Can Vinyl Siding Be Installed In The Winter?

Winters get cold in Connecticut. If your home’s siding is damaged, cold air can leak into your house, which can make it uncomfortable. This can force your heating system to work harder, which can make your energy bills significantly higher than they should be. You can make your home more energy-efficient, keep it warm, and lower your heating bills by installing new vinyl siding.

Many homeowners think that new vinyl siding cannot be installed in the winter. While this work is usually performed in the spring and summer, it can actually be done in any season. The installers will need to make some adjustments to their procedures to take the colder temperatures into account.

How Temperature Changes Affect Vinyl Siding

As the temperature changes, building materials can expand and contract. Higher temperatures cause materials to expand, and colder temperatures cause them to contract. Vinyl siding expands and contracts at predictable rates based on temperature. It tends to expand more in warmer temperatures than some other materials.

How Temperature Affects Vinyl Siding Installation

Vinyl siding installers know this and take it into account if they need to install vinyl siding in the winter. They can leave the vinyl siding room to expand when the temperature rises in the spring and summer. This is especially important around window and door casings because the siding can buckle if it hits the casings.

Vinyl siding also needs to be nailed correctly. Nails should not be set tight, but rather a space of about 1/16 inch should be left between the nail head and the nailing fin. The vinyl siding should be able to move freely from side to side. If it cannot move, the vinyl siding can buckle when the temperature rises in the summer.

Benefits of Having Vinyl Siding Installed in the Winter

There can be advantages to having vinyl siding installed in the winter. Since contractors tend to be busiest in the spring and summer and business is generally slower in the winter, you may not need to wait as long to have your new vinyl siding installed in the winter. You can begin to reap the benefits immediately when your heating bills start to go down.

I just wanted a storm door but the places I called wanted to change my storm and front door. Aladdin to the rescue ! Brian and his assistant (from Aladdin) did an outstanding job installing a new storm door. Gerry, one of the owners gave me a very fair price and Tina at the office was great to deal with. Locally owned and operated. Thanks Aladdin.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our deck awning which was purchased and installed by Aladdin some twelve years ago now. Recently, we decided to have our awning canopy material replaced with darker and more vibrant colors. As before, from beginning to end our experience with Aladdin was exceptional. Staff was incredibly helpful in guiding us through our decision-making in finding the right color. The owner made a personal site visit before the job and explained every step of the install process. He recommended we install the awning assist poles to secure the awning to our deck and eliminate the need to retract our awning during windy days. Love it!! The installers were very pleasant, professional and responsive to our questions. Don't look anywhere else. If you go with Aladdin I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Installed a new front door and storm door. Installers were meticulous and very friendly. Excellent work done. Went out of their way to switch out the molding they were installing so that it would match what we currently have. And repaired a hole in the floor under carpeting before installing down We had just repainted our walls and they installed the door without damaging anything. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and quality of work. Definitely will use Aladdin again for other external doors etc.
