Vinyl siding is quite quick to install, easy to maintain, inexpensive, and our vinyl siding installers are waiting eager to help solve your siding problem. Vinyl does not require paint and can be the ideal external covering for your home. The color is "baked into" vinyl siding which is why it does not require painting. The color is 100% homogeneous, meaning the color is consistent throughout the product. Even when scratched, stripped, or abraded in any way, it keeps its color. Vinyl is easy to maintain, as it has a slick surface allowing for dust, debris, and other dirt to be easily washed off with a simple garden hose.

Vinyl is also inexpensive and is likely one of the least expensive alternatives for external home coverings. Wood can be up to ten times more expensive than vinyl depending on the wood material chosen as well as the style. Fiber Cement or James Hardie Board Siding can cost up to four times as much as vinyl siding. Brick installation is also more expensive due to the labor costs. Therefore, vinyl will always be the cheapest home siding option.

Every home is different, yet a typical old siding removal and new siding installation project may take between 7 to 14 days. This definitely depends on the size of the home and other factors such as sheathing and insulation conditions underneath the existing siding. A typical vinyl siding installer crew may be able to install around 40 sq. ft. per hour which is equivalent to 300-400 sq. ft. in an 8-10 hour day.

Choosing the right season to install your vinyl siding may be a factor you would want to consider, as installations could be affected in colder climate times. As the temperatures drop, vinyl siding has a tendency to become more brittle and also the panels could be nailed in too tightly leading to other issues in the summertime as the vinyl expands.

Sheathing should be installed underneath the vinyl siding. Sheathing is recommended, as it provides a smooth and flat surface on which the vinyl siding will rest. There are several types of sheathing such as OSB, foam plastic insulating sheathing or common wood sheathings such as plywood. A water resistive barrier should also be applied, as it will stop the intrusion of incidental water.
