Siding Installation performed by knowledgeable, trained, and experienced industry craftsmen is also CRITICAL to the success of a vinyl siding job. There are MANY extremely poor siding jobs out there. Gapping seams; waving panels; cut short trim and panels; thin product with greater potential of hail damage AND warping; siding installed improperly over existing siding; siding installed without the proper water barrier and/or without the proper insulation underneath; faded siding; etc. …all have given vinyl siding a bad name.
Our commitment is to provide the thickest, strongest, longest and most fade-resistant vinyl siding panel on the market with all of the proper installation accessories AND expert installation. This means doing ALL of the little things each and every time that add up to a great install. Prepping the home correctly; replacing rotted wood and removing unnecessary trim boards; caulking all openings; nailing loose boards; installing a BREATHABLE reliable house wrap (we use Tyvek;) installing a minimum of ½” insulation for a backer (whether attached to the panel or to the wall itself;) nailing each panel by hand to allow for expansion and contraction; caulking the correct places and caulking CORRECTLY with a high quality product; installing a foundation cap at the bottom of the panel to cover and protect the bottom exposed insulation; using the correct blocks, boxes, vents, and mounts for each specific application; wrapping the fascia correctly with the seams positioned the correct way in gables and other areas; positioning the siding seams the correct way to minimize their existence and to eliminate seeing them while looking down the side of the home; capping window and door trim with brick mold replication and mitered corners (while knowing how to position the seams and when and when NOT to seal up an area;) installing the correct amount (at the correct distance) of vented soffit and opening up additional openings when required—ALL of this and MORE is what sets one installation above another. It is amazing how much one installation can vary from another. We’ve seen horrendous caulking jobs, terrible cuts, wavy sides of homes, walls where water is collecting behind the siding panels and getting into the home, and countless other examples where a homeowner THOUGHT they were getting a good job but later found out how true the adage is “you get what you pay for.” We are often asked to forego the weather/water barrier (Tyvek), to offer a thinner panel, and to reduce the thickness of the insulation on a home so that a prospective customer can competitively compare our proposal with another they’ve received. We just won’t do it. We understand the importance of doing it correctly and the ramifications of not. We understand that vinyl siding is designed to allow the material underneath it to breathe and acts only as a ‘supplemental rain screen’ by reducing the amount of water that reaches the underlying weather-resistant barrier. We understand how not doing all of the little things correctly can greatly affect the performance and appearance of a siding job. Over the years, we’ve taken off many other companies’ bad siding installations to install our product professionally. Our reputation is just too valuable to cut corners.
