Let me tell you about a project from last summer in Columbus Ohio that really showcased why CertainTeed vinyl siding stands out as one of the best choices for a top-tier installation.
We were working on a classic two-story home in a quiet suburban neighborhood around Columbus —solid structure, but the old siding had seen decades of sun, wind, and the occasional hailstorm. The homeowners wanted something that would deliver lasting beauty without the constant upkeep of wood or the higher cost of fiber cement. After walking the property and reviewing their goals—strong curb appeal, energy efficiency, and peace of mind—we recommended CertainTeed’s Monogram line for the main body and Cedar Impressions accents around the gables.
CertainTeed has been a leader in vinyl since the 1960s, and their reputation comes from genuine innovation: industry-leading fade resistance through PermaColor technology, which keeps colors vibrant for decades, and a lifetime limited warranty that covers the original homeowner against manufacturing defects. The Monogram series, in particular, uses TrueTexture to mimic real cedar grain with impressive depth and realism—thicker panels (up to 0.046 inches) for better impact resistance, RigidForm 210 technology for wind loads up to 210 mph, and a wide palette of sophisticated shades that mix and match beautifully.
For this install, the Free Flow Builders crew started with a thorough preparation: removing the old siding, inspecting and repairing the sheathing, applying a high-quality weather-resistant barrier, and ensuring a smooth, flat surface. Proper installation is key—leaving room for thermal expansion, using corrosion-resistant fasteners, and following CertainTeed’s guidelines to avoid common issues like buckling. We incorporated insulated foam-backed panels where possible to boost energy efficiency and reduce drafts, which the homeowners noticed immediately in lower heating costs.
The result was stunning. The Monogram clapboard gave a clean, timeless look, while the Cedar Impressions polymer shakes added authentic texture and character without the maintenance headaches. The home looked polished and inviting, and the homeowners loved that it required only occasional cleaning to stay pristine.
