What Are the Advantages to Vinyl Siding? Traditional Neighborhood Design A growing trend in new home construction — the concept of "Traditional Neighborhood Design" or "New Urbanism" — demands individuality and distinction. The choice of vinyl siding for New Urbanism projects around the country highlights the aesthetic qualities of the material to create attractive streets and outdoor spaces. Some neighborhoods use more colors, different finishes and a greater variety of cladding types with more natural, wider panel widths to distinguish houses on the streetscape. Gain Value and Curb Appeal for Your Home (NAPSI)-Good news for many homeowners who want to do something to update the look of their houses, even in a tough economy: You can still benefit from a home remodeling project. Smart investments, such as sprucing up your home's exterior with vinyl siding, can pay off in value and curb appeal. With today's wide range of vinyl siding profiles, architectural trim and accessories, plus color options to meet a variety of architectural styles, vinyl siding can deliver beauty and durability at a great value. Here are five reasons vinyl siding is a great home improvement investment: • Lowest installation cost • High return on investment • Easy to maintain • Superior green building performance • Wide range of design and color options Lowest Installation Cost and High Return On Investment Vinyl siding has the lowest total installed cost of any exterior cladding, yet offers among the highest returns on investment. Installing vinyl siding on your home is one of the top home improvement projects in terms of added value that is recouped at resale. In fact, vinyl siding, unlike painting, can qualify as a capital improvement, providing breaks on capital gains taxes when you sell your home. It's GREEN! Under the US Green Building Council and its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System, vinyl siding can earn more points than any other exterior covering.  Thus it is the "Greenest" option. Unlike wood, vinyl siding and trim do not absorb water and are not subject to insect damage; they do not pit, rust, or corrode, and they never need painting. Vinyl siding and PVC trim require less maintenance than wood and fiber cement. Return to top Will My Roof and Vinyl Siding Last?

Return to top Do you do Insurance Claims? Yes. Today, insurance companies often ask if you already have someone to do your repair for you. The insurance companies that we have worked with over the years actually prefer a home owner to already have someone they can trust to do these wind, rain, and hail damage claims. This makes their work much easier and they can readily write you the check for your years of working with them as your insurance agent, and there will far less chance of any additional damage to the interior of your home because of down time. We also do emergency repairs to prevent initial damages from creating worse damage to your home by arriving as soon as the wind, hail, rain, or tree has damaged your home. We will access the damage, take immediate pictures and email them to your insurance agent, do emergency repairs - tarp, remove the debris - and keep the home in a state that your insurance claims adjuster can still assess then damage properly. This emergency protection to your home that we provide is covered on most insurance policies. Return to top
