Siding Question: Steel V. Vinyl

[Roofer]

For vinyl thickness we always use a .046 or better. Most of the cheaper stuff is .042.

luckey,

.046 was the thickness in the above photos.

I think installation has a very significant impact on warping. Like nailing the siding down tight, and using air guns without siding spacers (not sure of the exact term). It does not allow for heat/cold expansion.

If you want to see some shotty work and cheap materials, there is plenty in Cambridge. Not saying your house, because yours looks like a little higher end. The houses behind Menards over there are terrible.

A guy can go out and take a look around Scuzman(sp) Lake also. Was out there yesterday and there were alot of storm chaser signs in the yards. Immigrants all over. We even had a few approach us and ask if we were hiring. haha

I'm sure we'll have a few calls in the coming months to fix what some did and are now in a different state, chasing another storm.

Is your name Glen, by any chance?

[Roofer]

Nope not me. They are one of the storm chasers I am talking about though.

[river-rat4]

I was not referring to Glen Roo*ing, if that is what you mean.

[Roofer]

Yep, that's who I'm talking about. The guys that do the work are not the same people that own the company if you understand what I mean.
