Secrets a siding salesperson will NEVER tell you!

1. Many siding sales people will never show you the exact measurements for your siding project. This is because many never even measure the installation and add on footage to cover their cost if the installation takes more product. This is a VERY COMMON practice in the siding industry. Sidingbroker.com eliminates this problem because we can give the home owner exact measurements and material list because our photo software is very accurate!

2. Many siding sales people will not be honest about various things like the price is only good for today or tonight only. This is a sales close that the consumer should never fall for. A reputable company should always be able to give the home owner time to think about a very important decision like purchasing siding.

3. Most companies sub contract out the labor to install your siding and by doing this the home owner is opening themselves up to situations where the installer can place a lien on the home owners home if a dispute in pay between the company and the installer arises. This happens all the time in the siding industry. This is what creates turnover with installers and poor workmanship and home owners having to litigate! This will never happen with Sidingbroker.com because you deal direct with the installation crew. You also eliminate the chance of a lien being put on your home for materials since you deal direct with our national suppliers.

4. Many estimates from siding companies are incomplete and do not spell out the exact materials that are supposed to be used. The home owner will never know the difference if they are not informed about this before they sign a contract.

5. Lifetime labor warranties that are offered by siding companies are worth very little if the company goes out of business. In this recession there are many companies that are going out of business or are on the verge of going out of business these days.

6. Many siding companies switch manufactures all the time to find the cheapest price they can for their materials so they can charge the home owner more money. By doing this a home owner that deals with a company that no longer carries a certain brand can have trouble getting replacement parts in the future. If a siding panel is not available or discontinued the home owner is stuck with the problem and has little chance of getting the product replaced. Sidingbroker.com only deals with top manufactures that have a proven track record of taking care of warranty claims and they offer more product lines that have been on the market for years so the chance of getting replacement parts for your siding are greatly increased.

7. Many siding companies try to get the check from the homeowner as fast as they can after completion of an installation. Very few companies offer a complete and thorough inspection of siding at the end of the installation to make sure every panel moves properly, trim work that is installed correctly, flashing details, straightness of the walls after the installation, proper channeling and proper overlaps, making sure that the contractor cut the siding correctly in the channels so panels do not buckle in the future, proper caulking techniques, etc.

Sidingbroker.com gives the home owner a inspection sheet for the installer to check off before the installer gets paid. Sidingbroker.com also gives actual photos of how siding should be cut, trim work correctly installed, flashed and caulked, overhang and fascia photos that are properly installed, etc. to give the home owner the tools they need to make sure that they are getting the installation done correctly per manufactures instructions so the home owner can receive warranty coverage.
