Our esteemed siding contractors offer a meticulous vinyl siding inspection service, showcasing our unwavering commitment to your home's well-being. With a keen eye for detail and a wealth of expertise, our professionals thoroughly assess the condition of your vinyl siding, searching for signs of wear, damage, or potential issues that may compromise its effectiveness.
If your home has experienced any water damage, the inspector will look for signs of mold or mildew. They will also check to see if the insulation is still in good condition and whether it needs to be replaced. In addition, they will examine the framing of your home to make sure there is no structural damage that needs to be repaired.
If you’ve recently been hit with a big storm, now is the time to call in a professional for an inspection, because hail storms can bring plenty of punishment to a home, either in a single storm or several spread out over the years.

The benefits of vinyl siding for your home
There is no shortage of positive attributes homeowners can discuss about their vinyl siding choices. At VIS Exterior, we only work with the best materials, so we know the benefits of having vinyl siding installed on your home.
Variety of styles, textures and color choices
No matter what your preference is in color, style or texture, there’s bound to be a fit in vinyl siding from multiple suppliers. Manufacturers have gone out of their way to offer products that appeal to absolutely anyone’s unique wants and needs.
Affordable price
No other siding type is as friendly to a budget as vinyl siding. Not only is it an affordable material, it’s also affordable to install because it doesn’t take as long as other siding types. This means you’re saving money on materials and labor.
Durable and long-lasting
Unlike other materials, pests do not eat or live in vinyl siding, which is one of the reasons it lasts so long. Manufacturers have made their vinyl siding more impact resistant, so it’s not going to buckle under normal storm situations. Even the color has been safeguarded so it won’t fade under the sun’s glare.
Energy efficient
Keeping the cold air out in the winter and hot air out in the summer, vinyl siding’s insulating properties are an important part of keeping everyone inside the home comfortable through all seasons. Comfort is important, but so too is saving money on utility bills. Vinyl siding offers energy-efficient properties that every homeowner desires.
Quick installation
Nobody wants to endure weeks of home improvement projects. In a situation where no surprises await under the old siding (rotted wood or various repairs required), vinyl siding can be installed in a matter of days. Quick installation means you get your home’s facade upgraded and your life back to normal really fast.
Low maintenance
Unlike natural wood and other siding types, vinyl siding requires little maintenance. There is no painting or sealing required, so all your vinyl siding will need is the occasional rinse to get the dust or dirt off.
Low cost and durability make vinyl an attractive choice. With so many styles and color options to choose from, homeowners get to be creative and choose a look that makes the design statement that speaks to their unique preferences. Vinyl style options include beaded seam, smooth, board and batten, as well as shingle. If the variety of choices leaves you a little confused or overwhelmed, this is where VIS Exterior steps in to save the day.
Being an experienced siding contractor, we are familiar with the siding options on the market, and our knowledge has helped many families improve the curb appeal of their homes. Our team can help you decide between the many brands and options available and choose the siding that best fits your property, your individual aesthetic preferences and your budget.
Installing the best vinyl siding
The answer to, “what is the best vinyl siding?” is that it is largely up to the preference of the homeowner. Everyone has different wants and needs and vinyl siding is made with plenty of options from which to choose. But at VIS Exterior, we know that despite the style and color, the most important aspect is a siding’s durability. The most durable siding not only looks great, but it is also energy efficient and will hold up to punishment. When you work with us, we’ll make sure you’re getting the look and protection you want and need for your home.
Choose the best type and style of vinyl siding for your home
The most popular vinyl siding styles are the ones that look fantastic, but also have the respect of contractors. When you work with a seasoned pro, you’ll have someone who knows about all types of products and can help you choose the best type of vinyl siding for your home.
Vinyl siding types
How do you want your home to look? Are you aiming for a more traditional, classical style or are you trying to create a more unique aesthetic? Horizontal siding is more traditional and is what you’ll see on many residential homes. Vertical siding is used to create a specific design that creates an elongated illusion. What about siding sizes – which width will match your architectural style? VIS Exterior has worked with practically every type of home and can help you find the right siding style for yours.
Vinyl siding comes in these types:
Horizontal vinyl siding
The most common type is horizontal vinyl siding. It’s available in everything from shiplap to Dutch lap, clapboard to beaded, just to name a few. The horizontal aesthetic simply fits so many different styles of home, which lends to its popularity.
Vertical vinyl siding
Vertical vinyl siding offers a distinctive and modern alternative to traditional siding styles. Characterized by its upright panels, it creates a unique visual appeal that can significantly enhance the architectural character of a home. This style is particularly popular for accentuating height and adding a sense of elegance to the structure.
Mixing horizontal and vertical siding
Mixing horizontal and vertical vinyl siding presents an innovative approach to home exteriors, offering a dynamic and contemporary aesthetic. This combination allows for creative freedom in design, enabling homeowners to accentuate different architectural features of their property. Horizontal siding can provide a classic, grounded look, while vertical panels add a touch of modernity and height. The juxtaposition of these orientations creates a visually engaging texture and depth, making it an ideal choice for those looking to make a distinctive architectural statement.
No matter the aesthetic idea, siding is only as good as the contractor installing it. When you partner with VIS Exterior, we’ll help you choose the right siding, but we’re also committed to using only the best brands and ensuring the installation process is flawless.
Vinyl siding styles
There are a handful of popular siding product materials out there, but if you choose the #1 type – vinyl – you still have many choices to make, as vinyl comes in so many styles and colors. It’s important to research each of the styles below so that you can determine which one would work best with your tastes and preferences.
