Siding

A good siding system should achieve the following goals:

​

1. Maintain installed R-value ratings by restricting air movement in the wall cavity.

​

2. Shed water from windows, doors, and other penetrations.

 

3. Control moisture flow by blocking the penetration of water into the structure and allow moisture from the inside to escape and drain to the outside.

 

4. Provide an exterior cladding that when installed properly will last according to the manufacturers warranty.

​

A poor siding system that doesn’t achieve these goals:

​

1. Allows air flow to move through the wall, lowering the r-value of the insulation resulting in higher heating and cooling bills.

 

2. Allows water to enter building through window and door frames due to improper flashing.

 

3. Traps moisture in the wall promoting rot and mold growth.

​

4. Gets covered up by inexperienced installers and leads to a poor outcome and possible structural damage.

Premium Vinyl Siding is the perfect choice for homeowners looking to upgrade to a more beautiful, low maintenance home exterior at an affordable price. Because of its growth in product offerings, vinyl has become the leader in exterior cladding.

 

Here are just a few of the benefits:

 

Beauty – It’s not just gray or tan in 2 styles anymore. Manufacturers now boast multiple designs that duplicate everything from Cedar Shake to Board and Batten and panels that mimic brick and stone. You can choose these panels in an array of colors and textures; from deep blues and barnyard reds to cedar blends and earth tones. Whatever you’re looking for, we’re sure to have you covered.

 

Durability – Vinyl stands up to today’s harsh elements. Vinyl won’t rot or become damaged from insects. Vinyl won’t rust, peel or blister. It is impact resistant and its color will last year after year. Low maintenance – With minimal cleaning (once per year with soap and water for general cleaning) and making sure caulked joints remain sealed; your siding will remain beautiful and trouble free for years to come.

 

Value – The average installed cost of vinyl siding is ½ the cost of other exteriors such as wood or fiber cement and 1/3 of the cost when comparing it to brick and stone veneers.
