Why You Should Replace Siding and Windows at the Same TimeIf you’re planning on replacing your home’s siding, then you should also consider getting replacement windows. This way, you can make sure that they complement each other, improving your home’s overall appeal. More than just improving the beauty of your house, replacing your windows and siding together is more cost-effective. In this post, your trusted home exterior provider, Woodbridge Home Exteriors explains why you should have your siding and windows replaced at the same time. Contents
Precise Window CappingIf you replace your windows and siding at the same time, your contractor can precisely install the capping surrounding the windows before they attach the siding. Proper installation of window capping is important because they divert the water away from the wall frame and interior. Contractors would have to cut into your siding if you choose to delay your window replacement. This may cause your new siding to appear butchered. In addition, your existing window’s capping gets damaged when the siding is detached, meaning your window installer would need to recap them. Just have your siding and windows replaced at the same time to eliminate additional costs. Improved Energy EfficiencyWindows improve your home’s energy efficiency by preventing air-conditioned air to escape outside. Your siding protects the building from extreme temperatures. Making your home more energy-efficient requires improvement in both areas. It’s useless to replace your windows with energy-efficient materials when your siding has cracks. A siding that provides good insulation and high-quality windows can save you from significant energy and repair bills. Invest in replacing your windows and siding at the same time because you’ll get better savings in the long run.

Do you have to take siding off to replace windows?Replacement Windows Do Not Require Removing Vinyl Siding
Replacement windows are retrofit, meaning they are designed to slide into your home's existing frame. The important thing is that your frame and sill are in good condition. That means that the frame and sill are free from rot and mold.
Which should be installed first siding or windows?Ideally, you'd do them at the same time; but if you can't, it's typically best to install new windows before adding siding. Though it's possible both projects could be done independently of each other with no additional cost, it's more likely that you'll pay more if you add the siding first.
How long does it take to replace windows and siding?Generally speaking, you can expect your project to take anywhere from 7 to 14 days from start to finish. Of course, we'll keep you in the loop every step of the way, ensuring that you know exactly what to expect.
