Tips for Cleaning Vinyl Siding

admin — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:19:10 +0000

Remember how bright and new your vinyl siding used to look when you first built your house? It’s discouraging to see how dull the vinyl siding gets after months and years of dirt and wear. The good news is, you can get that shiny new look back without breaking the bank. You can do it yourself! You have two options: pressure washing or a traditional cleaning with a hose and bucket.

Why use a pressure washer?
Using a pressure washer is definitely faster and less labor intensive than scrubbing the vinyl siding. All you do is pull the trigger! However some concern has arisen that the force of the water could cause the water to go under the vinyl and through the seams causing potential damage and rot to underlying wood or cause mold and mildew growth. Also, if you use a pressure washer, make sure to use a cleaner that is environmentally friendly and won’t harm surrounding plants.

Why use a hose and buckets?
The old fashioned way to clean your vinyl siding is more difficult but definitely has its advantages. Simply washing the vinyl with soap and water with a strong brush eliminates the worry that water could be forced under the siding. It can also be considered more environmentally friendly because there’s no need for an electric or gas engine.

Vinyl siding is almost maintenance free, but like anything exposed to the elements, it will eventually need some cleaning. You just have to determine which method is best for you! And remember…if you’re thinking of installing vinyl siding, contact the professionals at Trim-A-Seal of Indiana!

Why Choose Gutter Helmet For Your Gutter Protection System?

Zack — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:57:34 +0000

As many of us know, there are many gutter protection services in Northwest Indiana available to us homeowners. The question is, why choose Gutter Helmet? What makes Gutter Helmet a preferred customer choice over other brands? Well, there are many reasons, but one is most prominent. The Gutter Helmet protection system has one quality that no other brand on the market offers, this being the patented “Nose-Forward” design. As you can see in the picture, the nose of the system extends over past the gutter, allowing debris (twigs, leaves, etc.) to flow far past the gutter and onto the ground, as opposed to into your gutters. Many other brands attempt to imitate this system, but none are able to replicate it, allowing the debris to penetrate their system in various ways. Another benefit from choosing Gutter Helmet, is it’s ability to keep out nests, hives, and pests from clogging your gutters. Many other brands of gutter protection have systems that allow easy access for insects and animals, making them prime spots to nest in. Because of the sleak and smooth “Nose Foward” design, the opening between the system and the gutter is too small for anything to get in. Make the smart choice when looking for gutter protection systems, and choose Gutter Helmet… The first, the best, the #1 gutter protection system in the world!

5 Reasons To Replace Your Aluminum/Cement Siding With Vinyl Siding…

Zack — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:40:28 +0000

1. Great quality that can withstand rocks from lawnmowers, weather, etc.
2. Significantly improve face value and appearance of your home at low prices.
3. Easily replace a single damaged piece of siding.
4. Only maintenance is to spray and wash twice a year.
5. Long lasting and durable.

In addition to these points, there are many other positive benefits from switching to Alcoa, Variform, or Certainteed vinyl siding. Homeowners have found that installing Alcoa, Certainteed, or Variform vinyl siding is an eco-friendly alternative. When compared with products such as cement with vinyl, vinyl siding leads the way in making an effort to produce a more energy-efficient home. One reason is that the home’s exterior doesn’t need to be repainted every few couple years like fiber cement siding. Because of the light weight of Certainteed, Variform, and Alcoa vinyl siding, less energy is used in transporting it vs. heavier, less fuel efficient products like cement or brick. Also, vinyl siding is recyclable!

Another bonus when it comes to having a green, energy efficient home is that insulated vinyl siding can add 10% – 25% additional R-value to wall systems to reduce energy bills and help the earth at the same time.
