Frequently Asked Questions About Siding, Windows & Doors

What are Infinity® By Marvin® Ultrex® fiberglass windows?

Infinity® by Marvin® Ultrex® fiberglass windows are known for their superior durability and energy efficiency. Ultrex® fiberglass is a patented material that is up to eight times stronger than vinyl and performs better in extreme weather conditions. These windows also offer a sleek, modern look and are virtually maintenance-free, making them an excellent long-term investment for your home.

Why should I choose fiberglass windows over vinyl or wood?

Fiberglass windows are incredibly strong, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance. Unlike vinyl windows, which can warp or discolor over time, fiberglass windows like those from Infinity® by Marvin® maintain their shape and appearance. They also offer better insulation, which can lower your energy bills. In comparison to wood windows, fiberglass does not rot, warp, or require regular painting or sealing, making it a much more durable and cost-effective option.

What is the difference between Vinyl, LP® SmartSide®, and Seamless Steel siding?

Vinyl Siding: Known for being cost-effective and low-maintenance, vinyl siding is available in many colors and styles. It resists moisture, insects, and UV damage, and is easy to clean.

LP® SmartSide®: This engineered wood siding offers the natural look of wood with added durability. It resists termites and fungal decay, and it holds paint well. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a more traditional wood appearance with modern performance.

Seamless Steel Siding: This siding is made from steel and is incredibly durable, providing superior protection against extreme weather. It’s rust-resistant, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance. The seamless design helps prevent leaks and can give your home a sleek, modern look.

How long does it take to install new windows and siding?

The timeline for installation depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Typically, window installation can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days for an average-sized home, depending on the number of windows being replaced and any customizations required.

For siding installation, an average sized home takes approximately 14 days, depending on the type of siding you’ve chosen and the complexity of the installation. Some materials, like Seamless Steel or LP® SmartSide®, may require a bit more time due to their installation processes.

We prioritize minimizing disruption to your daily life while ensuring top-quality workmanship. Our team works efficiently to complete your project on time, with minimal hassle for you.

How do I maintain my new siding?

Vinyl Siding: To keep vinyl siding looking great, simply wash it with a garden hose and a mild detergent every 6-12 months. Avoid power washing, as it can damage the surface.

LP SmartSide: This siding is low-maintenance but should be washed annually with a mild detergent and water. Regularly inspect for any signs of damage, particularly around seams or corners.

Seamless Steel Siding: Steel siding requires very little maintenance, but we recommend washing it once a year to remove dirt and debris. It’s also good to inspect it periodically for any signs of wear or rust, particularly at the edges.

Can you replace just a few windows or siding sections, or do I need to replace everything?

Our goal is to provide you with the best solution for your home and budget.

How do I know if my windows or siding need to be replaced?

If your windows are drafty, difficult to open, or show signs of condensation between the panes, it may be time for a replacement. For siding, look for signs of damage such as cracking, fading, mold, or loose panels. If your siding is showing age or no longer protecting your home from the elements, it’s a good idea to consider replacing it. We offer free inspections to help you determine the best course of action.
