Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is the most popular exterior paneling material in all of Texas—and with good reason, too. Vinyl offers customers an impressive combination of beautiful aesthetics, inexpensive financing, and very little maintenance. The material is offered in a wide range of colors, spanning the spectrum from neutral to vibrant. Thanks to the unique pigmentation of vinyl siding, in which the color runs all the way through the entire board, its color is long-lasting and retains its saturation over time. Scratches to the surface of the board reveal the layers beneath, all of which are the same shade. This makes dents and dings practically imperceptible to the naked eye. Like fiber cement, vinyl is a synthetic material offered in a variety of forms—shingles, shakes, and boards being amongst the most common. Vinyl materials require relatively little in the way of installation, making its labor costs remarkably affordable.

Vinyl exteriors are great choices for any project, whether it’s renovating, remodeling, or starting in on brand new construction. The product’s synthetic nature enables its manufacturers to press and shape it to resemble a variety of other siding materials, including its most common form of faux wood. Getting a leg up on their inspiration, however, faux wood vinyl boards can stand up to just about any kind of weather. Thanks to their impermeable qualities, vinyl planks are not susceptible to rotting, peeling, or splitting. This also makes them easier to refresh—with built-in pigmentation, additional coats of color are rarely needed. If you do decide to paint, the stable nature of the material means that staining and scraping will not be required. It’s also easy to keep your boards clean—just take a wet rag and wipe them down.

BENEFITS OF VINYL SIDING

  • No painting or color treatment required
  • Easy to maintain
  • Available in a wide range of colors
  • Available in a wide range of styles (e.g. shakes, lap, scallops, fish scales, etc.)
  • Available with insulated backing (increased energy efficiency)
  • Durable and long-lasting

Home and business owners, commercial builders, and contractors all speak highly of vinyl exteriors. The material ranks high for its appearance and quality, as well as for the creative license which it allows those choosing the materials—there are seemingly endless combinations of color, texture, and form. In days past, vinyl was manufactured exclusively in neural tones—beige, gray, and brown amongst the most popular. That is no longer the case, however. Today, vinyl is offered in every color imaginable. If you’re looking to have your home stand out from the rest of the block, vibrant vinyl siding is calling your name. Neutral options are still on offer as well, for those pursuing a more traditional look. These hues are fully saturated and maintain their color well, though they will fade over time like any other pigment.

HISTORY OF VINYL SIDING

Introduced into the construction market in the 1950s, vinyl was originally advertised as a synthetic, sturdy alternative to aluminum siding, which was enormously popular at the time. Though its structure and formulation had not yet been perfected, leaving the product with something to be desired, it was still a welcome addition to the market and became a popular option for contractors. By the 1970s, manufacturing processes had improved to such a point that the material was a strong and high-quality contender in the market. Produced more quickly and efficiently by this time, vinyl was also less expensive, giving an extra edge in the market. Vinyl’s low maintenance, low cost, and impressive durability allowed it to take the top spot in the market. It was without competition until fiber cement came on the scene, and even ten retained much of its clientele.

Vinyl is one of the most popular siding materials in all of the great state of Texas. Many styles and levels of quality are available. The quality of a vinyl panel is directly related to its thickness. On the lower end of the vinyl quality spectrum, panels tend to run around 0.3 mils. in thickness. On the higher end, they run closer to 0.6 mils.—jumping to roughly twice the thickness. Most manufacturers offer a range of qualities and thicknesses in their vinyl lines, accommodating a wide range of budgets. Durability, while related to the thickness of the panels to some degree, is more strongly correlated with the particular formula ingredients used by the producer. Thicker boards do, however, stand up to wear and tear better than their thinner counterparts. Vinyl has a tendency to break and crack in freezing weather or when struck by a major impact, and thicker boards bear these trials more effectively than thinner boards.

Each producer of vinyl siding uses a different formula and a different process, each producing a material that is distinct from the others in a variety of small ways. Quality and longevity vary, and there are many factors to consider. One of the less commonly acknowledged factors is the presence or absence of a protective UV coating. Vinyl tends to be quite susceptible to sun damage, but a UV coating can prevent this tendency from becoming an issue. A majority of manufacturers have UV coating as a standard feature, but not all. It is important to check with your producer to see whether or not the boards you are looking at are UV protected.

