"My consultation with Stellar was scheduled within a day, met with Patrick on 5/1/25. Time was taken to understand the process, everything that is involved and what my options were. Time was taken to listen to what we wanted/didn’t want and thorough explanation given of the entire process. On 5/2/25 Stellar contracting called to review details and confirm our choices. On 5/5/25 Stellar scheduling called and full installation scheduled for 5/9/25, completed 1 day! The crew and project manager, Cisco, were fabulous to deal with on the install day and even after. A link was provided where we could see pictures of the whole project as it happened. Cisco was readily available on install day and even after with questions and concerns. It was obvious that Cisco did care about the roof we were getting and took pride in the quality of the job that was done. The crew paid good attention to the clean up, there was a lot of debris all over the place. Looking forward to future business with them!"

Graves Brothers Home Improvement has been locally-owned and operated in Upstate N.Y. since 1977. As one of the fastest growing businesses in the region, they offer their residential and commercial clients Roofing, Siding, Windows, and other Home Improvement services. Graves is a nationally-recognized contractor that has been repeatedly named a Top 100 company in the region as well as one of the top 500 home improvement companies in the United States, annual Angie’s List certification holder, countless product certifications, and more. Graves Brothers services Upstate and Western New York and the Finger Lakes Region from their facilities in Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse.
"The positive: Graves Brothers will provide a quote for PARTIAL Siding projects where most companies won't talk to you unless you need a FULL Siding project. The installation team was quick and did a nice job. The Cons: Deceptive Sales. Your Typical Residential Home Services contactor. I had a complete east side siding replacement quoted. There is a 24" "Jog wall" between the exterior garage wall and the living quarters wall. Their quote included photos that show this wall in one of the views. A second photo shows the entire length of the wall outlined that includes this jog wall, but they did not replace the siding on this wall. A conversation BEFORE the project work started questioned if I intended on having the wall replaced and it was agreed that it should have been part of the proposal. The installers DID NOT replace the siding on this wall. I asked for a simple $500 credit and was willing to settle for a $350 credit which was more than fair. The Salesman insisted that seeing the wall was not assigned a "wall number" therefore it was not included in their proposal. Graves Brothers displayed ZERO interest in coming to a mutual agreement on the discrepancy. Update 7/19/2024: After continued conversations, the Sales Rep finally conceded that after speaking with his installers, that the work WAS included in the initial estimate and should have been completed. I gave Graves Brothers the option of discounting the price or returning to finish the work. They chose to finish the work which is scheduled this week. IMO, Speaking to his installation team should have been done PRIOR to him taking a flat stance with me that they were right and I was wrong. Give Graves Brothers Home Improvements a 3-Star rating for (finally) doing what was right. The installation was done well and the installers were professional, courteous and cleaned up well. Just make sure you document all conversations and get them in writing up front."

"We are so glad we picked High Peaks Contracting to construct our deck. From the design, which was well suited for our home and exactly what wanted but could never put on paper to the actual construction. It looks amazing and adds so much value to our home. We have been fantasizing about adding a deck for a few years and to finally see it completed with someone who was so easy to work with was amazing. I know this is something these people do all the time but they treated us and our project like it was the most important project they had! We were informed daily as to where we were in the project and the crew was easy to work with as well. Using a contractor is scary but Keith and his team took away the fear factor! High Peaks Contracting is the company we will continue to use and refer our family and friends to in the future."

Insulated vinyl siding significantly improves your home's thermal resistance compared to standard vinyl products. The foam backing helps minimize heat transfer through your exterior walls, particularly addressing thermal bridging through wall studs. While the exact performance depends on the specific product and installation quality, this improvement can contribute to more consistent indoor temperatures and potentially reduced energy consumption. For maximum energy efficiency, insulated siding works best as part of a comprehensive insulation strategy rather than as a standalone solution.
The additional investment in insulated vinyl siding delivers multiple benefits that many homeowners find worthwhile. Beyond potential energy savings, the foam backing enhances durability against impacts and weather conditions. The insulation layer also helps reduce exterior noise transmission and creates a more solid feel than standard vinyl products. In regions with temperature extremes, the improved thermal performance can enhance comfort while potentially reducing heating and cooling expenses over time. The improved rigidity also helps maintain its appearance longer than standard vinyl options.
The longevity of insulated vinyl siding depends on several factors, including installation quality, local climate conditions, and maintenance practices. With proper care and regular cleaning, these products maintain their functionality and appearance for many years. Manufacturers provide warranty coverage that reflects their confidence in the product's durability. Environmental factors like sun exposure intensity and extreme temperature fluctuations can influence how the siding ages over time. Regular inspection and prompt attention to any damaged areas help maximize the system's effective lifespan.
The investment required for insulated vinyl siding on a home with 2,000 square feet of exterior wall surface falls between $8,000 and $24,000. This considerable range reflects variations in material quality, installation complexity, and regional pricing differences. Homes with multiple stories or intricate architectural details require more labor hours and specialized techniques, positioning them toward the higher end of the price spectrum. Obtaining multiple detailed estimates from qualified contractors provides the most accurate picture of costs for your specific property and preferences.
