FAQs
What makes your vinyl roofing and siding a low-maintenance choice for Gatlinburg homeowners?
Our vinyl panels feature a factory-applied color compound that never needs painting, plus an acrylic topcoat that resists scratching, fading, and staining. Unlike wood, vinyl will not rot, warp, or attract insects, and unlike metal it will not rust. Routine care is limited to an annual rinse with a garden hose or light-duty pressure washer—no sanding, repainting, or sealing required.
How well does vinyl withstand Gatlinburg’s humid summers and snowy winters?
Vinyl is engineered to flex with temperature changes, so it will not crack in freezing temperatures or buckle during summer heat waves. The panels are UV-stabilized to resist color fading under intense mountain sunlight, and their interlocking edges create a tight moisture barrier that prevents wind-driven rain or snow from penetrating. Many homeowners in Gatlinburg have used these systems for decades with no climate-related failures.
Can vinyl roofing and siding improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. We offer insulated vinyl siding with a contoured foam backing that boosts the wall’s R-value by up to 3.5, trimming heating and cooling costs by as much as 20 percent. Our cool-roof vinyl shingles are produced with reflective pigments that bounce solar heat away, keeping attic temperatures lower in the summer. These features can help you qualify for local energy-efficiency rebates and may increase your home’s resale value.
What colors and styles are available? I don’t want my house to look like everyone else’s.
You can choose from more than 30 standard colors—everything from classic white and coastal pastels to deep, rich barn reds and forest greens. Siding profiles include traditional lap, Dutch-lap, board-and-batten, cedar-shake, and scallop. Roofing options range from slate-look shingles to cedar-shake textures. Color is blended through the entire panel thickness, so scratches are practically invisible and fading is minimal even after years of sun exposure.
How long will a vinyl exterior last, and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Properly installed vinyl siding and roofing typically last 30–50 years. Our premium line carries a transferable, limited lifetime warranty that covers material defects, excessive fading, and hail damage up to 1.25 inches in diameter. Labor is warranted for 10 years, and extended service plans are available for additional peace of mind.
What should I expect during installation?
A standard single-family home takes three to five days to complete, depending on weather and complexity. We start with a site inspection, then remove any outdated materials, repair underlying sheathing if needed, and install an air- and water-resistive barrier. The vinyl panels snap into place with hidden fasteners, so there are no exposed nail heads. Our crews clean up daily, haul away debris, and perform a final walkthrough with you to confirm satisfaction. Most homeowners experience minimal disruption and no need to vacate the property.
