There’s much to love about spring if you are taking on a remodeling project. It’s the season of rebirth and renewal, a fitting time to make changes to your home that will elevate its overall look, feel and value. Are you planning on installing new siding for your home? Why not get it done this spring? Springtime is the best time of year to take on your siding project. Here’s a look at why spring is perfect for this kind of home improvement project.
If you are unaware of peak season for siding contractors, you may find it hard to schedule your project. Autumn and summer are the busiest times for siding contractors since homeowners, in general tackle exterior renovation projects. It’s not unusual for contractors to be fully booked during these times of the year. Springtime, however, tends to be less hectic for siding contractors. You’ll find that a contractor can fit you into their schedule more easily during spring. You’ll have more flexibility to choose between contractors because of greater flexibility in their schedules.
Weather conditions can be impactful, not only on the progress of the project but your pocketbook as well. If you opt to replace your siding during summer, autumn, or winter, you will consume added energy than normal. When your walls are exposed for a siding replacement job that takes place during autumn or winter, more heat will be needed to keep the house warm. The more heat that’s consumed, the higher the heating costs. Doing a siding replacement during the summer could also increase energy costs because of more output for cooling during the warm period. When it comes to maintaining comfort in your home when doing a siding replacement, spring temperatures are better suited to put less pressure on your HVAC system, using less energy.
Spring’s milder temperatures are helpful for siding replacement projects because certain materials work better during spring conditions. Caulk or sealants, for instance, usually perform better- drying out at a slower pace, less likely to become brittle quickly, and adhering quicker. If you’ll need a layer of protective coating for your siding, you won’t have to worry too much when working in spring temperatures. Moreover, the mild weather allows your contractor to work longer to get more work done and not be uncomfortable working outdoors.
Establishing a project deadline is important, but seeing that your contractor sticks to it is vital. That means, the fewer interruptions during the siding installation, the better. Extreme weather conditions can force your contractor to slow down. Think about the impact of hot, humid summers, winter conditions, and unpredictable autumn rain showers. Spring is a bit better, though it’s a season that has rains and storms because they are fewer in occurrence if you think about what comes after spring.
