Through the Vinyl Siding Institute’s (VSI’s)
Certified Installer Program, experienced professionals
receive thorough training on proper, industry-approved vinyl siding
installation techniques. VSI’s certification process involves
a combination of classroom training, hands-on instruction, and a
written test given by a Vinyl Siding Institute Certified
Trainer.
Each VSI Certified Installer must demonstrate the knowledge
and skills to properly install vinyl siding and accessories, based on
the industry standard, ASTM D4756. When you hire an installer
certified through the Vinyl Siding Institute’s program, you can be
confident that he or she knows how to:
- Correctly fasten the siding to allow for vinyl’s
normal expansion and contraction properties and keep it straight and
secure on the wall.
- Properly prepare the area
around doors, windows and other openings to prevent water
infiltration.
- Pay attention to the
details that will give your home a beautiful appearance that will last
over time.
Once you’ve decided to side a home with vinyl siding, it’s
important to know that the quality of the installation job is just as
important as choosing a high quality product. Using trained,
experienced, and certified professionals will help ensure that your
home’s vinyl siding will look great and perform well for years to
come.
