Blisters on bubble-like marks on your siding.
-
Patches of mold and mildew on your siding.
-
Cracked, warped or rotted planks.
-
Extremely faded cladding.
-
Siding in need of frequent painting or staining.
-
Suspiciously high energy bills.
-
Peeling paint or wallpaper on your interior walls.
