Biggest curb-appeal change per dollar

Today’s premium vinyl is thicker, stiffer, deeper-profiled, and fade-resistant – a different product from the wavy panels that gave vinyl a bad name.
Roughly 30% less than fiber cement for a full-house transformation — and we quote both, so you can compare real numbers side by side.
The color goes all the way through the panel — scratches don't show a different color underneath, and there's nothing to peel, chip, or repaint.
Foam-backed insulated vinyl adds rigidity, quiets the walls, and wraps your home in a continuous thermal blanket.
Vinyl doesn't rot, rust, or invite insects — and premium panels are engineered to resist fading through freeze-thaw and summer sun.
Lap, dutch lap, vertical board & batten, shakes and scallops for gables — in deep, dark shades older vinyl could never hold.
An annual rinse is the whole maintenance plan. No caulk touch-ups, no stain schedule, no repaint budget.
Mix profiles the way designers do – lap on the body, board & batten on the gables, shakes on the dormers. We install premium lines through Norandex, including insulated Great Barrier® and Ascend® composite cladding.
The traditional horizontal look — dutch lap adds a shadow groove that reads like milled wood.
Vertical panels with raised battens — the modern-farmhouse look, in never-paint vinyl.
Cedar-shake texture for gables and accents — the charm without the cedar upkeep.
Foam-backed panels that lie flatter, feel solid to the knock, and add wall insulation.
We install vinyl and James Hardie – so you’ll get the straight answer on which fits your house and budget, not a pitch for whatever’s on the truck.

Vinyl gets its bad reputation from bad installation – panels nailed tight that buckle in July, crooked courses, wavy walls. Our crews hang premium vinyl to the same standard as our James Hardie Elite Preferred work: straight, properly gapped, flashed right.
