1. How will I know when siding needs to be replaced?

• Your present wood or hard board siding doesn't hold paint and is in need of repair
• Your aluminum siding has a noticeable amount of dents and is beyond a few repairs and refinishing
• You are replacing windows and would like to add insulation to existing walls to conserve energy
• You are adding an addition and the present siding is discontinued
• You don't like the appearance of your present siding

2. What should be considered when choosing a new siding?

• How long you plan to live in this home
• What types of siding the neighbors used
• Budget (in most scenarios vinyl can be most cost effective followed by aluminum, steel, fiber-cement and stone veneer

3. How can I make my home more energy efficient and comfortable?

• The blown-in system of insulation is the number one way to save energy, cancel drafts and reduce noise. Each exterior cavity is filled solid with glass fibers eliminating the transfer of air and moisture. Therefore, no drafts, no production of mold, and a significant reduction of unwanted outside noise.

4. What should I look for in a quality contractor?

• Ask your friends and/or neighbors if they have recommendations or if they would use their contractor again then ask why
• Consider local companies or individuals with a considerable amount of time in the industry, they are usually competitively priced and tend to be more dependable and personable (Be sure your not just a dollar amount towards a larger sales quota).
• Do some investigating work. Check references.
• Review warranties
• Ask for Insurance Certificates (proof of Insurance should be supplied to you before any work begins)
• Your contractor should be able to supply all necessary building permits
• Ask for lien waivers in exchange for payment
