FAQs
What is insulated vinyl siding and why is it a smart choice for Charleston homes?
Insulated vinyl siding is traditional vinyl siding that comes bonded to a rigid foam-core backing. The foam increases the wall’s overall R-value, blocks outside noise, and stiffens each panel so it lays flat and resists impact. For Charleston homeowners, that means lower cooling costs during our long, humid summers, quieter interiors, better protection against wind-borne debris, and a finish that never needs painting.
How well does insulated vinyl siding stand up to Charleston’s heat, humidity, and hurricane-level winds?
Premium insulated vinyl siding is engineered to handle wind speeds of 110–180 mph, meeting or exceeding South Carolina coastal building codes. The interlocking panels shed heavy rain, the foam backing repels moisture to prevent mold, and UV-stable pigments protect color from the intense Lowcountry sun. Unlike wood, it will not swell, rot, or peel in our salty, humid air.
Can insulated vinyl siding really reduce my energy bills?
Yes. The foam backing adds up to R-4 of continuous insulation over the studs, eliminating many of the wall’s thermal bridges. Independent studies show Charleston homeowners can save 10–20 % on annual heating and cooling costs, especially in older houses that lack wall insulation. Lower HVAC run-times also translate into longer equipment life.
What kind of maintenance will I need to do after the siding is installed?
Very little. The color is molded through the vinyl, so it never needs scraping, sanding, or repainting. A simple rinse with a garden hose once or twice a year removes salt spray and pollen. The panels are impervious to termites, woodpeckers, and rot, and the foam backing will not absorb water or support mold growth.
How long will installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
For an average 2,000 sq ft Charleston home, removal of the old cladding, wall prep, and installation of new insulated vinyl siding typically takes 3–5 working days. Our crew works entirely outside, so you can stay in your home, use your driveway, and keep pets inside. We schedule deliveries, dumpsters, and final inspections to minimize neighborhood impact.
What warranty and financing options do you provide for insulated vinyl siding projects?
You’ll receive a transferable limited lifetime manufacturer warranty that covers color fade, hail impact, and material defects, plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee. We also offer several financing plans, including 0 % same-as-cash for 12 months or low-interest payments spread over up to 144 months, so you can start enjoying energy savings right away.
