Siding, Seasons and the Lakewood Climate
Every region wears siding out in its own way. For Lakewood, with summer highs near 85°F, the main factors are these:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Colorado sits in region 1.
Hail. Hail can crack vinyl, especially on a cool day when the plastic is stiff. Fiber cement resists hail far better, which can matter for insurance claims.
Winter joints. Repeated freezing and thawing is hard on every joint. Ask how the crew will lap seams, seal trim and keep the bottom course clear of snowy ground.
Embers. Wind-blown embers are the usual wildfire threat. Noncombustible siding, enclosed eaves and screened vents help a house resist a passing fire; check local building rules before choosing.
Sun and heat. Strong sun is the main enemy of siding here. Vinyl softens on hot south and west walls and can wave if it was nailed tight, so crews must leave room at nail slots and joints; lighter colors stay flatter and fade less.
In Lakewood, the mild weeks of spring and autumn are the favorite time for siding, so they fill first. Crews manage fine in summer; hard winter cold slows vinyl and caulk work. About 7 miles west of Denver, Lakewood has its own labor market, and the siding prices on this page are worked out for Lakewood rather than taken from the bigger city.
