Siding Reviews | Customer & Contractor Vinyl Siding Reviews

Alside Siding Reviews – I have installed Prodigy panels on probably 10 homes in the past few years. It looks real nice, has a thick foam insulation and is relatively easy to install….

CertainTeed Siding Reviews – I cladded my shop with a CertainTeed Cement Board and really like it. I found the material surprisingly brittle during installation so be careful. A smooth installation is all about the equipment…
Crane Siding Reviews – I put up Craneboard 7 on my home 2 1/2 years ago and I absolutely love it. It is about the highest grade vinyl you could buy at the time and cost roughly 5K less than Hardie fiber cement…

Smart Siding Reviews – I am a residentail home builder and have installed LP Smart siding on probably 20 houses and have not had any issues so far. In fact, I have the Smart siding on my own home. You won’t be disappointed with it. Smart siding is engineered not to shrink.

Variform Siding Reviews – I’ve found the Variform vinyl siding to be subpar if put side by side against Mastic or CertainTeed. But I only hung their siding on two jobs — I think it was Timber Oaks…

Types Of Siding

Fiber Cement Siding Reviews – My wife and I remodeled our Dutch Colonial and orignially were going to use Hardie Plank fiber cement because of its popularity (at least in the Virginia area). I actually didn’t even realize that there were other brands…
