• Vinyl Siding Installation

  Beauty With its unmatched selection of profiles, shapes, textures, and colors, vinyl siding can play a beautiful role in your home’s exterior design — and will keep looking great year after year. You will not believe the selections that are waiting for you to choose from. You can choose between horizontal and vertical profiles, shakes, scallops and other accent and whole house profiles. There are varying textures from smooth to deep wood grain as well as beaded clapboard and dutchlap designs. You are no longer limited to two or three colors; you now have dozens of colors to choose from, including barn reds, several different shades of green and different hues of blue! Strength Exterior cladding has a vitally important job to perform — protecting your home from the elements. Deftly withstanding winds of 110 mph (and most achieve a wind rating higher than that), and resisting the weathering effects of heat, cold, and moisture, properly installed vinyl siding will retain its great looks, guaranteed. Value Now imagine you get all the above mentioned protection without ever needing to paint, stain, caulk or re-paint! Vinyl siding demands the least amount of your time and money to maintain and as a time-starved homeowner, that’s one less thing for you to worry about! Unlike other exterior covering, vinyl siding only requires simple, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water. There are no worries about rotting, splitting, or insect damage. Even with everything that vinyl siding offers, what homeowners seem appreciate most is its value. Vinyl siding manufacturers generally offer a lifetime warranty for the original home owner and typically carry a limited warranty to subsequent owners. Vinyl siding consistently ranks among the highest return on investments for remodeling projects. Installation All of the beauty, benefits, durability and value of vinyl siding are great, but they mean NOTHING if it is not installed properly! The vinyl siding industry is unregulated and installers aren’t required to do any special training or to be licensed. Unlike the electric and plumbing industry, no one holding vinyl siding installers accountable for the work they do on people’s homes. Not even the VSI Institute which some companies in this industry brag about being affiliated with and “VSI Certified”. Why? The VSI Institute/Certification is very basic and it does NOT hold installers accountable. They don’t have a “code of ethics” or a standard of excellence the installers have to adhere to. It is a sticker that gives you, the home owner a false sense of security with absolutely NO protection. Companies can sell you the most expensive vinyl siding in the market, but if they do not send in a team of installers who know how to PROPERLY install it, you simply have an expensive vinyl siding that will look good for a while (if you’re lucky), but it definitely will not have the lifespan that you were promised. Then, you will have to pay to have it redone because guess what? IF IT ISN’T INSTALLED PROPERLY, IT VOIDS THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY! Some individual installers and companies won’t even repair their work. They will tell you to call the manufacturer. Not Wilson’s!

• Vinyl Window Installation

  Arkansas home owners used to see vinyl-framed windows as cheap and unflattering. Advancements, however, have not only made vinyl frames more aesthetic, but more energy efficient than wood or aluminum. Plenty of inexpensive and physically inferior window frames are on the market, so you should pay attention to a variety of factors. Wilson’s Home Improvement wants Arkansans to be sure they get the best possible replacement window for their money. Good Vinyl Characteristics Vinyl window frames are made from polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, the same plastic used in plumbing and electrical pipes. Several chemicals, fillers, plasticizers and pigments comprise PVC, all of which are available in different grades of quality. Better vinyl costs more. One indicator of quality is color. If the vinyl has a bluish tint to it, chances are it does not have sufficient quantities of titanium dioxide and organic tin. Take care, though, as some manufacturers add a bluish tint to their product, which some people think is more aesthetically pleasing. Frame Construction When shopping for vinyl frame windows, look at a cross section of the frame. The frame has multiple chambers of different sizes. More chambers means higher quality. Good-quality frames and sashes have more chambers to avoid deformation due to vinyl melting from the sun’s heat. Screws, brackets and caulk, or welding are the two methods used to assemble frames. Caulked seams can break during shipment. Welding, on the other hand, chemically reacts with the PVC to form a smooth vinyl seal. Look for additional features such as reinforced meeting rails and balanced systems that indicate higher-quality windows. Design Your home’s architecture dictates what type of vinyl window is right for you. The age and overall aesthetics of your home are important considerations, as radically changing the color or the style -- such as double-hung, casement, bow and other window types -- affect how the exterior looks. Choosing the wrong style may make your home look worse instead of improving it, and ultimately be a deal killer when trying to sell your home. Wilson’s Home Improvement offers a variety of finishes, some very closely mimicking wood. R-Values Frame construction and looks are not the only important factors in selecting vinyl replacement windows. You should consider the quality of glass and its insulating properties, commonly known as R-value. Based on standards set by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), R-values range from 0.9 to 3.0. The larger the number, the greater the energy efficiency as the glass will have more resistance to transferring heat in or out of the building. Glass works in conjunction with seals and tight frames to produce an energy efficient window. Do not confuse R-value with U-Value. R-Value is about the frame and U-Value is about the glass. Both work together to give you a more energy efficient vinyl window.
