๐Ÿ“Œ Key Takeaway: Look for licensing, insurance and manufacturer certification โ€” many siding warranties depend on certified installation. Compare at least three written quotes.

Questions to Ask

  • Are you certified by the siding manufacturer?
  • Is removal, house wrap and trim included?
  • How do you price rot repairs?
  • What workmanship warranty do you offer?
  • Who pulls the permit?

Why Certification Matters

Manufacturers often offer extended warranties only when certified installers do the work. Improper nailing or gaps can void a material warranty.

Red Flags

  • Storm-chasing crews with out-of-state plates
  • No written contract or vague scope
  • Demands for full payment upfront
