Smart Homeowners Plan Their 2026 Exterior Projects Now
Don’t Wait for the Spring Rush!
As we head into mid-November here in Richmond, the feeling is undeniable. We’re buttoning up our homes, raking the last of the leaves, and settling in for the colder months. The 2025 installation season for major exterior projects is coming to a close. This is also the moment when savvy homeowners take a hard look at their home’s exterior and realize one important thing: the clock is ticking.
But at Lonestar Siding & Windows we know: Right now is when the smartest homeowners start planning ahead.
If new siding, windows, or doors are on your wish list, don’t wait until spring for a consultation. Starting now is the best way to secure a smooth, successful project for 2026.
The Reality of the “Spring Rush”
Every year, it’s the same story. The first warm, sunny day in March triggers a “spring rush.” Homeowners, eager to start fresh, all call for estimates at the same time. This creates a bottleneck across the entire industry.
What does this mean for you?
- Scheduling Conflicts: The most in-demand contractors (like us!) are booked solid, forcing you to compromise on your ideal timeline.
- Longer Wait Times: Getting on a reputable contractor’s schedule can mean waiting months for your project to even begin.
- Rushed Decisions: You may feel pressured to make fast decisions on colors, materials, and styles just to “get in line.”
