In today’s article we continue our deep dive into CertainTeed vinyl siding, with a focus on the Carolina Beaded line.
CertainTeed is a Madison-area favorite because it is an impeccably made vinyl siding product that’s attractive, durable, and backed by an amazing 50-year, non-prorated lifetime limited warranty.
In case you missed them, here’s a recap of the siding styles we’ve covered so far …
With that said, let’s dive into Carolina Beaded vinyl siding and take a look at top benefits, profile types, finishes, warranty, and colors. We’ll also take a quick look at CertainTeed’s sustainability practices, and why their 5-Star Contractor rating is an important thing to look for in a siding contractor.
SUSTAINABILITY
CertainTeed is dedicated to sustainability and this shows up in how they create their products. One of their sustainability practices is what they call Adopting Circularity, which can be summarized as, “reimagining design and construction to better manage our resources through circular business practices: reducing waste, repurposing materials, and recycling.”
If sustainability is important to you, this is just one more reason to consider CertainTeed as a contender for your siding replacement.
THE CERTAINTEED 5-STAR VINYL SIDING CONTRACTOR RATING
Keep in mind that, when you choose a siding contractor, it’s a good idea to make sure that they have CertainTeed’s 5-Star Vinyl Siding Contractor rating.
This rating is considered the premier contractor program in the industry, and it gives homeowners another layer of peace of mind because any contractor with the rating has met specific criteria, including the completion of CertainTeed’s Master Craftsman coursework, plus rigorous continuing education that covers sustainable building, product installation, and business best practices.
At Legacy Exteriors, we’ve taken the time and effort to earn this rating because our goal is to always provide the best craftsmanship and installation for the homeowners we work with.
BENEFITS
- CertainTeed’s advanced technology engineering brings durability, strength, and stability to the Carolina Beaded series. For instance, the interlocking design and reinforced panels prevent warping or bending over time.
