3 Reasons to Reside Your Home This Fall

In addition to comfy sweaters, pumpkin spice drinks and comfortable weather, fall is also the best time to do work on your house. With only a few days until the official start of fall, you can get a jump-start on your outdoor projects without sweltering in the sun or freezing in the snow. However, there is one project you shouldn’t attempt yourself - siding. Instead of waiting for yet another winter to pass, here are a few reasons why fall is the best time to hire Siding Contractors in Wilton CT.

Siding responds to changes in the weather. When it’s hot, vinyl siding can expand and shrink in the cold weather. If you’re installing siding when the temperature is too far in either direction, it can affect how your siding is installed and can lead to spaces or gaps in the future.
 
Think of your home’s siding as a winter coat. If you have pieces of siding that are falling off or are cracked, your house is going to be pretty cold. Therefore, you'll have to compensate by bumping up your thermostat.

Humidity and rain can also affect how well your siding lays. The humid summer months and rainy spring season can cause your siding to warp and peel. Plus, with excess moisture comes an increased chance of mold and mildew. When you install siding in the late summer or early fall, you give it a few months to settle before being inundated with snow and water.
