FAQs
How well does premium vinyl siding perform in Philadelphia’s varied climate?
Our premium vinyl siding is engineered for the Mid-Atlantic climate spectrum—hot, humid summers, cold winters, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. The panels feature impact-modified PVC resin that resists cracking down to –25 °F, while built-in UV inhibitors and color-through technology prevent fading in summer sun. Each profile is also rated to withstand winds up to 200 mph, making it a durable choice for Philadelphia’s nor’easters and thunderstorm gusts.
Is vinyl really suitable for roofing applications, and how does it compare with asphalt shingles?
Yes. The proprietary PVC membrane we install as a "vinyl roof" is a thick, single-ply sheet heat-welded at the seams, creating a fully waterproof surface ideal for low-slope or flat residential roofs common in Philly row homes. Compared with asphalt shingles, a vinyl system offers: (1) longer service life—up to 50 years; (2) superior reflectivity, lowering summer cooling costs by 15-20 %; (3) resistance to algae, mold, and hail; and (4) fewer maintenance requirements because there are no granules to shed or shingles to lift.
What kind of maintenance will my vinyl siding or roof require?
Maintenance is minimal. For siding, an annual rinse with a garden hose or soft-bristle brush removes surface dust and pollen. Avoid pressure washers over 1,300 psi to keep the finish intact. For vinyl roofing, inspections each spring and fall (we offer them free for the first five years) are usually sufficient; debris removal from drains and checking sealant boots around penetrations are the primary tasks. No repainting, staining, or chemical treatments are ever needed.
Are there energy-efficiency benefits to choosing your premium vinyl solutions?
Absolutely. Our siding panels are available with an integrated R-3.8 rigid-foam backing that creates a thermal break, reducing wall-cavity heat loss by up to 23 %. The white-membrane vinyl roof we install carries an ENERGY STAR rating with a solar reflectance index (SRI) of 90+, deflecting heat and cutting attic temperatures by 30-40 °F. Many Philadelphia homeowners see a combined heating-and-cooling savings of 8-15 % annually.
How long does installation take, and will my landscaping or interior be disrupted?
A typical Philadelphia row home or twin requires 2-4 days for a complete vinyl roof retrofit and 4-6 days for full-house siding. We use dump trailers instead of roll-off containers when space is tight to keep streets clear, and we lay protective tarps to shield gardens and walkways. Because vinyl panels are lightweight, there is minimal vibration—your interior walls and décor remain undisturbed.
What warranties and post-install support do you provide?
You receive a 50-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty covering material defects, fade, and hail impact for both the siding and roofing membrane. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 15 years, including free service calls within 48 hours for any leak or panel issue. Annual inspections and discounted gutter cleanings are included for the first five years, and all warranty paperwork is filed automatically with the manufacturer, so it remains valid even if you sell your home.