TYPES OF VINYL SIDING

The construction market is home to a wide range of vinyl products. Many of the most popular shapes that the material takes are replicas—faux versions of brick, stone, and natural wood planks. With the help of constantly-evolving manufacturing techniques, producers are able to fabricate vinyl siding that accurately replicates the appearance of these other materials. Vinyl can reproduce the beauty of these products, while also offering remarkable durability, color longevity, and color variance.

Vinyl’s aesthetic appeal is considerable, and it also comes at a remarkably low price. If the siding on your home or business is beginning to fade, chip, or peel, you can update the entire building in no time with an investment in high-quality vinyl siding. No matter what your siding is now, vinyl can be the next step. The material can be installed over wood, brick, concrete, and stone. Our highly trained teams at McAllen Siding are able to transform your building in no time, taking it from lackluster to lovely before you know it. With an investment in vinyl siding, you gain increased market value for your building, as well as increased personal enjoyment of its appearance.

INSULATED VINYL SIDING

Insulated vinyl siding is a uniquely powerful product. Consisting of a regular vinyl board backed with a foam board, insulated vinyl siding works wonders for both appearance and energy efficiency. Many home and business owners who install this material report increases in energy efficiency upwards of 30% from their previous rates. While vinyl is already a durable material, adding an extra foam board to the mix lends the product even greater strength and thickness. Foam backing is also particularly well-suited to absorbing outside noise and results in marked reductions in audio pollution within buildings. This remarkable product does cost more than straight vinyl at the start, but those who invest in the additional advantages of the material see impressive returns over time.

Some of foam-insulated vinyl’s many advantages are:

  • The impressive durability of uninsulated vinyl, combined with extra strength and thickness
  • An increase in energy efficiency and resultant lower utility bills
  • A reduction in noise pollution

VINYL SIDING INSTALLATION

Vinyl is often regarded as the all-purpose exterior. It is highly adaptable and can be customized to fit any person’s style. The product stands up well under a variety of weather conditions, is easy to maintain, highly durable and long lasting, and easy to keep looking fresh. While it is easy to keep up with, vinyl can be tricky to install. Exterior industry experts recommend that the material only be installed by a licensed professional contractor. Our team here at McAllen Siding is at the ready to assist you in this matter, making your siding installation project the best possible construction experience.

Our testimonials

"Fantastic Craftsmanship!"

I could not be more pleased with the work McAllen Siding did on our house. I’m so glad that we chose them to be our contractor. Our old siding was looking pretty worn-down—it was over thirty years old, after all—so it was in dire need of an update. The McAllen team put so much work into the project, maneuvering tight spaces with apparent ease. They were fantastic communicators, always making sure we knew what was going on at any given stage. They were a friendly crew, and they managed to stay on time and on budget. I was incredibly impressed. Thank you to the entire McAllen Siding company for all of your work.

"Thank You McAllen Siding!"

Our house is incredibly close to our neighbors—a matter of inches, really—and I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to replace the siding on that wall. I called McAllen Siding and talked to them about it. They sent one of their contractors down to take a look. After looking around for a few minutes, he assured me that they could handle it. I was still a little bit doubtful, but they came out the next day with a demolition crew and got started. In just a few days our entire house was completely redone, including the wall right next to our neighbors. The crew did such a great job, and it was all for an affordable price too. I’m a big fan of McAllen Siding.

"Great people to work with"

I had such an incredible experience with the contractors at McAllen Siding. They blew all other construction experiences that I have had out of the water. They were incredibly kind and patient, and not at all pushy about finances. I was on a really tight budget but knew that my siding absolutely had to be replaced. I couldn’t afford to do it all at once, but that wasn’t a problem for them. The owner talked me through all of the options and came out to examine my siding in person. We figured out that two of the walls were significantly more damaged than the others. My budget covered the two damaged walls, and they came out and took care of them right away. The other walls will work just fine for a few more years, and then I will be calling McAllen Siding again to take care of them too.

"Impressive work, friendly crew"

McAllen Siding did such a nice job on our exterior, I hardly recognize it anymore, and that’s a good thing! Our old exterior was really looking sorry so I started reaching out to siding companies. McAllen Siding definitely had the best prices and I appreciated the great customer service I received over the phone. The owner was great and helped us walk through all of our options. We took over a week to decide on our materials but everyone we talked to and pestered with questions was extremely kind. As soon as we picked out our boards, a crew was at our house taking down the old, sorry siding. They were a great crew and the new siding was up before we knew it. Such a great experience!
