Offering A Wide Color Spectrum.Manufacturers offer premium .046 vinyl siding in dozens of colors ranging from traditional tones to dark hues and even multi-chromatic cedar-like colors. Color preference is very subjective, so it’s nice to have a wide variety of options to share with your clients. With .046 vinyl siding in stock from CertainTeed, Mastic Home Exteriors, and Royal Building Products, we have the inventory to back up your sales of premium vinyl siding. Use color options to differentiate your product offering!

Accenting with Vinyl Shake.You can create incredible contrast when an individual

facade or gable end is clad in an accent color vinyl shake. It’s a technique that’s quite popular in new construction these days, and in a remodeling setting it could be just the right touch to modernize your client’s project and boost curb appeal.

Including vinyl shake and shingles as an upgrade option in your proposals can help you win more business as a result. We stock several vinyl shake & shingle offerings in several profiles, from the richly colored to the installer-friendly.

Showing it Installed.Let your clients see the possibilities in a way no sample board, brochure, or flip book can allow. Our premium vinyl siding offerings can be seen installed on our professional showroom displays, demonstrating colors and textures on a much larger scale. Our knowledgeable inside sales representatives are here

to assist you with your sales process as well - offering samples, providing literature, and answering any product questions you or your client might have. We’re happy to help you
