4. Will the original surface
of my home look different?
Liquid Vinyl
Siding retains the original shape and texture of any surface and
enhances the appearance of your home by creating a rich and luxurious
smooth to the touch satin finish.
5. What colors can I choose?
We can custom match from our selection
of over 1400 colors.
6. Is liquid vinyl breathable
and flexible?
Yes to both of these.
Liquid Vinyl Siding has a relatively high permeability rate of 15.3
perms so water vapor particles are able to escape and there is no
moisture buildup. Without moisture buildup, toxic mold cannot grow
inside the wall and cause the wood to rot. Liquid vinyl is extremely
flexible and elastic to allow the house to contract and expand with
temperature changes.

7. Will it crack, peel or
split over time?
For
over 30 years, Liquid Vinyl Siding has proven to hold up under
the most extreme weather conditions. Latex paint products do not
adequately waterproof causing ordinary paint to fail prematurely.
Liquid Vinyl allows the coated surface to breathe at a high vapor
transmission rate and at the same time,  waterproofs. Liquid Vinyl
Siding solves these problems by protecting your home and is guaranteed
never to chip, crack, split or peel off.
8. What is the Warranty?
Every Liquid Vinyl Siding job comes with
a written transferrable 30-Year Warranty directly from the manufacturer.
9. How do I evaluate you
versus the other companies marketing spray on coatings?
BUYER BEWARE! There are
copycat companies that market "spray-on" products
claiming to have Liquid Vinyl. Their names are sometimes similar
to ours but the product they sell is typically an ordinary paint
product with a slick marketing campaign.
Other products rely on ceramic
which is hard and brittle - leaving you with chips and cracks after
dramatic temperature changes, or even simple paint with only one
or two percent vinyl content, just enough to be able to legally
claim "vinyl
content" but certainly not enough to make a big difference.
The warranties being offered are also unrealistic and cannot be backed
up by the companies selling the product. Some companies are actually
using off the counter paints and private labeling the containers
with their own branded product name.
 Always
ask to see a spec sheet listing the main ingredients. See our spec
sheet-click on the ASTM icon. Always
check to see if they are members of the Better
Business Bureau and have no complaints. If a company
is reluctant to provide you with this information, beware.

10. Can I afford
Liquid Vinyl Siding?
Obviously, hiring a professional remodeler
to cast your house in Liquid Vinyl is more costly initially than
simply painting it, however, Liquid Vinyl Siding is usually less
expensive over the long run. The EPA continues to tighten environmental
restrictions on the toxic additives that makes regular paint durable.
That means paint jobs are going to deteriorate even faster than they
do now while the painting contractor's prices keep on rising.
Just
think, instead of painting your house every few years, you could
have Liquid Vinyl Siding installed and permanently rid yourself
of the expense and trouble of constant painting every few years.
Your home will be virtually maintenance-free and looking freshly
painted year after year.
When considering how much you are currently
paying to have your home or business painted every few years, Liquid
Vinyl Siding is less costly.
