Vinyl siding is installed year-round here in New England–including winter!
What New England Homeowners Need to Know:
- Year-Round Installation: Professional contractors install both vinyl and James Hardie fiber cement siding throughout winter months. We use specialized methods that account for natural material expansion and contraction.
- Material Adaptation: Both vinyl and fiber cement naturally expand and contract with temperature changes. Experienced installers accommodate these characteristics to ensure proper long-term performance through seasons.
- Project Investment: Vinyl siding costs $18,000 nationally with 118% ROI, while fiber cement averages $21,500 with 121% ROI.
- Scheduling Advantages: Winter siding installation provides faster project completion times, avoiding spring and summer backlogs.
- Proven Performance: Vinyl has been the number one exterior cladding choice since 1995. Meanwhile, fiber cement withstands extreme New England weather, both demonstrating reliability regardless of installation season.
