Why vinyl siding
The case for vinyl, built for a Louisiana summer.
Every siding material has a pitch. This is the honest version of vinyl's, written for a Northeast Louisiana house that has to get through heat, humidity, and whatever comes off the Gulf in a given June, not a showroom in a mild climate somewhere else.
Reading the wall top to bottom
Seven reasons, in the order they matter.
No painting, ever again
A Louisiana summer is rough on a painted wall, UV, humidity, and afternoon storms rolling through take a coat down faster than most homeowners expect. Vinyl never took a coat of paint in the first place, so there is no five-year repaint cycle to plan a weekend around.
Insulates and protects the house
Siding sits over the wall assembly and helps it hold conditioned air where you want it, which matters here more months of the year than it doesn't. It also stands between the framing and whatever the weather is doing that week.
Utility bill savings
Less heat working its way through the wall means the air conditioner runs a little less hard to hold a temperature. It shows up on the bill in small amounts, but it shows up every single month.
Cuts outdoor noise
A two-lane road, a lawn crew two doors down, a highway a half mile off, a wall that is actually doing its job takes some of that off the inside of the house.
Adds value and beauty
A straight, clean exterior reads well whether you are staying another twenty years or putting the house on the market next spring. Vinyl comes in enough colors, styles, and textures now that the siding can match the house rather than the other way around.
Maintenance-free
No scraping, no recaulking, no annual walk-around checking the south side for peeling. Wash it down once in a while and that is the entire maintenance plan.
Resists weather damage, rot, peeling, dents, and scratches
Wood siding in this climate is fighting rot and insects from the day it goes up. Vinyl does not rot, does not peel, and takes a hit without leaving the kind of lasting damage that shows up on wood or old aluminum a few years down the road.
“Vinyl siding is also environmentally safe, thanks to the minimal amount of raw materials used in production. All the scraps are reprocessed and recycled.”
The part of the pitch most siding contractors skip
What it looks like on the house
It has to look right on your street, not just hold up on a spec sheet.
We install vinyl in enough colors, styles, and textures to match the house you have rather than talk you into a different one. New construction or an existing remodel, residential or commercial, the goal is the same: courses that run straight and a color that looks like it was chosen on purpose.
