Here in Western New York, we’re all ready for winter to be over. Like it or not, we’ve still got a few more months to go. But it’s never too early to start thinking about the right home improvements to go with the warm weather. There’s a reason why we get so busy with new siding projects when the weather warms up. It’s because the spring season is a great time to install new siding on your Western New York home.
It’s not all about the “feel good” effects of Spring-cleaning. Some reasons are actually quite practical and technical. For example, siding can be most accurately and effectively installed when temperatures are moderate. In fact, the sweet spot is right around 50 degrees. If it’s too warm or cold, calculations need to be made to account for expansion or contraction of the siding when temperatures reach extreme highs and lows. Vinyl is a pretty flexible material, so if you’re using it for siding, this is a factor that absolutely cannot be ignored.
Of course, siding installations are extremely common and just as effective in the summer, they just require a bit more thought. But wouldn’t you like to have the project done before things get too hectic? You’ll be busier, we’ll be busier, and the kids will be off of school, hanging around the house every day. You might kick yourself for not getting it out of the way summer.
Besides, don’t you want to enjoy the sight of your brand new siding for an entire, beautiful Buffalo summer? Nothing is worse than watching the completion of a great home improvement project, only to have it mucked up by next winter’s wrath before being able to take a moment to enjoy it. Nothing improves the curb appeal of a home more than new siding, so why let it get lost in the shuffle of the seasons?
