Too late in the year for new windows and siding?

Saturday, June 25th, 2011
panontro asked:


Hi there - I am thinking about getting new windows and siding. I have regular wood but would like to get fiber cement (Hardie) and new windows. However, it’s November and I think that it might be cheaper now (because not much work gets done this time of year) but I live in the North where the days are about 12 hours long now and the night are below freezing.

Any suggestions? Of course the siders and installers say they work year round, but wondering if there will be any potential problems with doing windows and hardie in probably late November by now. Thanks.

How to remove aluminum siding?

Sunday, June 19th, 2011
JTT Properties asked:


I’m in the process of removing a metal roof from a lower roof of a 2 story building. The metel bends and is nailed up under the old aluminum siding, and I was wondering if it is possible to remove say the bottom two rows of siding to work on the roof and then replace them?

I would prefer to be able to replace them with the same siding I take off instead of having to buy new ones. Any ideas?

The digital version of the siding photos looks normal but once I upload them to the website, the siding looks all wavy and distorted. How to fix? Not a good advertisement for business this way!
