Insulated Siding
in Southeast Michigan

Siding with its winter coat built in. CertainTeed insulated vinyl bonds a shaped foam backing to every panel, hung over a free inspection and backed by a 15-year labor warranty.

Siding Options
We Install

Every wall we side starts the same way: a free inspection of what is up there now, and a written number before anything is ordered. These are the panels we hang.

What It Costs

The Price Comes
in Writing First

We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.

Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.

In Detail

Insulated Siding, in Depth

Insulated siding is vinyl siding that arrives wearing its own coat: a rigid foam backing, shaped to the exact profile of the panel, bonded on before it ever reaches the wall. The vinyl we hang comes from CertainTeed, and the insulated configurations are the same fade-resistant panels with the thermal layer built in.

How It Works

The insulation inside a wall sits between the studs, which means the studs themselves are bare bridges from the warm side to the cold side, and a framed wall is striped with them. A foam layer applied outside the sheathing crosses those bridges instead of stopping at them, wrapping framing and cavities alike in one continuous blanket. Insulated siding delivers that layer without a separate foam-boarding job, because the coat is bonded to the cladding that was going up anyway.

Stiffer, Straighter, Quieter

The foam does a second job nobody advertises: it fills the hollow behind the panel. Filled panels hang stiffer and lie flatter along a wall that has moved with eighty Michigan winters, resist the dents and rattle that hollow vinyl can develop, and mute the drum of hard rain. On an older Downriver house whose walls have never been perfectly true, the difference shows from the curb.

Insulated or Standard Vinyl?

Standard CertainTeed vinyl is already a durable, fade-resistant wall, and it costs less; if the house has sound wall insulation and the budget is tight, it is a fine choice. Insulated earns its premium on homes with little or no insulation in the walls, on the north and windward faces that take winter first, and on any project where the goal is the tightest envelope the re-side can deliver. The inspection is free either way, and the estimate prices both so the comparison is yours to make.

Living With It

Upkeep is the same as any vinyl wall we hang: wash it down when the season turns, and forget it otherwise. The color runs through the panel, the finish never needs paint, and the foam behind it never shows its face again after installation day. It is the rare upgrade that works hardest in January and asks nothing in July.

The Whole Exterior

Windows, Doors
and Siding

Most exteriors need more than one thing done. When the windows, doors, and siding all go through one local company, the warranty, the crew, and the phone number stay the same from the first opening to the last panel.

The Advantages

Why Choose
Insulated Siding

Standard siding protects the wall; insulated siding also warms it. A foam layer shaped to the back of each panel wraps the house in one continuous coat, covering the studs that plain wall insulation cannot reach.

Foam-Backed Panels

Rigid insulation is bonded to the panel itself, so the coat goes up with the siding in one pass.

Covers the Studs

Wall insulation stops at every stud; a continuous outside layer blankets the framing too.

Hangs Straighter

The foam stiffens each course and follows old walls honestly, so long runs stay true.

Same Wash-It Upkeep

It is still CertainTeed vinyl on the outside: fade-resistant color through the panel, nothing to paint.

Insulated Siding Questions

Insulated Siding,
Answered

What exactly is insulated siding?

Vinyl siding with a rigid foam backing shaped to the panel and bonded to it at the factory. The wall gets new cladding and a continuous outer layer of insulation in the same installation, including over the studs that interior insulation cannot cover.

Is insulated siding worth the extra cost?

It depends on the wall. Homes with little insulation in the walls, cold north faces, or a comfort problem the furnace cannot fix are where it earns its premium. On a well-insulated house standard vinyl may be the smarter spend, and we price both at the estimate so you can see the gap.

Does it change how the siding looks?

From the curb it reads as premium vinyl: the same CertainTeed profiles and fade-resistant colors, usually hanging a little straighter because the foam stiffens every course against the wall's old waves.

Who actually hangs the siding?

The inspection and the quote cost nothing, the full number comes in writing before anything is ordered, and the 15-year labor warranty on the installation comes from us.

«Everyone was terrific and the windows are beautiful. So much so that we told friends in Woodhaven that they should call them when they indicated that they were interested in all new windows for their own house. They also went with Adkins and are very happy with the people and the work that was done.»
