Should You Replace Your Windows or Siding First?

Windows and siding are essential components of your home. But whether to replace your windows or siding first depends on the specific situation. In this post, we discuss the factors to consider when making your choice and the benefits of replacing one before the other.

Windows or Siding First

Factors to Consider

When deciding whether to replace your windows or siding, you must consider several factors.

  • Damage. Prioritize repairs to windows and siding based on the extent of the damage.
  • Budget. Consider replacing your windows and siding at the same time if you have the budget. 
  • Long-Term Savings. Replacing windows and siding can help improve energy efficiency and save money in the long run.

Benefits of Replacing Windows First

There are several advantages to replacing your windows before siding.

  • New windows can improve your home’s insulation and energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs.
  • Modern windows can enhance the curb appeal and value of your property.
  • You can replace windows first to simplify the siding installation process as the new window’s dimensions need to fit and align with the siding properly.

Benefits of Replacing Siding First

Replacing your siding first also has its merits.

  • New siding provides better protection from water damage and moisture infiltration, preserving the integrity of a home’s structure.
  • New siding and windows can improve home insulation and energy efficiency.
