Your home’s siding enhances its exterior appeal while providing protection from the elements. When it becomes warped, rotted, or reaches the end of its lifespan, you’ll need to replace it to prevent property damage and maintain your home’s energy efficiency. Consider the following reasons why you should book an appointment with a contractor during the winter months.

4 Reasons to Replace Siding During Winter

1. Contractor Flexibility 

Since contractors typically do not get as much business throughout the winter season, they have more availability for scheduling. Rather than needing to wait several weeks or months, your siding company will likely have the flexibility to accommodate the exact dates you’d prefer. 

2. Keep Your Space Warm 

Siding insulates your home and prevents drafts from making your indoor areas too cold. Replacing siding during winter will keep your home warm and cozy. Additionally, it will take some of the stress off your HVAC system and keep your monthly utility bills at a reasonable level. 

3. Fewer Landscaping Concerns 

The landscaping around your home’s perimeter may become damaged during your siding appointment. However, since most of your plants, flowers, and bushes will already be dead at the time of your appointment, you won’t have to worry about covering them or instructing contractors to avoid damaging them. 

4. Better Rates

If you’re concerned about staying on budget, book your siding appointment during winter. To increase business, many contractors lower their rates, which makes labor fees much more affordable.
