So you’re thinking about residing your house. Good for you. New siding can make a tremendous improvement in your home’s appearance, market value and maintenance needs. But it does take some planning and research to make the best decisions about residing a house.
There’s no time like the present, as the saying goes. And in fact, winter can be a smart time to start your residing project. Especially if you’re beginning to have problems with your current siding, you want to start planning replacement before things get worse. Even if it’s just time for a change, advantages to starting now include:
You’ll have time to do plenty of research.
Get all the information you need to make the best decisions. Learn about siding options and talk to your local professional for advice and insight. Get work references and ask about warranties. After all, you want the best products and workmanship.
Your contractor may have time to do the work now.
Even in winter, residing a house is a definite possibility. Work schedules are uncrowded in the off-season, so you may be able to get a better price, and the work may get done faster.
Residing a house in winter means your contractor will tear off and replace small sections at a time, to minimize exposure to the elements. You might experience a bit of delay if our New York weather intervenes too much, but it’s well worth inquiring about starting soon.
Waiting till spring or summer could cause significant delays and perhaps higher prices. For obvious reasons, it’s the most popular time for residing a house, which means you’ll have to get in line, waiting to start your project and also waiting for the work to be completed.
So if residing a house is on your mind, go ahead – call your local contractor and get started now. And in a few months when the new leaves and flowers appear, your home can have a new look, too.
