When most homeowners plan to replace their siding, it will usually revolve around their budget or the severity of damage to their siding.
While these are both important factors to consider, it’s also important to be aware of the best time of year for a siding replacement. Our roofing contractors at A. Clark Roofing & Siding can be called on to replace siding all year-round, but we generally advise our clients that the springtime is the ideal siding replacement season in Alberta. Since summer and fall are very busy for home renovations and roofing projects, getting your request in as early as possible can help guarantee that we get your siding replaced as soon as possible.
What Are the Benefits of Getting an Early Start on Siding Replacement?
There are many reasons why it’s a good idea to get new siding installed as soon as possible in the year. We generally recommend calling us to get a quote and setting a date to begin once the weather becomes workable.
Lower costs
Edmonton roofing companies tend to be busiest in the summer and fall months. In the spring, you may be able to get better rates on a siding replacement than if you needed the work done at the same time as the crowd. Manufacturers may offer discounts on siding materials in the early spring as well.
Milder temperatures
Alberta weather swings from extreme cold in the winter to soaring temperature highs in the summer, neither of which provides ideal conditions for a siding replacement. High temperatures can cause the siding to expand, while cold temperatures can cause it to contract. If siding is installed in an expanded or contracted state, it may no longer fit perfectly onto your home when the temperature changes.
While Alberta can definitely have some cold spells in the spring, the temperature is generally mild enough to provide great siding installation conditions. This allows Edmonton roofers to work quickly and more efficiently.
Prepared for energy savings in the summer and winter
Your siding makes up a large component of your home’s envelope. Going into summer or winter with old and damaged siding can cause high energy bills, poor roof drainage, and leaks inside your home. Just as Edmonton homeowners should ideally get all necessary roof repairs done before winter hits, getting damaged siding replaced is a must as well.
