Let’s dive into the MainStreet vinyl siding line to help you gain a better idea of whether it’s the right siding solution for you. We’ll be taking a look at the benefits, profiles, finishes warranty and colors — but first let’s dive into CertainTeed’s dedication to sustainability, as well as the importance of working with a CertainTeed 5-Star certified contractor.

SUSTAINABILITY

CertainTeed’s focus on sustainability is one of the reasons we love working with them. One of their forward-thinking practices is building resistance, which is concerned with the practice of “designing innovative materials and driving smarter construction that withstands weather extremes and extends the life of our buildings.”

In addition to being good for the environment, this practice also leads to savings for homeowners because their siding lasts longer and is less likely to be in need of repair.

THE CERTAINTEED 5-STAR VINYL SIDING CONTRACTOR RATING

When you choose a siding installer, it’s important to make sure they are a CertainTeed 5-Star rated contractor.

The 5-star rating is more than just being an approved CertainTeed installer. It can only be earned through rigorous continuing education that includes product installation, sustainable building, as well as business best practices. To receive the 5-Star rating, a contractor also needs to complete CertainTeed’s Master Craftsman coursework.

Because of this, it’s considered the premier contractor program in the industry, and is highly regarded.
