A Proven Siding Contractor

Because of our customers varying needs we provide both vinyl and composite siding.

Vinyl

The #1 product for low maintenance siding is vinyl, yet vinyl has come a long way since its early days in the 1950s when it often ended up faded, chipped, bowed and buckled. Over time it really looked worn. Not only that, in those days vinyl looked like vinyl, clearly not achieving the kind of aesthetic it has today.

 

Though appearance is certainly a priority when it comes to choosing siding, homeowners want the highest levels of insulation and durability, especially in a punishing climate like New England.

The way it wears and lasts means choosing a top-tier premium grade reinforced siding from a contractor like NH Exteriors that stays away from cost-cutting, compromised, lesser-grade materials. Because of our nearly 30-year, 15,000+ projects track record in NH, Vermont, Maine and NH, and the relationship that results with preferred manufacturers, we are able to bring our customers leading, high quality products at the best price points.

Composite

If you’re thinking about composite siding, it’s probably because it’s becoming the premier product in maintenance-free lifetime exterior protection and perfection, hence the name Everlast.®

 

But the reason homeowners choose siding is so they don’t continuously confront the problems associated with exterior wood, such as buckling, mold, chipping and more. As beautiful as it is, in any form, wood has a checkered past as it can end up performing badly when exposed to the elements!

 

Today’s cutting edge composite siding contains zero wood, made with crushed stone and manmade materials that include powerful polymer and acrylic resins, hardeners and titanium dioxide to minimize fading. The finished product is almost indistinguishable from the finest clapboard, and with a lifetime transferrable warranty.

What’s in an Installation?

Just like with other products, the quality of your siding installation, together with the materials quality will determine the way your siding looks in 10, 20 or 30 years. The best product incorrectly installed will prematurely fail, perhaps shaving 10 to 20 years from your siding’s functional lifespan. Appropriate underlay, flashing and other elements are key factors in a formula that separates a successful installation that lasts generations from one that can give you problems in a hurry, or in another worst case timing scenario, around the time you decide to sell your home.

 

As there are fewer requirements and regulations for siding installation in terms of training and licensing, many contractors who represent themselves as qualified installers are largely focused on other areas of home improvement. It’s important to make sure the work is handled by a contractor that’s as respected as the products s/he offers. NH Exteriors features dedicated, factory trained siding installers that are up to date on any and all evolving techniques and practices.

 

With expert installation, you can expect your NH Exteriors supplied and installed siding to be issue- free and last virtually forever, providing lasting beauty and protection for your home.
