Vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood
ExteriorMax installs four siding systems. Styles and colors are walked at the house, not picked from a city catalog.
CertainTeed vinyl is the low-upkeep option. Insulated vinyl uses foam-backed panels and can raise overall R-value about 22%, with better sound control. James Hardie fiber cement is the painted-wood look, with fire, rot, and insect resistance. LP SmartSide engineered wood is factory-finished wood grain without the warp.
The old siding comes off and the wall is checked before the new panels go up. Panels are hung and flashed around windows and doors. Soffit, fascia, and trim are matched to the house.
Cracked panels, chalking color, soft trim, and rooms that will not hold temperature are the signs the siding page uses. A county weather headline is not a siding inspection.
