Siding, Seasons and the New Haven Climate
Every region wears siding out in its own way. For New Haven, with summer highs near 84°F, the main factors are these:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Connecticut sits in region 2.
Cold-weather impacts. Cold makes vinyl stiff and easier to crack when something hits it. Thicker panels survive a winter of shovels, balls and ladders better; fiber cement ignores the cold, but its cut ends must be sealed.
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. New Haven is in New Haven County, and most siding crews here cover the wider county. Ask at least one contractor from outside the city for a bid; travel rarely adds much on a whole-house job.

- Old layer. Taking off old vinyl or aluminum adds about $2,240 here; get it listed as its own line.
