Suppose your drafty windows are reducing energy efficiency. Deteriorating siding is diminishing the curb appeal of your home. You’re certain that replacement is necessary. You’re just not sure if you should start with the windows or the siding. Why not do both at the same time?

It may sound overwhelming and expensive to invest in replacement siding and windows all at once. However, this approach offers several benefits in terms of cost, efficiency, and overall comfort.

Concurrent Siding and Window Replacement: Is It Cost-Effective?

Cost is often the number one priority for homeowners considering any renovation. You might wonder about the cost of obtaining replacement windows and siding together, versus doing each as separate projects.

When budgeting for any home renovation project, understand that multiple factors can affect cost. Your location and the extent of the project, plus the contractor you partner with to complete the job. Customizations may incur an additional fee. Any preliminary work might make labor costs higher, as well.

There’s no doubt these projects are a significant investment for homeowners. You want to consider the long-term cost benefits of completing both replacements together. For instance, replacing your siding and windows with newer, more advanced materials can increase energy efficiency. This means potentially lower energy bills.

What’s more, completing both projects together can be more cost-effective from a labor perspective. For example, the installation team may only need to do certain steps, such as sealing and caulking, one time instead of completing this process again when projects are separate.

Keep Your Utility Bills Low

You might notice your home feels colder in the winter or warmer in the summer than it once did. More than likely, your windows and siding need replacement. Old windows may allow air to pass through frames and joints, and declining siding is less effective as a layer from outdoor conditions.

The materials for home construction are constantly evolving, so what was available when your home was built – or even the last renovation – might not reflect the most energy-efficient options. That’s another reason you might consider replacing both at the same time. Today, you can find replacement siding and windows with greater insulating ability than what was once possible. For instance, New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc. offers Soft-Lite windows, which deliver exceptional energy efficiency, among other benefits.

Boost Property Value and Curb Appeal

Even if you’re not planning to move anytime soon, it helps to know window and siding replacement can increase property value. You’re not just enhancing curb appeal. Siding and window replacement also signal your home is more energy efficient and reflects contemporary styles.

Consider the impact on home value by updating your existing siding and windows:

• Vinyl siding replacement can increase home value by around $15,490, depending on your location.
• Vinyl window replacement can enhance home value by about $13,776, depending on your location.

Curb appeal isn’t just about impressing potential buyers. You want to impress guests with a home that stands out in the neighborhood. You also want to smile seeing how beautiful your home looks when you pull into the driveway. There are many styles and designs for replacement windows and siding. Completing these projects together can ensure windows and siding pair well for a final product that exceeds expectations.

Convenience and Comfort

Replacing only your windows or siding might feel like the job is only half done. Siding and windows work together to provide the benefits each offers. So, if you were hoping to experience greater energy efficiency, you might notice your utility bills are still high if you complete only one project.

Not investing in both projects at once can also affect your comfort level. The indoor climate might still feel hot and humid in the summer, even with the air conditioner running. Similarly, you might never feel warm enough during the winter because outdated windows or siding don’t provide adequate insulation. You might wonder why you invested in the first place without realizing it’s the project you left undone – whether siding or windows – causing these adverse effects. Ultimately, completing these renovations together can enhance the comfort of your home.

You also want to think about the logistics of the project. You’ll likely work with one partner for both, providing only one point of contact. You also won’t need to worry about two instances of interruption while the project is ongoing. Instead, it’s one and done.
