How Connecticut Weather Treats Siding
Siding in Connecticut has to cope with winter lows near 19°F and summer highs near 84°F. These are the local conditions that decide which material lasts:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Connecticut sits in region 2.
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.
Coastal homes. Salt, fog and wind arrive together on the shore. Fiber cement and vinyl both handle salt well; the weak points are nails, flashing and aluminum trim, so ask what grade the crew uses.
Ice dams. Ice at the eaves can push meltwater behind the top courses of siding. Have the contractor check the soffit, roof edge and attic ventilation while the walls are open.
Mild days between seasons suit siding best: vinyl cuts cleanly, paint and caulk cure properly, and rain is less likely to stall the job.

Common Questions About New Siding in Connecticut
How do contractors price siding in Connecticut?
Siding is priced by the square (100 sq. ft. of wall). In Connecticut, vinyl runs about $756.54 per square and fiber cement about $1,357.05, materials and labor, before trim and tear-off.
Can new siding go over the old siding?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $2,210 to $4,410 here.
Should I pay more for fiber cement siding?
Fiber cement costs $22,140 to $31,980 for this house against $12,760 to $18,420 for vinyl. It resists fire, impact and fading and can be repainted; vinyl wins on upfront cost and needs almost no upkeep.
About these numbers: estimates from our siding calculator for Connecticut, adjusted for local labor and material costs. Use them to budget and to check quotes - your price depends on wall area, material, trim and how much old siding comes off.
