From siding and window replacement in Granby to roofing and insulation, you can upgrade the exterior of your home to make it an everlasting experience. With knowledgeable staff and excellent craftsmanship, you can have your dream home within your time frame.

Peter L. Brown began doing aluminum siding in the 1960’s working out of a tiny office. Over the years, our business has grown to become the siding, window, and roofing specialists that the residents of Hartford county can count on. Much of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers. Since customers appreciate hard work and dedication to the job, our phone keeps on ringing.

Roofing is one of the industries that we specialize in. We sell Atlas Roof shingles, which protect from moisture and mold growth. Your shingles will not fade in color or streak like a lot of roof shingles do in a humid area like Connecticut. Since roofs can be ‘out of sight out of mind’, many people don’t seek roof repair until there are major repairs that are needed to be done. This means that you may end up paying more money along with risking internal damage to your home from roof leaks to mold growth. Getting annual roof checks is beneficial and will save you money in the long run.

You can also pair your windows with new sliding doors in Hartford, CT. For colors that pop and made to last for years – why would you shop for windows anywhere else?

We also specialize in gutter installation and repair. Gutters are often one of the last features of a home that people will repair. This is because people often do not check their gutters, and underestimate what can happen if a gutter is not functioning properly. Gutters that are not working efficiently can cause water to leak into the walls of your home, causing rot and mold growth. To prevent gutters from getting clogged, you can install a gutter protection system like the Berger Seamless Gutter or Klean Gutter Systems offered here at Peter L. Brown.

Why Purchase Vinyl Siding?

/in , , /by

Being widely known for its high performance, vinyl siding is the top choice for homeowners and contractors throughout the U.S. In comparison to other siding products, vinyl siding beats them in price, quality, texture and attractive colors.

Ease of Installation

Vinyl siding is an easy material to install and does not have to be intimidating. Vinyl siding is watertight, so when it is installed it has an appealing look. One of the benefits to vinyl siding is that you can remove a piece of siding anywhere. The long pieces of siding can be locked into place, making installation easy and low maintenance.

Vinyl Siding comes in many different styles, textures and colors. Some of the vinyl is made to mimic the natural rough texture of wood – like Shake Vinyl Siding – saving you money from purchasing real wood siding. Other vinyl gives off the impression of having real shingles, with a cedar grain texture and random gaps. Mimic your favorite siding material by keeping the same quality while skipping the high price!


Different Panels

There are many different panels that vinyl siding comes in. Some of the panels are vertical, triple, double, double dutch lap and single panels. With different textures and shapes, these panels add interest to the exterior of your home.

Quality

Many colors from other siding choices tend to fade in sunlight. Dark colors, although a popular siding choice, fade in direct sunlight with other siding choices. Our vinyl siding has a mastic solar defense technology than will keep your siding looking brand new. Another great aspect to vinyl siding is that is does not require a single coating of paint. Most other siding materials need some kind of paint or heavy duty maintenance every few years, but vinyl siding is unlike any other. The color will never fade or peel, and maintenance only requires mild soap and water occasionally.

So if you want a siding with an attractive look at a fair price – contact us today. The low maintenance siding lasts without stains or painting, and with tons of colors the possibilities are endless. When is comes to siding, it’s hard to combine style with quality. From quality workmanship to custom styles.
