As the days grow shorter and that familiar autumn chill settles over West Michigan, many homeowners instinctively hit the pause button on their renovation plans. There’s a common belief that once the cold weather arrives, you’ve missed your window for exterior projects like new siding, windows, or doors. What if we told you that’s one of the biggest myths in home improvement?

For over 45 years, BlackBerry Home Improvement has been proving that there is no “off-season” for improving your home. With modern materials and expert techniques, we can install high-quality products year-round, delivering comfort and curb appeal when you need it most.

Busting the Winter Installation Myths

Let’s address the common concerns head-on. Homeowners often worry about their house being exposed to the cold or that materials like sealants won’t cure properly in lower temperatures. While these were valid concerns decades ago, technology and professional installation methods have made them obsolete.

● For Window & Door Installations: Our process is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal heat loss. We work on one opening at a time. The old window or door is removed, the opening is prepped, and the new unit is fitted and sealed in a matter of minutes. Your home is never left exposed to the elements for an extended period. We use advanced, high-performance sealants specifically formulated to cure perfectly in the low temperatures of a Michigan winter, creating a permanent, watertight, and airtight seal.
● For Siding Installations: High-quality vinyl and composite siding materials are engineered to be installed safely in colder weather without cracking or becoming brittle. Our experienced, employee-based installation crews are masters of their craft. They understand exactly how to handle these materials, leaving the precise amount of spacing necessary to allow for natural expansion and contraction as the seasons change, ensuring a flawless look that lasts.

The Advantages of a Fall or Winter Project

Not only is year-round installation possible, but it also comes with some distinct advantages for you, the homeowner.

1. Scheduling Flexibility: The spring and summer are notoriously busy for renovations. By scheduling your project in the fall or winter, you can often get on the calendar much sooner and avoid the rush.
2. Immediate Comfort & Savings: Why suffer through another drafty, uncomfortable winter? Installing new windows or siding now means you get to enjoy the benefits immediately. You’ll feel the difference in your home’s comfort and see it in your lower monthly heating bills.
3. Be Ready for Spring: While everyone else is just starting to get quotes in March, your project will already be complete. Your home will be looking its best, ready for you to enjoy the first warm days of the year.
