Completing a dream home improvement project is definitely rewarding however, during its run, the whole process can be incredibly disruptive. This is one of the reasons homeowners tend to do renovations one part of their home at a time. You’ll rarely find a roof installation contractor working alongside siding installers as they would just get in each other’s way.


But if there are two exterior remodels that are made to be partnered with one another, it’s your windows and your siding. Let our remodeling experts at D-Wing Construction explain why you might want to take on both these projects at the same time.

They Affect Each Other

During a window installation, the contractor will install a moisture barrier on the wall before putting the window in place. This barrier is called the capping and typically extends well below your siding. Redoing the siding will affect your window capping, which the contractor will have to replace anyway. Because of this, it makes sense to simply time your siding installation with your window replacement to save time, money and labor.

Budgeting Considerations

Of course, taking on two home improvement projects can be a little hard on anybody’s pockets. A little priority rearrangement may be essential so you don’t get overwhelmed by sudden staggering costs. If you have to do one project, it’s advisable to start with the windows. Windows are added first if you’re doing both windows and siding anyway. But this depends on the condition of your siding. If your siding is in really bad shape, take care of it first before your windows.

Energy Efficiency

The days during which your projects are happening will usually be a nightmare to your energy efficiency. Your siding and roofing contractor will have to remove parts of your home to complete their work. You can lessen the time they have to do this by choosing to schedule them both at the same time.