Vinyl siding styles come in 12 different varieties:
Clapboard vinyl siding
Clapboard siding consists of 4 inches planks that are nailed lengthwise. Their texture is like that of wood, and they overlap each other to create a shadow that produces an intriguing profile. Clapboard has been one of the most common types of vinyl siding since Colonial Times in the US. Hence, they are a common choice among people who prefer living in traditional-looking homes.
Traditional lap vinyl siding
Traditional lap vinyl siding has its roots in utility, as the overlapped installation of this siding type is perfect for preventing water/moisture from becoming a problem. Traditional lap siding is most often manufactured in 6-inch planks and is one of the most widely used siding types.
Dutch lap vinyl siding
When homeowners want a slight departure from traditional lap siding, they choose Dutch lap vinyl siding, as it has a sharper bevel, creating a more unique impression with stronger shadows. Dutch lap siding offers a bolder look due in part to its slightly concave face.
Smooth vinyl siding
Smooth vinyl siding has been around for decades, but textured varieties have taken the lead as favorites in many areas of the country. However, for those going for that contemporary look, the smooth siding aesthetic is the go-to option.
Wood grain vinyl siding
For those who love the look of real wood, choosing wood grain vinyl siding is the way to get the appearance but without the expense. The wood look of vinyl siding is quite convincing, as manufacturers today have nearly perfected the process of creating the appearance of authentic cedar and other species.
Beaded seam vinyl siding
While vinyl siding is the most budget-friendly material, among the more costly is beaded seam vinyl siding, as achieving the right aesthetic requires a thicker manufacturing process, thus adding to the cost of the material. If you're looking for deep shadow lines, this siding does the trick.
Board and batten vinyl siding
Board and batten vinyl siding, which is often widely referred to as “barn siding,” is among the widest on the market, often reaching 12 inches. And like barn siding, board and batten is most often installed vertically.
Cedar shake vinyl siding
Cedar shake vinyl siding brings the unique and rustic quality of authentic cedar shake, but without the expense of upkeep. If you’re not a fan of regular maintenance but love the cedar shake look, going with the vinyl version brings the best of both worlds.
Traditional shake siding
The key difference between shake and traditional shake siding is that the traditional version is installed horizontally, offering a different shadow line. If you are more attracted to the straight shadow lines, traditional shake is the option for you.
Hand-split (staggered edge) siding
Staggered edge siding provides an appearance more closely tied to cedar shake than what is apparent on traditional shake. Also called hand split shake vinyl siding, this option comes in full panels, which can cut down on installation time but also offers a unique aesthetic.
Half-round (scalloped) siding
Half-round vinyl siding is probably better known as scalloped siding, but is also referred to as fish scale siding. The half-round vinyl shape is often used to accent areas of the facade, including gables. Some homeowners will choose horizontal siding for the bottom half of the home, and opt for scalloped siding to be installed on the upper, angled portion.
Log vinyl siding
Another more costly option for material is the log vinyl siding style. Achieving the rustic look of a log cabin, this siding is known for its ability to withstand some tough weather and also prevent mold buildup. While it’s not one of the more common options, having an experienced contractor install this type of siding is a must.
Most homeowners lean toward a specific type of siding well before they contact a contractor, so if you’ve got something in mind for your home, feel free to talk it over with the experts at VIS Exterior. If one of the options we’ve described above interests you, let us help you determine if it will fit your home well.
Select the best vinyl siding brand from reputable manufacturers
When you work with the right contractor you can be sure you’re getting the best vinyl siding brand for your home. VIS Exterior has so many years in this industry that we know all the best vinyl siding manufacturers and the various warranties offered by each. The following are among the best.

Cost to install vinyl siding
The cost to install vinyl siding is low compared to other materials, which only adds to its popularity. This is important because when you hire a vinyl siding installation company, the bulk of the bill will go toward labor, so when the material you choose is easy to install, you’re going to save money.
When someone asks, “how much does it cost to do vinyl siding on my home?” The answer will vary depending on the siding they choose, the size of the home and factors that can make the installation difficult or easy. There are many factors involved in determining cost, which is why at VIS Exterior, we take careful consideration of everything in our initial assessment of the project and offer an accurate estimate. Then, we can work with the homeowner by evaluating their budget and determining the best solution for them.
The following at the factors that affect vinyl siding cost:
- Material thickness. The durability and fade resistance of vinyl siding increase with its thickness, which also affects its cost. Thicker materials generally command a higher price due to their enhanced quality and longevity.
- Style variations. The cost varies depending on the style of vinyl siding chosen. Basic, plain vinyl is typically more affordable compared to textured or feature-rich options.
- Home size and complexity. The overall cost is directly proportional to the size and architectural complexity of your home. Larger homes with intricate designs necessitate more materials and labor, leading to higher installation costs.
- Customization and details. Vinyl siding needs to be custom-cut to fit the unique contours and features of your home’s exterior, including vents and other architectural details. This customization process can influence the final cost of the siding project.
- Existing siding removal. If the project involves removing old siding, this will add to the labor costs. The extent of removal required can significantly impact the overall expense of the installation.
Every project is unique, so without a thorough inspection of the home, it’s difficult to pin down an accurate estimate. At VIS Exterior, we believe in providing our clients with free hail inspections and offer detailed written estimates for the entire project. Being experienced in the field, we know what challenges come with different styles of houses, so our estimates are accurate and account for all the variables that impact the price of a project.
