FAQs
What makes your vinyl roofing and siding impact-resistant compared to standard vinyl products?
Our Collegedale line is manufactured with a proprietary PVC compound that’s 25–30 % thicker than standard panels and reinforced with microscopic impact modifiers. These modifiers disperse the force from hailstones, flying debris, and wind-blown objects, preventing cracks and punctures. In lab tests (ASTM D4226 and UL 2218, Class 4), the material withstands repeated strikes from 2-inch steel balls at 90 mph—roughly the same impact energy as golf-ball-sized hail.
How will impact-resistant vinyl perform in Collegedale’s climate?
Collegedale experiences hot, humid summers, periodic hail, and the strong wind gusts that accompany thunderstorms and the tail-end of tropical systems. The UV-stabilized topcoat prevents fading and brittleness under Tennessee’s intense sun, while a flexible polymer matrix allows the panels to expand and contract without warping during rapid temperature swings. The Class A wind rating (up to 200 mph when properly fastened) and Class 4 hail rating ensure reliable protection year-round.
Is impact-resistant vinyl more expensive than traditional materials, and can it lower my insurance premiums?
Up-front, impact-rated vinyl costs roughly 15–20 % more than standard vinyl siding or three-tab asphalt shingles. However, its longer service life (30+ years), reduced repair frequency, and minimal maintenance narrow the lifetime cost gap. Many Tennessee insurers offer 5–15 % discounts on homeowner policies for roofs and siding that carry a UL 2218 Class 4 rating. We provide the certification paperwork you’ll need to request those savings.
Can impact-resistant vinyl roofing and siding improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Each panel is backed with a contoured, insulated underlayment (R-value up to 3.5) that blocks thermal bridging, reduces outside noise, and helps keep conditioned air inside. Reflective pigments in the capstock deflect a portion of infrared radiation, lowering attic and wall temperatures by 10–12 °F on sunny days. Combined, these features can cut cooling loads by 5–10 %, which is significant during Collegedale’s humid summers.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage do you offer?
The panels never need painting or staining. Seasonal maintenance is limited to a low-pressure rinse with a garden hose and mild detergent, plus a quick inspection after severe storms. We back the product with a lifetime limited warranty that covers color fade (ΔE ≤ 3), hail damage, and wind uplift up to the rated speed when installed by our certified crew. The warranty is fully transferable to the next homeowner for 30 years, which can boost resale value.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard 2,000-sq-ft Collegedale home typically requires 3–4 days for siding replacement and 2–3 additional days for vinyl roofing, weather permitting. Our crews work in stages—tear-off, underlayment, panel installation—so parts of your home remain protected at all times. We use debris-containment nets and magnet rollers to keep your lawn and driveway clean, and most homeowners experience only minimal noise during working hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m.).
