If you’ve looked at your home’s exterior and realized that it needs some attention, you may be thinking about new siding. However, if over the summer you realized that your windows seem to let in as much hot air as they keep out, it might be time for new windows. Who do you call first? One of the many siding companies or window companies? Actually, there are several benefits to replacing your siding and windows simultaneously using just one company who offers both.
One Contractor – One Point of Contact
Good contractors offer workmanship or installation warranties. When you replace your siding and windows at the same time with the same company, you have just one company to call if there’s a problem. Sometimes separate siding and window companies will point fingers at each other rather than working to solve the problem. Plus, getting the job done all at once saves the hassle of scheduling multiple companies at different times.
Complete and Comprehensive Damage Repair
Water damage causes deep problems. Whether you have water damage from loose siding or leaking windows, when they are removed together, the extent of the damage can easily be seen and repaired. If you replace just your siding, you may not see water damage around the window. You may also think that the damage is from loose siding when in reality it was your window, and even though you replaced your siding, the window continues to leak and you end up having to remove and reinstall the siding because of extensive damage down the road.
Cost Savings
In the above scenario, you can incur significantly higher repair costs than when you replace your siding and windows together. A bigger savings comes with the type of window your contractor can use. When the siding is off the home, you can choose new construction windows rather than replacement style windows because there is access to the frame to use nailing strip to affix the new window. New construction windows are less expensive than comparable replacement windows.
