Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does vinyl siding reduces the value of your home?

    Vinyl siding actually increases your home’s value. A 2022 Home Remodeling Impact Report – published by the NAR (National Association of Realtors) in cooperation with the NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) holds that a vinyl siding upgrade will raise your home’s value by 82% of the project’s cost. This is an increase of almost 20% from the 2019 Home Remodeling Impact Report, which strongly suggests that there has been greater market awareness of vinyl siding’s overall benefits and product improvements in recent years.


    Therefore, by adding a fresh appearance to your exterior with a durable, low maintenance and energy-efficient cladding, vinyl siding increases your home’s value.

  • Does vinyl siding warp and buckle?

    Vinyl siding expands and contracts as the weather outside changes. In the summer, when temperatures skyrocket, vinyl siding expands. Issues like warping and buckling only occur when siding is not installed properly. Fortunately, High Quality Exteriors is certified as a vinyl siding installer. Who help ensure that your home’s vinyl siding looks terrific and performs well for years to come.

  • Does vinyl siding melt?

    Vinyl siding only has the potential for melting when exposed to concentrated sunlight reflecting from energy-efficient (a.k.a “low-e”) windows, which is not very common. The “melting vinyl siding” tactic is perhaps the most popular negative marketing approach used by competitors – and the internet is filled with these false claims. Interestingly, multiple competitors use the same bogus melted vinyl siding image to prove their point. The truth is that other exteriors and materials, including cedar shingles and painted surfaces, are also impacted by this phenomenon. This issue is related to window design and can easily be prevented by using sunshades above low-e windows or a variety of landscaping options to block the path of sunlight.

  • Is vinyl siding difficult to recycle?

    Vinyl siding may be the most recyclable material in the home building industry. Research from the Vinyl Institute reports that 1+ billion pounds of vinyl/PVC is recycled annually in North America, and most of the recycled vinyl comes from pre-consumer recycling. Vinyl siding recycling starts at the beginning of its lifecycle – the manufacturing. VSI member manufacturers invented and continuously perfected the co-extrusion process, so there is less than 1% waste. All materials on the “cutting room floor” are recycled to make more vinyl siding. As for the aftermarket, 99% of vinyl siding scrap can be returned to the manufacturing process – and not just for VSI member manufacturers. Other PVC manufacturers recycle the vinyl siding scrap to make decks, patio furniture, vinyl windows and more.

  • Is vinyl siding not eco-friendly?

    Vinyl siding’s lifecycle impact on global warming is significantly lower than other cladding products. That includes 79% less impact than fiber cement and 85% less impact than brick and mortar (based on analysis using Building for Environment and Economic Sustainability.

  • Do I need to paint my house before the siding installation?

    No. Whether you are replacing your existing siding with vinyl or James Hardie® siding, we will remove your existing siding in order to install the new product, and you’ll most likely never paint it again.

  • Soffits and Eaves – How will I take care of that in the future?

    That is the great thing about our Service. Not only can we wrap your home in new long-lasting siding, but we can also take care of your soffits and eaves, making the exterior of your home virtually maintenance-free. Soffit and eaves are a very important complement to the siding. New soffits not only will improve your attic air circulation, but will enhance the curb appeal of your home. 

  • What about color options?

    Sometimes we hear from our customers that there are too many color options to choose from. Don’t worry, our field representatives will have plenty of samples to help you choose the right colors for your home.

  • Will the siding crack, fade, buckle, or sag?

    When siding was introduced in the 1950s, it had these types of issues. Ongoing changes in the product’s chemistry and installation techniques have improved its performance and furthered its acceptance by homeowners.

  • Are there any design options?

    Yes! We have the opportunity to uniquely design your house not only with new color choices, but also different patterns and products. Scallops can be added to your gables, or we can put on Wainscot wood-appearance shingles under your windows and on the front porch.

  • What about rot?

    Contrary to what many people expect, vinyl or James Hardie (as long as these are installed by manufacture specification) are actually less likely than wood to trap moisture, and these products have been designed to allow moisture to be drawn from the home and expelled through the bottom of the siding panel. 

  • Will I ever have to do anything to my new siding?

    To keep Siding looking its best, it should be washed periodically to remove the mold, mildew, dirt, and chalky oxidation that collects on the surface.

  • What if it is damaged?

    Repairing a damaged panel is simple. With a zip tool and a flick of the wrist, it simply unhooks from the ones above and below, then you can pull out the nails. A new panel can then be snapped in place, nailed, and re-hooked.

  • Is my new siding energy efficient?

    New insulated siding can add another R2 to R4 to your home. We always say that new siding is like “wrapping a warm blanket around your home,” and you will no longer have to worry about all those drafts coming through your existing walls.

  • Why should I consider New Siding for my home?

    Today’s siding products can mimic wood, insulate your home, and even stand up to tornado-force winds, making them a highly desirable exterior cladding option.

  • I live on a busy road, can new siding help with noise reduction?

    Not only is new siding energy efficient and available in many different colors, it also reflects radiant heat and reduces thermal conductivity to help keep your house cool. The siding also reduces noise by up to 45 percent – perfect for blocking your neighbor’s garage band.
