What is the best brand of vinyl siding?

I'm going to explain the best brands of vinyl siding out there today so that you can be sure you're getting the highest quality and not getting fooled into purchasing some junk product.

First off, vinyl siding is often made by a very large manufacturer and marketed under various small names. For instance, the brand Mastic and Variform are actually made by the company ply-gem. Mastic vinyl siding was actually owned by Alcoa for a long time prior to that. These vinyl siding manufacturers are constantly buying and selling each others lines, and also discontinuing the ones that didn't perform well.

This poses a problem because the the companies will operate differently when they change, and warranties are often voided unfortunately. Also, they will often drop the suppliers that you get them from. Be careful when you select vinyl siding, and make sure to do enough research on the internet to find out more.

Certainteed, Wolverine, American Legend, Ashland, Georgia Pacific, Mastic, Alside, Alcoa, Crane, Cedar Ridge, Charter Oak, are all excellent brands of siding that you will often find at a distributor near you. Any reputable contractor will be able to obtain one of these brands at your request.

Finding a reputable contractor is also made easier through the internet if you're interested.
