What to compare between vinyl products

Profile. Traditional lap, Dutch lap (with a small cove along each course), beaded, vertical board-and-batten and shake-style panels for gables. Many houses mix two.Thickness and rigidity. Thicker panels and panels with deeper nailing hems lie flatter on a wall and resist wind better. Ask what thickness is being quoted.Color. Darker colors absorb more heat. Some lines are made for darker shades; ask whether the color you want is rated for full sun.How it is hung. Vinyl grows and shrinks with temperature, so it is nailed in the center of the slots and not driven tight, with gaps left at corners and trim. Michigan's swing from summer heat to winter cold makes this detail matter more than most.

Vinyl Siding: common questions

Why does vinyl siding look wavy?

Usually because it was nailed too tight to move with temperature, or the wall behind it is uneven. A contractor can tell which by looking at the nailing.

Can vinyl siding be painted?

It can with paints made for vinyl, but darker colors than the original can warp the panels. Replacement is often the cleaner fix for faded vinyl.

Does vinyl siding need a permit in Rochester Hills?

The city lists aluminum or vinyl siding with no structural work as not needing a building permit. Structural repairs found under the siding are a different matter.
