New Year, Better Home — Top 4 Reasons for Window and Siding Replacements During the Winter

Windows and siding protect our homes from outside elements, such as snow, rain, and harsh temperatures. However, they go through a lot of wear and tear during the years, and eventually start letting up and seeping the cool air into our homes. When this happens, we ought to go out with the old, and in with the new — no matter the season.

The vast majority of people think that all home renovations should be done during warm weather. Moreover, many people fear that installing windows and siding replacements during the winter is risky. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth, as cooler temperatures can be a great ally. 

The Benefits of Replacing Windows & Siding During the Winter

1. Reduced Energy Bills

When our windows form cracks, they start letting cool air in — all the time. Then, we’re forced to keep our HVAC on for longer, and the temperatures on our thermostat higher. The final outcome is a surcharge on our energy bill, which won’t go away until we fix the underlying issue. Hence, we should take care of the window replacement straight away if we want to save money on our bills.

The same argument can be made for siding, as it also plays a key role in keeping our homes warm. Moreover, by replacing our siding, we will make every room in our home preserve its heat for longer. 

2. More Scheduling Options

Many businesses suffer from low traffic during the winter, and contractors are not exempt from this. Additionally, as we’ve mentioned, a lot of people think it’s best to postpone home renovations for warmer months. As a result, there’s a lack of interest, and many contractors’ schedules are wide open.

Thus, many home remodeling companies will be able to accommodate new customers immediately. So, whether we need new windows or siding, we’ll be able to work with the contractors and schedule the installation at the most convenient date for us.

3. Greater Money Savings

Because cool months often don’t draw in as much profit as their warm counterparts, companies need to find ways to stay afloat. Thus, in addition to having a flexible schedule, many contractors will also offer great discounts and incentives to those who need the work done.

We might also stumble upon some unexpected money savings, as their suppliers can also offer lower prices on the materials. This is a great perk, because quality, energy-efficient windows and siding typically come at a high price.

Ultimately, all of these discounts and incentives will add up to help us cut down on the overall costs of the project.

Pro Tip:

Those who are looking to save even more money on their window replacement should consider changing as many windows as they can. Namely, the more windows we install, the better deal the company will be willing to make. 

4. Higher Resale Value of the Home

In addition to the plethora of short-term conveniences, our homes will also benefit from the window and siding replacement in the long run. For example, new, elegant windows and siding replacements will increase any home’s curb appeal instantly. Thus, we’ll be able to make our investment worth its while, by increasing the resale value of our home.

Final Thoughts

Hopefully, by now we’re all aware of how much winter window and siding replacements can benefit our homes. They can help us save money, increase the value of our home, and help us stay warm during the harsh winter months.
