Q: How important is the thickness of the vinyl siding I use?

A: In our experience, the compounds in the panel are more important than the gauge or thickness of the panel. The best VALUE is in the panel that combines both high concentrations of impact modifiers and color stabilizers.

Q: Why do I see lots of seams on some resided homes and very few on others?

A: The number of seams in your final project is a function of the length of the siding panel used, how each row of siding is started and how the siding is installed on the home.

Q: How fire resistant is fiber cement siding?

A: While fiber-cement siding does not fireproof a home, it does provide a higher degree of protection than is available from vinyl siding. In a home fire, vinyl siding, being a petroleum product, will eventually feed the flames. Fiber-cement, by its nature, resists burning longer.

A: There are a huge number of variables involved in the cost of installing vinyl siding on your home. In all, the scope of work for your project will determine the cost of your project.
