Eco-friendly Siding Types

More homeowners are making eco-friendliness a priority when building or remodeling their homes, including cladding the exterior. Therefore, recycled siding products are growing in popularity, most notably fiber cement products.

Fiber cement, or "concrete" siding, is not concrete exactly. Made of cement, sand, cellulose, or wood fibers, fiber cement siding is more durable, affordable, and eco-friendly than wood. It also has insulation properties that make the siding and home more energy efficient.

Aluminum or steel siding can also be recycled, and then recycled again if need be. This potential for little or no waste is the main point of attraction for metal siding. On the other hand, metal siding uses a lot of energy in manufacturing and offers little to no insulation value.

Vinyl siding can be made from recycled plastics. Add to this the built-in insulation that is growing in popularity, and you have a recycled, efficient type of siding.

Other composite wood siding products may also contain recycled wood materials. Engineered wood products used recycled content to form compressed and more durable wood siding options.

Here is what has been said about our Siding Contractors:

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to come out to my house to assess my damage and to explain my options to me.  The guys that came out to do the work were very professional and very nice.  They did a beautiful job and I wanted them and you to know that we really appreciate their work.  It looks very nice - and now we no longer have birds building nests up in our attic (smile).  Thanks again for always being so helpful.                      

Dear Danny,  

My husband and I wish to thank you and your company for the beautiful job you have done on our house.

You and your company certainly live by the golden rule.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is exactly what you did for us.

We had so called professionals work on the house before, the result was a disaster.  My daughter-in-law came to our rescue by giving us your name and phone number.

You came and talk to us face to face giving us ideas for repairing and fixing our home.

The job done by you is perfect.  I am so happy with the windows and doors installed by your Integrity.  There are no gaps, no sags, and no drafts.  I highly recommend you to anyone wishing to have work done on their home.  Your phone number is in our phone book, ready to be dialed when your service is needed.  We once more thank you for a job well done.  Your service was courteous, polite and friendly.   

We wish you well,  

Best regards,  

Jim and Madeleine Witten
