Spring is a great time to do a lot of things — spring cleaning, home improvements and gardening, to name a few. But spring is also the perfect time for siding installation in Burlington, Greensboro, Durham and across the Triad. Like most outdoor renovation projects, a siding job goes far more smoothly and quickly when the weather is on your side.
Here are six reasons why spring really is the best season for new siding.
1. Your Siding Went Through a Lot Over the Winter
Harsh winter conditions can take a toll on both the appearance and the lifespan of your siding. Once the cold finally breaks and you get a good look at how your siding held up, you may notice that it needs some repairs — or even a full replacement. Spring is the natural time to assess the damage and make a plan before the problem gets worse.
2. It's Easier to Install Siding in Spring
The mild weather of spring is one of the main reasons it's such a great time to install siding. The days are longer, too, which means your siding crew can work longer hours and finish the job faster. Because the weather is warm but not sweltering, work conditions are simply more comfortable for the installers. Sealants and caulk also adhere much faster and better in fair, moderate weather — which means a tighter, longer-lasting result.
3. Cleanup Is Simpler
Spring may bring more rain than other seasons, but overall it offers good conditions for keeping your property clean and dry before and after installation. The site is easier to prep for the crew, and the team can tidy up the work area more easily before they head out for the day.
4. Fewer Maintenance Expenses
You'll spend less time and money on maintenance when siding is installed in spring. In the height of summer, excess UV exposure can damage siding. In the dead of winter, cold temperatures and too much moisture can weaken it. By avoiding those extremes, you help extend your siding's longevity — especially if you choose vinyl siding, which is insect-resistant and rot-proof. If you want an even more durable, fire-resistant option, ask us about fiber cement siding as well.
5. Storage Is More Convenient
You won't have to stress about where to store siding materials and supplies over the few days the project may take. The crew can simply cover the materials with a tarp at the end of each day rather than hunting for extra indoor space — one less thing to manage during your renovation.
6. The Weather Is Predictable
Unlike winter snow or the surprise thunderstorms that pop up in summer, spring weather tends to be far more predictable. That makes it much easier to manage your project's timeline. With fewer weather delays, you save both time and money.
"Excellent rating for the job to replace damaged siding. The project manager did the quote in a timely manner and completed the job before the stated date at the promised price. He went out of his way to match the new siding color to the old." — Google review by Vickie M.
