Should You Replace Your Siding & Windows At The Same Time?

Should you replace your siding and windows at the same time?

before after home sliding

Here are some factors to consider: 


1. Cost Efficiency. When both projects are done simultaneously, there might be efficiencies in labor and equipment, potentially reducing overall costs.


2. Aesthetics. Replacing both together can ensure a cohesive look for your home's exterior.


3. Energy Efficiency. Modern windows and high-quality siding can both contribute to improved energy efficiency. Replacing them together can help create a better-insulated envelope for your home, leading to potential energy savings over time.


4. Time and Convenience. Doing both projects at once might mean a shorter disruption to your daily life.


5. Personal Preferences. Some homeowners prefer to tackle major renovations in stages to spread out costs or address immediate needs first.


But the decision to replace your windows and siding at the same time depends on your priorities, budget, timeline, and their current condition. If your windows are in pretty good shape but your siding is falling apart, for example, it may be smart to focus on replacing your siding in the near term and your windows down the line.


Consult with a professional in both window and siding installation – like Retex! – to assess your options, get a cost estimate, and make an informed decision based on your specific circumstances.
