As a homeowner in Edmonton, you know that your house’s exterior is constantly battling against the elements. From harsh winters to hot summers, your siding takes a beating year-round. But when is it time to replace your siding? And what’s the best time of year to tackle this important home improvement project? At Jayson Global Roofing, we are happy to answer your questions about when to replace your home’s exterior siding. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll look at common questions that will help you make an informed decision.
When Is It Time to Replace My Siding?
There are a few signs that indicate your current siding needs attention. Here are some telltale indicators:
Visible Damage
Look for cracks, chips, or holes in your siding. These issues can allow moisture to penetrate, leading to more severe problems like mold or rot.
Fading or Discoloration
While some fading is normal over time, excessive discoloration can indicate that your siding is nearing the end of its lifespan.
High Energy Bills
If you’ve noticed a spike in your heating or cooling costs, your siding might be failing to provide adequate insulation.
Interior Moisture Issues
Peeling wallpaper or paint inside your home could be a sign that moisture is seeping through damaged siding.
When Is the Best Time to Replace Siding in Edmonton?
Thanks to Edmonton‘s climate, we at Jayson Global Roofing recommend replacing siding at certain times of the year.
Spring: A Popular Choice
Many homeowners opt for spring siding replacement. The milder temperatures make it easier for installers to work efficiently, and you’ll have your new siding in place before the summer heat arrives.
Summer: Ideal Weather Conditions
Summer offers long days and typically dry weather, which can speed up the installation process. However, be prepared for potential scheduling delays as this is a busy season for contractors.
Fall: Beat the Winter Rush
We can replace your siding in fall too when the weather is still mild. It’s always nice to have the added benefit of improved insulation before winter sets in.
Winter: Not Impossible, but Challenging
While it’s possible to replace siding in winter, it’s not ideal. Cold temperatures can make materials brittle and harder to work with. However, if you’re facing urgent issues, don’t hesitate to schedule a replacement, even in winter.
Factors to Consider When Timing Your Siding Replacement
Beyond seasonal considerations, there are other factors to keep in mind when planning your siding replacement:
Your Schedule
Consider your personal and professional commitments. Siding replacement can take several days to a week, depending on the size of your home.
Budget Considerations
Some contractors may offer off-season discounts. If you’re flexible with timing, you might be able to save on your project costs.
Material Availability
Certain siding materials may have longer lead times. Plan ahead to ensure your chosen materials are available when you need them.
What to Expect: The Siding Replacement Process
Understanding the siding replacement process can help you prepare for the project:
1. Initial consultation and estimate
2. Material selection and ordering
3. Removal of old siding
4. Inspection and repair of underlying structure
