/in , , , /by

cw230s_hero1With Vinyl being the most popular siding choice, it’s probably safe to say that you have considered installing vinyl siding. Many sidings, especially older sidings are subject to fading.

Luckily, vast improvements over the years have been made in siding.

What are the Improvements with Vinyl Siding?

With Vinyl siding, you are getting a PVC material (polyvinyl chloride) that protects from sunlight, damage, discoloration and fading. It is a package deal, that comes with so many benefits – and not to mention – looks beautiful from the outside. Vinyl siding over the years has improved from looking like plastic, to many different texture and color options to compliment a home.

What Does it Look Like?

Vinyl Siding comes in horizontal or vertical pieces, and are meant to mimic the look and feel of real wood. The vinyl panels come in smooth or textured, with many different design options to customize your home. Horizontal panels pair well with traditional style homes, while the vertical panels compliment more contemporary homes.

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.

Appearancebrandy

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. Our siding has quality workmanship that requires low maintenance, hence our motto “Do it right the first time and you wont have to do it again.” To add the perfect touch to your roof, look no further than vinyl siding as an option for your home.
