Siding
If you have worn out siding on the outside of your home you may want to replace
it with new siding to improve its appearance. Sometimes siding can crack or blow
off your home making it look bad. It is good to make sure your home is protected
by adding new siding to it when needed. Sometimes you can just patch old siding
that has been cracked without having to replace it.

Q. What is Foam back siding and are there any benefits to it?
A. Foam back or full back siding is another term for Insulated Vinyl Siding.
It is a vinyl siding panel that is bonded or slip fit to an expanded polystyrene
foam backer. This foam backing increases the rigidity and energy efficiency of the
panel when compared to standard vinyl siding. It is a little more expensive when
compared to traditional vinyl siding, but well worth the extra expense.

to install than vinyl siding and requires more maintenance over the lifetime of
the product.
