All about installing Vinyl Siding in the Winter


Winter isn't the best season to take on a big home improvement project. However, for some, it's the perfect time to install and/or replace their vinyl siding. 

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we give you pros and cons of Installing Vinyl Siding in the Winter:

Pros:

1. Stress-free installation:

Assuming the weather is reasonable, it makes the most sense to book the installation in the winter because contractors are more like to be available. They're usually overscheduled during the warmer months, so there's a stronger chance that installation can be more efficient and inexpensive in November and December.

2. Summer heat affects Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl siding expands in the heat so if it's installed in hot weather and nailed in too tight, it could buckle. The fall and early-winter provide the ideal temperatures for vinyl siding installation and ensure the least amount of problems as each winter passes.

Cons

1. Cold weather:

Chilly weather makes installation frustrating because the colder it gets, the easier the vinyl will crack. Putting in the siding in temperatures lower than 40 degrees increases chances for cracking and buckling. Some homes avoid any damage, but too many issues can occur during installation so it's not recommended.

2. Longer completion time:

A warm weather season is ideal for installing siding. Typically, siding is placed on a home's exterior sections at a time to minimize cold air entering through as well as damaging the side of the house. Couple this with extreme weather, and the installation could eventually stretch into a two-month project.
